The CW is sticking with Daniella Pineda’s Originals plan…

The network has given an early renewal to its strongest series, including the freshmen drama The Originals, which stars the 26-year-old Mexican-American actress.

After a somewhat discouraging start behind its mothership series The Vampire Diaries, The Originals has flourished in the Tuesday 8:00 pm slot despite gloom and doom predictions about its face-off with ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Its potent pairing with Supernatural has doubled the CW’s Tuesday night ratings year-to-year in adults 18-34 (+100%, 1.4 vs. 0.7), grown +150% in adults 18-49 (1.5 vs. 0.6), and gained +88% in total viewers (3.2 million vs. 1.7 million).

Pineda portrays witch Sophie Deveraux on The Originals.

Her previous credits include appearances on Showtime’s Homeland and TNT’s Men of a Certain Age.

Charisma Carpenter is seeing blue…

The 43-year-old part-Spanish American actress will guest-star on CBS’ Blue Bloods this fall, according to TVGuide.com.

Charisma Carpenter

Carpenter, best known for her role as Cordelia Chase on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spin-off series Angel, will portray Marianne Romano, a former popular girl in high school, who is now flashy, overly needy and just too obvious for a guy with a touch of class. Having had a fling with Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) several years back, she calls on him for help when her abusive-fiancée strikes her in a fit of ‘roid rage.  But her attempt to tweak Danny’s heartstrings backfires when it results in a police investigation of her boyfriend.

Carpenter first announced the news on Twitter. “Playing ‘Marianne’ on [Blue Bloods] is the most fun I have had [with] a character in a long time. Staten Island accent and a lot of leopard!”

Carpenter’s television credits include appearances on Supernatural, Greek and The Lying Game.

Blue Bloods returns to CBS this season on Fridays at 10:00 pm ET.

Carpenter’s episode is slated for November.
