Joseph Morgan believed that Klaus was originally supposed to really die in season 3 finale. Eonline talks with him about season 4, the future of Klaus and Caroline in the show.

“I think the intention was to kill me at the end of season three, and yet I live on, so I must be doing something right!” Joseph tells us of Klaus’ near-death in the season three finale. “Part of it is I love my job and I talked to the show’s creator [Julie Plec]; we talked about what would be the best thing to do. She said, ‘I think there are some more stories to tell with this character,” and I said, ‘I agree, and I would love to have the opportunity to tell them.’”

So what stories are there left to tell? Well, there is that whole body swap with Tyler going on, which should take the love triangle in a very interesting (and creepy) direction in season four.

“I think it will end in tears, probably Caroline’s. I think Klaus will do his best to take advantage of the situation and to get something from it; I wouldn’t be surprised if he does,” Joseph predicts. “I wouldn’t be surprised if the first Klaroline kiss is in Tyler’s body, but eventually I think he’ll be found out because that has the most dramatic effect, right?”

While Joseph isn’t sure what will happen with Klaus and Caroline in the future, he says, “I’d like to explore the relationship further, for sure. I love working with Candice. I think there’s a chemistry there. I think it’s interesting to show more humanity of Klaus. I think our storyline allows that.

I think people are too attached to Tyler to just be Klaus forever!”
