Doppelgängers: A Vampire Diaries Podcast

This week is Father Kieran’s Funeral Extravaganza! And all of New Orleans is invited! Cami attempts to grieve, but is yet again pulled into supernatural business by Marcel, Francesca, and her own nosiness. Mikael starts entering Klaus and Elijah’s dreams, because a true hater never rests. Monique makes a move to kill Hayley and her baby, which causes Hayley to make a quick trip to the Other Side,...

Elijah makes another trip to the bayou to confront Hayley about the wolf deal with Klaus, but gets side tracked when a suicide bomber rides in. Elijah and Jackson tend to the wounded, Oliver acts super weird, and Hayley goes to investigate the room suspect, Marcel. But Marcel has an entirely different bomb to drop on Hayley. Meanwhile, we finally get a real update on Kieran’s hex and it is not loo...

With the tenuous new treaty freshly signed, Genevieve suggests a party where the witches get gifts … ok! Marcel plots a revolution from his rug and lamp emporium, but is not prepared for the price he has to pay. Hayley joins in on Jackson and Oliver’s alliance with Klaus (which Klaus didn’t agree to by the way), but she still finds time to make eyes at Elijah. Davina slays with her bestie Josh by...

In the aftermath of Rebekah's exit, Klaus returns to his favorite pastime, painting super depressing paintings. He also decides it is a good idea to hook up with Genevieve, which I think everyone else can agree is dumb. Davina faces the wrath of Monique, and gets support from Josh while she’s feeling alone. Meanwhile, Elijah takes over the leadership oh the quarter and works on brokering peace. Ha...

Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah have been trapped in the cemetery to work out their problems this week, and the tensions are high! Marcel tries to help Rebekah out but ends up making bad deals and being banished. Davina settles back into the land of the living after a deeply traumatizing time dead. Finally, Rebekah leaves New Orleans??? Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers! Follow us on Instag...

Well, Rebekah’s secret is out and Klaus is MAD! Elijah enlists Cami to calm Klaus down, and of course Klaus takes that time to tell the story of Mikael’s arrival in 1919. We all get reminded of just how evil Mikael is through a true Guignol (new vocab alert!), and even Cami can’t stop Klaus’s hunger for revenge. Meanwhile, Rebekah and Marcel do not leave town and decide today is the day to bring D...

Rebekah and Klaus are held captive in a sanatorium as another resurrected witch, Genevieve, gets her turn to tell her story. And, uh …. It’s kinda fair that she’s pissed! Meanwhile, Elijah enlists Hayley and Marcel to solve a tattoo based riddle, which causes Marcel to come clean about 1919. We (along with Klaus) see Rebekah’s memories of 1919, where she worked as a nurse during the influenza epid...

All of our resurrected witches have plans afoot this week, and we discuss the range of failure they have, and we expect they will continue to, experience. Father Kieran faces a familiar threat, which Klaus tries to creatively fix. Camille resists the urge to betray Klaus, but he face multiple enemies and that creepy knife we saw last week. Elijah goes on one of Sabine’s tours in order to expose Ce...

This week, we tune in for a very special EMMY NOMINATED episode, which features the one, the only, Papa Tunde. We learn his history, witness his yellow top night, and see him die! What a week. Meanwhile, Cami bonds with (and saves) Marcel, Rebekah is channeled and loses an ally, and Hayley serves face. But Davina still seems to be dead….. Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers! Follow us on...

After the drama of last week, everyone is happy to be back at the compound to move forward. Davina is mad to be stuck there, but some dangerous symptoms appear which take precedence and overflow into the city of New Orleans. Hayley works for Elijah’s forgiveness while Sophie has a plan for her newly acquired bones. As natural disasters hit New Orleans, there is a new urgency to complete the harves...

Happy Casket Girls Festival! Rebekah is feeling the girlboss spirit and uses it to start making some headway on alliances. Speaking of girlbosses, Davina successfully removes Klaus’s compulsion from Cami, leaving Cami pissed at Klaus AND Kieran. Klaus uses Tim to lure Davina back to the compound, where she shows off just how powerful she is, but then Klaus shows off just how easy it is to kill som...

Klaus got his empire, woohoo! Marcel is not happy but he is following his new king. Obviously, the transition in power is less than seamless, so Klaus tries to give his underlings a reward: a werewolf hunt. The very werewolves who are Hayley's family, of course, so Elijah and Rebekah have to spring to action. Luckily, they learn about another family connection! Meanwhile Klaus and Marcel manage th...

Klaus finally gets his empire this week, though it’s not all happy in his life - he’s still feuding with his siblings, and his compelled therapist/stenographer Cami has started fighting back with verbal jabs and secret messages for her compelled self. Inspired by Tyler’s new information, Rebekah and Marcel attempt to put down Klaus for good, with a half-baked, misguided plan that causes an honestl...

Grace and Stephanie revisit the first ever episode of TVD, and subsequently Doppelgängers, to discuss the first ever guesses and how the podcast began! Some banger guesses, some duds, but mostly a lot of fun thinking about how far we have come! Remember to rate, review, and share, brothers! Follow us on Instagram @doppelgangerspodcast!

An old pal visits New Orleans, but he’s feeling a lot less like a pal with some mean choices. We do however finally get the backstory on one of the worst emasculations from TVD. As we go out once again to the bayou, Klaus handles his emotions, especially about Elijah and Hayley getting closer, as well as you can expect. These siblings really do be going through it! Meanwhile Rebekah is still pisse...

Agnes is decides it’s time to try killing the Mikaelson baby for the second time, this time using an old-timey syringe called the needle of sorrows and taking advantage of Sophie’s linking spell. Elijah, meanwhile, has had it with the linking spell and enlists Davin to unlink Hayley (or, if you ask Davina, untie a knot). Elijah takes revenge on Agnes, and Klaus tries to take credit in front of Cam...

Each of our originals is out and about this week, busy learning about the highly eventful time 4 months before they arrive. Elijah and Davina bond over her betrayal and his need to manipulate. Hayley, Rebekah, and Sophie adventure to the bayou, while Sophie tries to reign in her web of lies. And Klaus and Marcel stall each other, essentially just having a fun boys’ lunch. Once Elijah reunites with...

Davina is the titular girl in New Orleans this week as she convinces Marcel to let her out on the town for the annual Dauphine Street Music Festival, while he enlists Cami to babysit. The evening takes them to Davina’s high school sweetheart Tim, who is tortured by Klaus in a church with a very dark history. Meanwhile, Hayley visits a “doctor” in the bayou with a nefarious purpose - luckily, Slayl...

You know we are really in The Originals now because we have our first fancy party this week! Klaus is working hard this week on a plan with many overlapping people that can only be described as flawless. That’s our king manipulator! Rebekah does her own manipulating, bringing Cami into the line of fire at the party. Cami does get quite a view of Marcel’s business it does not lead to positive concl...

Rebekah has finally arrived in New Orleans! She immediately starts beefing with Klaus, bonding with Hayley, and having sexual tension with her former beau Marcel - classic Rebekah! She even gets to meet the already iconic Davina. Meanwhile, we learn more about Klaus and Marcel’s demented father/son relationship. Plus, Marcel attempts to take Cami on a date, and Klaus adopts a new henchman - and he...

We made it to The Originals, we are in New Orleans baby! Elijah opens up the series with a star turn, and his very own yellow top night. Klaus, meanwhile, is busy having a meltdown because his past protogé, Marcel, is now running the French Quarter. That would be enough to mess him up, but he finds out the New Orleans witches lured him because Hayley, who he hooked up with one time, is pregnant! E...

The day is finally here! Grace and Stephanie debate the ultimate question: which Salvatore brother is the better person? Grace argues for Stefan, and Stephanie argues for Damon (as usual), in a debate where no topic is off-limits! From Damon killing Jeremy to the Wickery Bridge Affair, no brother gets off easy! It’s up to you to decide which brother (and which sister) you side with.  Remember to r...
