The storyline on the vampire sire lines will bring back the members of the Mikaelson family through flashback scenes in “The Originals” Season 3. The latest reports on the CW TV series tease that Claire Holt will return as Original vampire Rebekah Mikaelson as well as Casper Zafer, who portrays the original Finn Mikaelson. “The Originals” Season 3 will premiere on Thursday night, Oct. 8, at 9/8c on the CW Network.

Spoiler Alert: This feature contains major “The Originals” spoilers.

Executive producer Michael Narducci confirmed Claire Holt’s return in “The Originals” at the 2015 Television Critics Association (TCA) summer press tour, according to a report from E! News. Narducci explained that the new vampire character Aurora, played by Rebecca Breeds, is part of Original vampire Rebekah Mikaelson’s sire line.

“So we'll get to see some flashbacks between Rebekah and Aurora, and we'll also get to see Aurora come to our present day New Orleans and wreak some fun havoc. Absolutely, that means that Claire is returning. In flashbacks, it would have to be Claire,” Narducci said in the E! News report.

When Holt is not around, Maisie Richardson-Sellers portrays Rebekah Mikaelson but in the body of a witch named Eva Sinclair. However, Narducci teased that the team behind “The Originals” have a couple of ideas on how to bring Rebekah back in present-day New Orleans in both bodies but not at the same time.

Aside from Claire Holt, Nathaniel Buzolic and Casper Zafer will also appear in “The Originals” Season 3 as Kol Mikaelson and Finn Mikaelson, respectively. TVGuide reports that Zafer’s last appearance as Finn happened in “The Vampire Diaries” Season 3.

Finn got resurrected in the finale of “The Originals” Season 1 but he possessed the body of a witch named Vincent Griffith, played by Yusuf Gatewood. In “The Originals” Season 2, Freya Mikaelson, played by Riley Voelkel, drew out Finn’s soul from Vincent’s body and kept it safe in her talisman necklace.

For now, the fans will only see Rebekah, Kol and Finn in the flashback scenes of “The Originals” Season 3. Narducci told TVGuide that it will be a flashback that the viewers have never seen before.
