Daniel Gillies, ever the charmer, recently sat down with a group of reporters on set in Atlanta to discuss The Originals Season 3. Now that Elijah knows the secrets hidden behind the red door, he's coming into his own again as a character and stepping out of Klaus' shadow.

With his own motivations and thoughts about how to protect the Mikaelson family, there's a greater than average chance that the rift between Elijah and his brother will only get deeper before they build a bridge.

How does Gillies feel about the direction his character is headed on The Originals Season 3? And what does he believe Elijah would do if Hayley were suddenly on the market? Take a look at our gallery of Gillies for the scoop!

‘The Originals’ Daniel Gillies on Elijah and Hayley love, Klaus as a dad and more

Zap2It

As “The Originals” prepares for its Season 3 premiere, there’s much to talk about in terms of the Mikaelson family. After working together to defeat Dahlia (Claudia Black) in the Season 2 finale, things have definitely changed in the French Quarter.

Zap2it spoke with Elijah Mikaelson himself — Daniel Gillies — about what the new season brings in terms of danger for the family and the continuing tentions between Elijah and Klaus (Joseph Morgan). Plus, what are the odds that the eldest Mikaelson brother could find love with Hayley, the mother of his niece?

Daniel Gillies: When he told everybody to come out to New Orleans at the beginning of the show, he had such hopes and dreams and aspirations. Those have sort of been rocked and shattered due to a variety of cataclysms that have been thrown at them from every single angle.
