He ages like a fine wine! It was a party for Julie Plec's birthday, so I'm wondering if he was invited because of his involvement on DC back when she may have been a writer/assistant? That seems like it would be the only logical reason. I can't remember who posted it, but I saw a video on Instagram that had him and KaDee in the background. I really hope more pics show up of them at the party.
I guess I do like the fact that Carina appreciates our beloved version and the people involved and thankfully is making sure everyone knows they're separate. But I also don't like the idea of her having characters in mind for all the OG's if/when the story gets to that point. I prefer keeping them completely separate and that means keeping the OG's off her version. I can handle Shiri directing, but appearances would strike me more as a ratings grab than anything else.
