The Originals‘ Danielle Campbell Previews Davina’s Return: Does She Hold the Key to Defeating the Hollow?
The Originals‘ head witch in charge makes her triumphant return to New Orleans on Friday (The CW, 8/7c), but while fans may be excited to see Danielle Campbell back in action, her character isn’t exactly thrilled about reuniting with the Mikaelsons.
“She’s never happy to see Klaus, and I don’t see that dynamic changing much,” Campbell tells TVLine. “But in order to protect the people she loves, Davina needs to bring Klaus and Hayley up to speed.”
Which brings us to the purpose of Davina’s spiritual stop-and-chat: “The Hollow is creating all this trouble for everyone, so Davina’s visit is basically to give Klaus and Hayley as much background as they can in order to defeat her,” Campbell explains. “Since she’s been in the ancestral realm, Davina’s gotten to watch everything unfold. She can see everything that’s happening, so she has a lot more knowledge on her end, while the others are still trying to figure things out.”
Unfortunately, Campbell doesn’t exactly share her character’s newfound omniscience. “I had no idea what was going on,” she admits. “I was reading my script and had no idea why anything was happening. It was so much easier when I was on the show full-time and could watch how certain stories were progressing.” (Not that Campbell didn’t also need a few “refreshers” when Davina was still alive. As she notes, “You’re always challenged with this show.”
As for the excitement surrounding Davina’s return, Campbell says it “means the world” to know that her character has been missed by the show’s fans. “It’s such a big compliment to have someone enjoy your work and the story you’re telling, and the writers do such a good job of making it all feel real,” she adds. “I’ll always be honored to play her.”

Please no more Davina. Haven’t we suffered enough?
Thank you! I hate, hate this character. Whiny little tween brat, butt-face! This is one of my favorite shows and one of the few that was renewed; I hope they don’t ruin it by bringing her back full time.
Lol, she is selfish witch, I don’t see any good in her. She only care about herself nd those annoying people (Marcel, Josh). Hate her.
I wish what ever you wrote ,its opposite happens because whole time I was watching this season with a hope of happy ending for kolvina.

Thank u, REALLY Thank u 4 renewing The Originals! ! Since sadly the Vampire diaries had their last season, which I luved that show, had seen absolutely every episode! So I now Luv The Originals!!💙👍
I just started watching season 3 of the Originals on Netflix after finishing The Vampire Diaries all 8 seasons one after the other. I can’t wait for season four to begin. I just wish I had the luxury of being able to watch any episode I want but look forward to catching it every week.
That’s mean we going to have kolvina back 🙌
More Davina and Marcel please…
Here again the crapping writing has destroyed another great show the Originals like the Vampire Diaries. How could you split up the great vampires the Originals by putting the hollow in the 4 Mikaelson’s & now can never be together again. What a horrible ending to a great show. Why couldn’t you for once make a happy ending let the family reunite and save them all from danger. But no you ruined another great show. You have made fans outraged. I hope you don’t destroy Legacies the same way or you will lose the whole fan base. Be smart this time give us the happy ending with Hope.
Boo to Davina & the Hollow we are sick of it all. Now you want to split the Mikaelson’s up for good. Really you couldn’t make your fans happy. Don’t ruine the Originals like the Vampire Diaries. You should have given us a happy ending not the dark crap. Boo boo to the writers, I could have written a better ending. Shame on you for destroying our favorite Mikaelson’s.
I really miss the lady 😥😥
