Nina Dobrev will be jumping over to The CW spinoff in the fifth episode of The Originals' sophomore season, The Hollywood Reporterconfirms. She will appear in flashbacks as original doppelganger Tatia in the Nov. 3 episode.
In an interview with E! Online, which broke the news,The Originals creator Julie Plec explained the context of Dobrev's drop-by. "There was a character's name introduced a long time ago in season three in association with Klaus and Elijah and how they became vampires and a girl that they both loved a long time ago who was the original doppelganger, Tatia," she said.
Dobrev is the latest Vampire Diaries castmember to make the trip to the spinoff, following in the footsteps of Michael Trevino, who appeared in two episodes. In January, The Originals stars Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies and Claire Holt also crossed over toVampire Diaries for the 100th episode.

Who's ready for yet another impressive role from doppelganger expert Nina Dobrev?
That's right, the TVD star is about to show off her acting chops once more by introducing another doppelganger via flashbacks to the TVD/Originals universe.
"There's a lot of people that could cross over, and when we plan our crossovers, we like to think of the most clever way to integrate The Vampire Diaries mythology into The Originalsmythology," Plec tells us. "There was a character's name introduced a long time ago in season three in association with Klaus [Joseph Morgan] and Elijah [Daniel Gillies] and how they became vampires and a girl that they both loved a long time ago who was the original doppelgnger, Tatia. So Nina Dobrev will be visiting The Originals for a nice little storyline in our fifth episode which airs November 3."
