We visited the set of The Originals in Conyers, GA on Monday and while there had the chance to chat with stars Joseph Morgan and Phoebe Tonkin about what’s ahead for the much-talked about ‘ship (that hasn’t quite sailed yet), Klayley.

While we aren’t sure about a love connection just yet, fans can at least look forward to seeing the two in the same room more often. “Yeah I just did a scene with her now, so yeah,” Morgan laughed when asked by reporters whether or not the two will have more scenes together in the future. “There’s definitely more interaction with Hayley. Not all negative. She sometimes has a way of cutting through all of Klaus’ bullshit and telling him how it is and she does do that in an upcoming episode.”

Klaus and Hayley arguably have one of the most complicated relationships in the series, but it seems that for Hope’s sake the two will come to some sort of understanding about raising their daughter.

“I think they’ve sort of come to an agreement,” Phoebe said. “I think that Klaus realizes that what he did was really bad. I think they’ve created this, kind of, contract so that [Hope’s] split between the two of them. So she spends a lot of time with Freya and Klaus, and then the other half of the time with Hayley and Jackson.”

Since Hayley and Jackson live right next door now, it means Klaus is close to his daughter at all times, but it also means that he has a front row view of the family he’ll never have, as we saw last in last week’s episode.

“I think he feels jealous of the idea that Hope can be happy without him and frightened of that, that she won’t need him,” said Morgan of Klaus’ thoughts on Hayley’s happy family. “The idea of them having the perfect little family living just across the street is pretty terrifying for him because there’s no room in that for him and [Hope’s] the most important thing in the world to him and she really is the sort of personification of this pure love that he feels and has allowed himself to feel for her.”

Don’t get too happy Klayley shippers. This isn’t your normal, run-of-the-mill jealous ex situation. “I wouldn’t say he’s jealous,” Morgan continued. “I think it’s more than that. I think he’s legitimately frightened that the more this progresses and the more that Hope grows, that she’ll realize ‘My dad’s a pretty terrible guy and I’ve got a good thing going on here’. There’s definitely a lot of insecurities there, which he’ll probably act out on.”

“To see Hayley in the really kind of normal family environment, with her husband and with her baby and their apartment. I think that probably hurt Klaus,” Tonkin said of Klaus’ views on Hayley’s new normal. “Not because he wanted to be there with Hayley, but because he know’s he’ll probably never have that kind of lifestyle with anyone. This was his one shot to have a kid and he’s created a terrible relationship with the kid’s mother and it’s kind of irreparable. I think he resents the fact that Hayley has some tiny smidge of a normal life and he’ll never have that.”

Between her husband Jackson, her baby daddy Klaus and her [insert complicated adjective here] Elijah, The Originals‘ Hayley Marshall-Kenner is up to her claws in dude drama.

And while we’re eager to see how Phoebe Tonkin‘s character handles the boys of the Big Easy, we first have to discuss Hayley’s brutal battle with Klaus in “You Hung the Moon,” which earned Tonkin a spot as TVLine’s Performer of the Week.

“That and the scene where I gave birth in the finale of Season 1 were probably the two hardest days I’ve ever had on set,” Tonkin tells TVLine. “When you watch those scenes, they only run for about five or six minutes, but they each took, like, 14 hours to film. It was exhausting.”

Below, Tonkin offers up more details from the big fight, previews a new enemy on the horizon and discusses the importance of The Originals‘ female friendships.

TVLINE | So, 14 hours, huh? That’s a lot of screaming.

[Laughs] Yeah, you just kind of do as much as you can. Joe was great to work with, but we also had little baby Hope who was just not cooperating. You’re doing all this tough, emotional work, and then you’re like, “No, Hope, get away from the balcony!” or “Get away from the stairs!” It was a whole other thing, so that would take me out of [the scene] and I’d have to find a way back in. That was probably the most challenging part.

TVLINE | I’m really enjoying Hayley and Davina’s friendship this season.

I think it’s nice, too. Hayley went through a lot of the show without having any real friends. She was always there to support Klaus or Elijah, and it’s important to show that kind of female friendship. I’m glad that they’re utilizing that. The girls all have such good chemistry with one another, and it’s an ensemble show, so it’s important to show the females fighting together for what they want.

TVLINE | Speaking of fighting, who do Hayley and Marcel have tied up in the photos from Thursday’s episode?

Ah, yes. That’s someone I can’t elaborate too much about, but he’s someone who’s not on the Mikaelsons’ side. He’s a potential threat to Hayley and Marcel, so they team up a little bit to show him what’s right and what’s wrong.

TVLINE | During a recent Q&A, Michael Narducci mentioned Hayley having to make a big decision about her allegiances. What’s going on in Hayley’s head right now?

I think Hayley’s just trying to do what she’s always done, which is to protect her child. She’s trying to keep the city safe enough for her daughter to have a normal life, and she’s working on her relationship with Jackson. There’s been a lot of pressure on [their marriage] recently, because she’s been having to spend a lot of time with Elijah, and Jackson knows she has a history with him. So she’s pretty preoccupied with maintaining a healthy marriage and looking after Hope.

TVLINE | Do you think Klaus and Hayley will ever be able to sit down and have a civil conversation?

Klaus and Hayley don’t really have a lot of scenes together, especially by themselves, but I’m really hoping they do [in the future], because there are a lot of issues that have been swept under the rug that need to be addressed. They have a kid together, and they have all this history — I don’t think it’s as simple as it looks on screen. Klaus has done some really awful things to Hayley and she shouldn’t forgive him easily.

TVLINE | Last week’s episode was an interesting change of pace, with everyone slipping into formal wear. Do you prefer those classier party episodes or the bloody fights?

[Laughs] I’m quite lucky, I get to wear my favorite pair of jeans and a henley every episode. It’s so comfortable. It’s also fun to get dressed up, but in three seasons, I don’t think I’ve ever worn high heels. Even in a ball gown, or a wedding dress, I’m in flats. I manage to escape the heels, so I feel like I got really lucky.

In what century were the Originals turned into vampires? Who was the show’s first murder victim? What is Hayley’s birth name?

For fans of the CW’s Vampire Diaries spin-off, these questions are a piece of cake. But what about for the show’s stars? EW quizzed Phoebe Tonkin, who plays Hayley, and Charles Michael Davis, who plays Marcel, to see how well they know their own show.

Watch the video above to find out which Original sibling both actors forgot about (and which of the X-Men Davis almost listed as one of them), witness their confusion over how to figure out Marcel’s age, and see which of the stars comes out on top.
