'The Originals' Showrunner Previews How Klaroline's Relationship Has Changed

Let’s be real here – it’s been a very, very long while since Caroline Forbes and Klaus Mikaelson have seen each other, and it will definitely show when The Originals returns for its’ final season premiere tonight.

Speaking with EW, showrunner Julie Plec opened up about how the could-be couple’s relationship has changed from instant fireworks to an mature one.

“It’s a shift from the instant fireworks of that kind of ‘young damsel in distress/bad boy with a buried heart’ dynamic that’s is so potent when you’re young,” she shared.

“As you get older, experience tells you that that kind of stuff can be just as dangerous as any monster, and so with age and wisdom comes a settled feeling of peace and maturity.”

Julie adds, “Where we’re finding Caroline, she’s there, and Klaus is constantly searching for that, so it’s a whole new dynamic for them because she can be a peer to him, she can be a support system to him and have an adult friendship and relationship with him in a way that she never could back when they were canoodling in series past.”

The Originals returns TONIGHT, Wednesday, April 18th on The CW.
