The Vampire Diaries and The Originals cast Containment Stars

Containment show runner Julie Plec keeps it in the family

Containment may have been cancelled but show runner Julie Plec loves to keep her cast close. We have seen it countless times, like when Phoebe Tonkin joined TVD from The Secret Circle, or when she launched Containment and cast TVD’s Christopher Wood and TO’s Claudia Black. Now that Containment is ending we are seeing the trend the other way.

EW has confirmed that both Kristen Gutoskie and Christina Moses will be moving to Julie’s other shows.

Gutoskie, who plays Katie on Containment, will join The Vampire Diaries’ as Seline. “a warm, nurturing nanny of two young kids by day, and a small-town girl trying to find her place in a dangerous world by night. Bonded to her new ‘family’ in ways she can’t explain, Seline will fight desperately to protect the ones she loves.” Gutoskie will appear from the start of season 8.

Nanny of two young kids? Sounds like she could be set to look after Caroline’s twins perhaps. I remember Gutoskie from a show called Beaver Falls, set in a summer camp. She played one of the counsellors and was quite a lot like the description of this new character sounds, although with less danger.

Moses, who currently plays Jana on Containment, will join The Originals as Keelin,  “a smart, strong resourceful ER doctor — and the last living werewolf of her line. Keelin is openly bisexual, warm and unguarded by nature; but after the rest of her family was hunted to extinction, she went into hiding and since then she’s deliberately avoided getting too close to anyone. She lives in fear of being discovered by the wrong people and has no idea that she’s currently on a collision course with the Mikaelsons.” Moses will first appear in the season 4 premiere.

That sounds interesting since as far as we know, when the season begins, the Mikaelsons will all still be KO’d by Freya’s whammy/Tunde’s dagger. How will this new wolf fit in? Who will she interact with? Will be keeping an eye on this for more information.

As yet we still do not have a premiere date for season 4 of The Originals, since it has been pushed back to a mid-season debut. The Vampire Diaries will return Friday, Oct. 21 at 8pm.
