We didn’t see Klaus’s body turn to ash, so I assume there’s some plan in place to keep Joseph Morgan in the mix.
Yep. I’d say there’s a fairly significant chance, if not a 99.9% likelihood that body did not burn up in that coffin.
Before we see him return to that body, is he going to have a little fun being Tyler?
Yep. He’s definitely going to prolong his stay, at least in the first episode, due to circumstance. Whatever goes down between Caroline and “Tyler” in the first episode will actually be happening between Caroline and Klaus, so we’ll have some fun there.

So there you have it, fellow Klaus army soldiers! Klaus will return to his own body, so Joseph Morgan will eventually be back!!!

SOMEONE TRY AND REASSURE ME, CHEER ME UP.
Klaus is in Tyler’s body?? That’s almost as bad as a death for me. I’m sorry but I don’t want to see Michael Trevino play Klaus. In my mind, Klaus is Joseph Morgan, and NO ONE ELSE. Do you guys think Klaus’ body is really burnt to ash (they closed the coffin as he was burning, so we didn’t get to see) or is his body intact, possibly, and he can return to it. I hope he can return to his own body after a few episodes to be the Klaus we know and love.
I wanna know what you guys think, because I’m so sad at the possibility of never seeing Klaus-Klaus, real Klaus, Joseph Morgan klaus, on VD ever again.
