The Originals Claire Holt, Phoebe Tonkin Reunite, Joke About H2O

They’ll always be Rebekah and Hayley! Claire Holt and Phoebe Tonkin reunited for a playdate with the former’s youngsters and reminisced now not on The Originals but on H2O: Just Add Water.

Holt’s husband, Andrew Joblon, posted an Instagram picture of the former costars on Wednesday, March 17. “These ladies keep making excuses about why they can’t bathe,” he quipped.

In the shot, Tonkin, 31, held her pal’s 6-month-old daughter, Elle, while Holt, 32, balanced her 23-month-old son, James, on her shoulders.

The Pretty Little Liars alum, who married Joblon, 38, in August 2018, reposted the pic on her Instagram Story, writing, “Loves a dad joke.”

Before the pals entered the Vampire Diaries universe, they starred on H2O: Just Add Water. Tonkin portrayed Cleo from 2006 to 2010, while Holt performed Emma from 2006 to 2008.

The Australian actresses later transitioned to The Originals, on which Holt took on the role of Rebekah Mikaelson and Tonkin performed Hayley Marshall from 2013 to 2018.

The Affair alum reflected on her lasting friendship with Holt during a 2014 fan event. “Claire used to be, like, the first particular person obviously that I told [about landing the part of Hayley],” she defined at the time. “I was 15 years old after I met Claire; she was once 16. We were both in the Gold Coast, which is a beach town in Sydney, for years. And then, after I moved to L.A., I actually stayed on Claire’s couch when I used to be auditioning. And she was once like, ‘This is the local coffee place.’ She in reality showed me the ropes of Los Angeles.”

As such, Tonkin was once extremely joyful to reunite with the 47 Meters Down celebrity on The Vampire Diaries and its derivative The Originals. “When I found out I was coming on Vampire Diaries and I instructed her, I believe she was simply so excited to have a good friend in Atlanta,” she recalled. “And then, in fact, once we had The Originals, it was simply, like, great. Now we simply both exclusively do TV presentations in combination.”

Holt, in the meantime, were given nostalgic for her time on The Originals in February, posting a number of behind-the-scenes pictures by means of Instagram. “Are photograph dumps still a thing?” she requested her followers. “TOGS edition.” She shared pics with Tonkin, Charles Michael Davis, Daniel Gillies, Riley Voelkel, Joseph Morgan and more of her costars.

Voelkel, 30, and Davis, 36, each and every left 3 heart emojis in the feedback section at the time.
