I was very lucky yesterday (November 11th) to have several questions answered by Phoebe, Julie, and Carina. They ranged from questions about Hayley’s background to how Hope was named to what they wished could have included in the show.
In a broader question, has there ever been something you just really wanted to do on the show but for whatever reason couldn't? Do you have a favorite scene that got left on the cutting room floor?

I always wanted to do something in a period flashback but sadly logistically (even in a magical show) it didn't make sense? I had to look at all the lovely corsets and bonnets from afar, enviously. https://t.co/qcNq8H3ThG

I don't know that we've ever said who chose Hayley as a name. I like the Father K idea though.
There's a scene in ep 508 this year where we show again how Hope got her name.

We knew we wanted Hayley to die giving birth to Hope and wake up a hybrid, which is why we told Tyler's story in the first season.
There's not a single character's ending that we had planned from the beginning, and yet everyone's ending brings something full circle.

You can ask @cadlymack about all her despair re: scenes that were left behind. She has plenty! As for me, my only regret was not showing in flashback why Klaus made Elijah believe he had thrown his entire family into the ocean (from #TVD). We mention it in the finale, though.

1. Rebekah and Freya talking about Rebekah's experimentation with women, and the fact that Keelin is not an experiment for Freya.
2. Hayley and Klaus having a more in-depth conversation about Klaus having a bit of PTSD after 5 years in a dungeon. Her comforting him.— carina adly mackenzie (@cadlymack) November 11, 2017
3. A scene with Jackson and Freya sharing a drink that we wrote but never filmed. We had a whole story arc about the two of them connecting, but Nathan was a guest star & had to move on to something else, so it had to go.

Most of what gets cut is just characters talking about stuff that doesn't advance plot, it's just… human life emotion stuff. Unfortunately, that's the stuff that I LOVE the most. We're currently cutting stuff out of ep 508 & it's like watching someone do surgery on my baby.

Recently, Alyssa Milano took to twitter asking women to share their stories of sexual harassment and assault. “If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet.” She included an image of text that said, “Me too. Suggested by a friend: ‘If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote ‘Me too.’ as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.'” This is in light of the recent exposé by Ronan Farrow in The New Yorker revealing the sexual misconduct of Harvey Weinstein.
Phoebe shared her own experiences and thoughts on twitter.
Left phoneless and walletless in the dark on the side of a road, picked up by 2 guys, had to fend off the same thing again by them. No one is immune to assault or harassment. No one. Slut shaming and victim shaming is the same thing. I was a teenager and that type of story was accepted by the girls as normal, and used as a way to ruin my reputation and spread as gossip by the boys. That there is the problem. Also, I think about this at least zero times day. Very rarely over the last 10 years. But what I do think about daily is the day to day objectification of women’s bodies, of the accusations towards women in regards to their mental health. Who has ever been accused of being too fat, of being pregnant, of trying to steal someone’s boyfriend, of being anorexic, of being a drug addict. All accusations to rob women of their identities and their self worth. Being ashamed of being ourselves and of who we are and what we do, what we’ve done. I hope the next generation of girls sees that assault, and harassment, sexual or otherwise, is not normal. Should never be normal. And don’t feel weird/guilty/awkward or ashamed to speak out. Or not even need to speak out but to not feel like they’ve done anything wrong. Oh you know, “just a bit of locker room talk” they said.
Me too, Phoebe. Me too.
1. Her full name is Phoebe Jane Elizabeth Tonkin. How regal!
2. She was born on July 12, 1989. She’s 28 years old.
3. She’s actually Australian. Don’t let her American accent on The Originals fool you. Phoebe is a total Aussie. She grew up in Sydney, Australia.

7. She got her big break on the Australian teen show, H2o: Just Add Water. The show was about three girls who become mermaids after a mysterious island transforms them and gives them special powers.
8. She has history with her Originals co-star Claire Holt. The fellow Aussie plays Rebekah Mikaelson on The Originals, but she actually played Phoebe’s bestie and fellow mermaid on H2O: Just Add Water. BIGGEST. COINCIDENCE. EVER.
