3. THE STORY THAT JULIE PLEC WANTED TO TELL, BUT COULDN’T
The showcreator Julie Plec has revealed in an interview that there’s one story that she wanted to tell on the Originals, but never got the chance during the five seasons. That one story is the full werewolf transformation of Klaus Mikaelson. Julie revealed that it was due to financial reasons that the story couldn’t happen. As we all know Klaus Mikaelson was born a werewolf and then through magic he became an Original Vampire, he was the first hybrid in TVD Universe. In TVD second season, the purpose of his arrival was to unlock his werewolf side through the hybrid ritual which he ultimately managed to. But we never got to see him in his werewolf form.
Julie Plec originally planned to showcase his werewolf transformation in the penultimate episode of the Originals. The initial draft had Klaus transforming with Hope, a father and daughter moment together. She desperately wanted to make it happen, but time and financial constraints stopped her.

2. KLAROLINE ENDING
When Julie Plec first started writing the Originals, her plan was to make Klaus and Caroline end up together. Once everything is over, Klaus would be in Paris with Caroline, that was the idea.
