The show is SO far away from the books at this point...we shouldn't count on the books' plot much IMO. Trying to be as realistic as possible, the chances of the spin-off NOT getting picked up rn are about...0.01%. When the president of the network goes to the writer about the project instead of the other way round, there's already a HUGE advantage. It's obvious everyone in the CW is very invested in this potential. The only problem would be if the pilot tanked in ratings, but this is highly unlikely. TVD's ratings have been very stable this season and my feeling/prediction is that the pilot's ratings won't be much different than any regular episode's. Anyway, even if the 0.01% possibility happens, I am sure (as sure as one can be with Julie Plec  ) that she has no plans to get rid of the Originals. Both the writing team and the audience love them too much. Mayby they would be onscreen less regularly though. Why do you think Joe wouldn't want to come back, Mandy? This is a philosophical question btw, because the spin-off is definitely getting picked up.It's just a feeling I get. He's already admitted that he was planning on approaching them about a spin off, but they came to him first. So he was already getting that itch to get away from the MF setting. He's been selling this spin off as hard as he can, he's definitely something he WANTS. I don't know, I'm just not sure I could see him coming back to TVD like he is now. I'm sure he'd do guest appearances and stuff, but he's just WAY to good to play second string and get 7 minutes of screen time per episode. Maybe it's my own bias, because I want him being nominated for awards and winning things and getting all the spot light.  Well, I can't say if you're right about him not coming back to TVD if Originals isn't picked up, but I definitely agree that he is far too talented to not take center stage. Also, it's been stated a few times now that Originals will be more mature, and though it seems like he enjoys working on TVD, I'm sure he does want to move on from a how directed primarily at teenagers. |

I think it was already posted, Kat. Notice Ausiello says "planted pilot". I think he's talking about ep 20. The "backdoor pilot". |
