Ian Somerhalder: Damon Isn’t Headed For The Vampire Diaries Spin-Off


The Vampire Diariesnew spin-off The Originals will air its pilot on April 25, which means the cast is gearing up to film. But not everyone gets to be a part of it. 

As Ian Somerhalder(Damon Salvatore) told MTV’s 10 on Top, “They’re shooting in New Orleans, and I’m from New Orleans, and I’m the only actor not going down there to shoot. I mean, what’s that?”

Mock outrage aside, the show is shaping up to be a can’t-miss event. “It’s something that’s been in the works a really long time now,” Claire Holt(Rebekah) explains. The Original sister will join Joseph Morgan (Klaus),Daniel Gillies (Elijah), and Phoebe Tonkin (Hayley), as well as a slew of newcomers, on the spin-off. 

We couldn’t help but wonder whether Caroline will make a surprise appearance on the new show. After all, according to her Twitter, Candice Accola was hanging out in New Orleans over the weekend. But who knows if she was there for pleasure — or business? 

Regardless, Paul Wesley (Stefan Salvatore) pointed out that the spin-off equals big things for TVD, as well. 

“The idea of these Originals leaving will create a reset button, and maybe we can get back to the roots of Vampire Diaries and sort of just basic human emotions, as opposed to all of these mythological events that have been unfolding,” said Paul.
