On July 22nd the cast of The Originals made their last appearance at the SDCC, it was recently announced that the upcoming fifth season of the show will be their final season. The cast and the shows co-creator Julie Plec certainly didn’t let the news of the end of the show keep them from having a good time while they answered fans questions. With each question asked, a genuine and thoughtful answer would follow, Joseph Morgan and Daniel Gillies even answered questions in the voice of a stuffed animal dolphin passed between the two. Other highlights included was the exciting news such as Caroline is due to be in the first episode of season five, and fans will see her and Klaus share a few scenes together in atleast a few episodes as the season gets going.

Fans were told that they can expect just about anyone to return for the final season, it might even be someone who was once on the Vampire Diaries. When asked what the cast will miss the most after the show is done, a sweet moment was shared between them all when it was unanimous that it would be Phoebe Tonkin that will be missed the most.
