• Ian Somerhalder made an appearance at Wizard World Philadelphia 2019.
  • He talked about how he and Paul Wesley were bitter about The Originals.
  • That being said, he adores Joseph Morgan aka Klaus.

Whenever you truly stan a show, you can't help but wonder what OG stars think of the spinoff. Are they happy to see the show go one even if it takes a different direction? Do they keep up with the unfolding drama? Or do they low-key despise it?

Ian Somerhalder got real AF at Wizard World Philadelphia 2019 when he was asked to name his favorite "K" villain from The Vampire Diaries: Katherine, Klaus, or Kai? According to CinemaBlend, Somerhalder said:

They were all amazing on their own. Klaus really ticked me off 'cause he left and went and got his own show. Rude. Oh my gosh, we -- by 'we' I mean Paul and I -- were so bitter with The Originals because we lost all of these amazing actors. Like, those were our peeps, dog. Plus, they had all those great accents. ... Klaus was an amazing -- Joseph Morgan is an insanely beautiful actor.

Damon does have a point here. There are very few characters that made it from the The Vampire Diaries series onto The Originals. While The Originals is known for some incredible and beloved characters like Marcel and Davina and who could forget Josh, wouldn't you have loved to see some more Damon and Stefan in there? There is that one episode where Stefan is passing through New Orleans on the run from the vampire hunter Rayna, but it jus wasn't enough!
