'The Originals' season 4 spoilers: Who will help Hayley save the Mikaelsons? Vincent to go up against Marcel?

With a January 2017 premiere being targeted for "The Originals" season 4, tons of theories and speculations have come up regarding the Mikaelsons fate after Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) took them to safety. The fact that Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) learned he has been duped into believing the Original family no longer exists and he is now hot on their trail only serves to make the fourth season's premise even more exciting.

The Inquisitr noted that on her own, it would be hard for Hayley to keep the siblings safe, especially with a baby in tow. Since there would be a significant time jump from the third season finale to season 4's premiere, there is a possibility that Hope would lend Hayley a hand in keeping the family safe. As the daughter of Hayley and Klaus (Joseph Morgan), Hope is part witch, wolf and vampire, and as young as she is, she could already harness her strength and power (in case she has it) to help her mother.

There are speculations that Hayley would use a witch to save the Mikaelsons or that Caroline (Candice Accola) from "The Vampire Diaries" would crossover to help find Klaus and find a cure for the various ailments plaguing his siblings.

Nevertheless, whoever's going to help Hayley would have to be someone she could trust, especially since her daughter's safety would be put on the line.

Meanwhile, Vincent (Yusuf Gatewood) could be going up against Marcel in "The Originals" season 4. Michael Narducci, the show's creator, told TV Line that Vincent "has a strong moral compass," and if Marcel so much as steps out of line, "Vincent would step up and have something to say about that."

However, Narducci's pronouncement doesn't necessarily mean that Marcel is the show's villain. Although he was the one who put the Mikaelsons in grave danger, Narducci claims he has "never once thought of Marcel as a villain" and said Marcel merely did what he had to do.

Will Hayley succeed in saving the Mikaelsons? Who will win when Vincent and Marcel go up against each other? Those and more questions will be answered when "The Originals" season 4 returns in mid-season of 2017.
