Cami Has a Long Vampire Transition Coming Up on 'The Originals'

We’re still reeling from last week’s episode of The Originals!

Not only did Jackson (Nathan Parsons) – SPOILER ALERT! – die, but Cami (Leah Pipes) officially became a vampire!

“Cami is someone who has some dark impulses and we’ve talked about how maybe that’s what led her to be fascinated by psychology and to be fascinated by Klaus and maybe those are some of the reasons why she stayed in New Orleans to begin with,” executive producer Michael Narducci told EW. “And now that that side of her is heightened by being a vampire, I think that’s something she’s going to want to explore. I think she’s in for a long transition into discovering who she’s going to be as a vampire.”

Michael continued, “She’s still going to love the people that she loves. She might be more inclined to take what she wants because she can. She might be less inclined to be afraid of people who are stronger than her because now she’s going to have power. She knows that there are enemies out there and she’s going to want to have to deal with them and not play any kind of victim card but be a little bit more physical and relish in being a vampire.”

“I don’t think Klaus is genetically engineered to be a good influence,” Michael added. “We’re talking about morally good.”
