Joseph Morgan is NOT Leaving 'The Originals' for Fox's New 'X-Men' Show

And you can let that deep breath you took yesterday out — Joseph Morgan is NOT leaving The Originals.

After a photo surfaced of Joseph at the first table read for Gifted (which might not be the official title anyhow), everyone freaked out just a little bit at the possibility that Joseph could be leaving the CW show.

However, that’s not the case at all.

According to EW, Joseph was just lending a helping hand and sitting in on the table read, likely reading lines for one or more characters who were not available to be there.
