True Blood Season 3 Spoiler: Returning Character
March 18, 2010
Michael Ausiello from EW.com has a little spoiler information regarding season 3 of True Blood. Nothing really shocking but is it always nice to get any information about our favorite vampire show. Here are Michael’s answers to two fan questions:
Question: Hello fellow Smurf lover! Any new scoop on the upcoming season of True Blood? —Candy
Ausiello: I’m 90 percent certain this is new: Mariana Klaveno is returning as Bill’s maker, Lorena, for roughly six episodes.Question: Do you know if True Blood’s third season will feature Bubba? He’s not exactly a major character in the books, but I still love him. —Kristal
Ausiello: Unfortunately, Alan Ball says he couldn’t figure out a way to introduce Bubba “without it being cheesy,” adding, “I don’t know how to do it without either using an Elvis impersonator, which is cheesy, or having somebody and never seeing their face, just hearing their voice — and to me that sounds equally cheesy. So that’s just one of the casualties of the transfer from book to screen.”

VIDEO: Kevin Alejandro Talks About True Blood’s Secrecy
March 4, 2010
In this installment of “Drinking with the Stars” Korbi Ghosh sat down with Kevin Alejandro to talk about his upcoming roles in Southland and True Blood. Korbi and Kevin talk casually over drinks about the resurrection of Southland, his character Nate, and what fans can expect in the upcoming season of Southland and True Blood (including some behind the scenes details about filming a riot scene in LA for Southland).
The second half of the short interview focuses on Kevin being a new cast member on True Blood. Kevin somewhat reluctantly talks about his character due to the secrecy of True Blood’s production, noting that every script comes with a unique number so any leaked script can be linked to a specific person.
What we know before season 3 premieres is that Kevin will be playing Lafayette’s (played by Nelsan Ellis) new love interest… but Kevin isn’t spilling the beans about who (or what) his “charming” character is!

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Sam, Sookie and Werewolves
February 17, 2010
We have all seen Sam Trammell who plays our favorite shapeshifter, Sam Merlotte on True Blood, talk numerous times about what we can expect on the upcoming season 3. Well he is at it once again, this time speaking with Digital Spy. Sam’s character was at the center of season 2 being involved with the whole Maryann mystery and season 3 promises to put Sam right back into the thick of things.
One thing Sam has said about season 3 is that fans will finally be introduced to his character’s biological family. This plot circles around the fact that more and more characters, such as Sookie, Jason, and Andy, have been exposed to the fact that Sam is a shapeshifter. Sam had this to say about the introduction of his character’s family.
“Screw it! I want to go find my parents.’ It’s going to lead to some pretty dramatic and interesting stuff for him this year.” Sam also revealed to fans that his character’s family can best be described as “pretty bad news.”
This should lead to some interesting twists in our True Blood saga.
Sam has also talked about how his character will always share a connection with Sookie, who is played by the lovely Anna Paquin, even though she has chosen to be with Bill. Sam states,
“I think Sam and Sookie will always have a connection. I think that’s an anchor for him and for the show that he will come back to again and again, season after season.”
As we all know we will be seeing the introduction of werewolves in season 3 however how the scenes with these new characters will be played out is still a mystery and we will have to wait until the new season airs. However, Sam did state some of his own theories regarding the werewolves.
“I’m not sure — I did read the books but I’m not exactly sure how the werewolves are going to be put into the show,” he said. “I do know the werewolves are disgusting creatures. They’re dirty, they’re not shape-shifters — they’re disgusting, low-level, smelly creatures. Perfect for Sam!”
Sam has also admitted that he hopes True Blood’s writers will place Sam in some more danger as the series continues. We can only wait and guess as to what is in store for our shapeshifter. But no matter what True Blood holds in store for Sam we know it will make for an amazing season 3!

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Kevin Alejandro’s First Scene
February 11, 2010
The other day we presented some tidbits that Kevin Alejandro shared regarding his role as Jesus Velasquez, the new orderly who takes care of Lafayette Reynolds‘ (Nelsan Ellis) mom (Alfre Woodard) and becomes his love interest in season 3 of True Blood. Today hollywoodcrush.mtv.com was able to get some more details from Kevin about what we are going to see with his character.
According to Kevin his character will be hanging around Bon Temps throughout the entire season with Lafayette and his mom so far. As to if he will be interacting with the other characters in the show he does not know yet.
“I’m not really sure yet. It’s so new — I think right now they’re establishing what Lafayette and Jesus are going to have. Also, I don’t get the whole script. If I’m not in the script, I don’t get it. They’re very, very secretive. I wish I could answer that question!”
Kevin admits it has been difficult to study for his part since his character does not exist in the books (neither does Lafayette beyond book 1). However, he is excited to take on the role of Jesus since the character is like nothing he’s ever done before and this will be the first time he will be playing a strong gay character.
Kevin mentioned that Alan Ball has been very helpful in giving him clues as to who Jesus is. Kevin did his best to explain how Alan was helping him research for his role, but as you see from his statement it is hard to explain without giving away too much which, understandably, he doesn’t want to do.
“[Alan] gives me little hints of who [Jesus] might be and what he might be going through, so I’ll research those things, like what makes up that guy,” Kevin said. “Help, I’m struggling for words here because I don’t want to give anything away! The problem is that I can’t refer to any the books so I have to focus on what people like him have gone through — if there are any stories out there like that.”
We do know that he is an orderly who is in charge of taking care of Lafayette’s mother in some sort of facility. Kevin was able to share a scene that he recently shot with Alfre which provides us with a glimpse into the interactions that he will have with Lafayette’s mother.
“I’m sitting there holding a bowl of peas, because I’m feeding her — she’s in the hospital. I’m sitting there and she’s spitting peas at me and I’m like ‘Wow, Alfre Woodard is really spitting peas at me.’”
As to whether Kevin will be able to handle the demands of shooting two shows (he also portrays gangland police detective Nate Moretta on Southland) Kevin reassures us that the two production companies are wonderful and that they keep the lines of communication open. As he says,
“Fortunately the production companies on both sides are awesome and talk to each other. They seem to really want to work with each other. I think it’s a great thing. Wherever they tell me to go, I’m going to go. I’ll probably be exhausted.”
Yes it may be a grueling schedule, but one that will be quite rewarding indeed.

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Jason and Hoyt’s New Situation
February 9, 2010
True Blood Season 3 spoiler alert regarding the latest about Jason and Hoyt. According to TV Guide Magazine, when Season 3 of True Blood comes back on air in June, Jason won’t be living alone anymore. No, no live in girlfriend yet, but instead a good guy friend. Hoyt will be living on Jason’s couch when we see him again. (Jim Parrack describes the living situation as being very much like The Odd Couple.)
And that’s not all. According to Ryan Kwanten, Jason will be encouraging Hoyt to get over Jessica and try out some new girls. However, don’t expect to see that happening. Even though we’ll see Jason in bed with two women in the first episode of Season 3, and Jason and the girls will invite Hoyt to join them, Hoyt will stick to his guns and stay loyal to his girlfriend, Vampire Jessica.
To add to that, Ryan has admitted to being very excited about Jason’s upcoming love arc which will have Jason falling in love with a very “different” kind of woman.
Sounds like a lot of fun stuff will be headed our way when Season 3 of True Blood starts in June!

True Blood Season 3 Casting Call for Episode 3.05 “Trouble”
February 5, 2010
Here is another True Blood Season 3 casting call for Episode 3.05 which is entitled “Trouble“. This is a minor role but based on the description it seems that in episode 5 we will be seeing a lot of Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) and his backstory. The casting call is for an attractive, buxom Swedish servant girl in her 20’s who will be kissed passionately and have her breasts fondled by Eric during the flashback scene to 900 AD. She will have no lines but will be required to do partial topless nudity.
It seems many Eric fans will enjoy this episode and it will add to the growing anticipation for the return of season 3 of True Blood in June.

True Blood Season 3 Spoiler News: Episode 5 Casting Call
February 3, 2010
There’s a new True Blood casting call. This time, the casting is for Episode 5 of Season 3, which is entitled Trouble, and calls for 4 guest roles, including Eric Northman’s parents Ulfrick and Astrid. The other two roles are for a Wolf Pack Leader and a church girl with a crush on Hoyt Fortenberry. Here are the details for these characters:
In a flashback scene set in 900 A.D., we meet Ulfrick, Eric’s (Alexander Skarsgård) father. Ulfrick is a Swedish Viking king in his 40s to 50s who has seen many battles as evident by his battle scars. Despite his position he is described as being warm and has a good relationship with Eric however, there is some tension between the two of them because Ulfrick wants Eric to learn responsibility and behave in a manner befitting royalty. The casting call is for a guest star to portray Ulfrick.
In the same flashback scene set in 900 A.D. we also meet Astrid, a Swedish Viking queen in her 30s with a new baby and is Eric’s mother. This casting call is also for a guest star to portray Astrid.
Another guest star casting call, this time for Colonel John Flood who is described as the Wolf Pack Leader in his 50s to 60s who is self-assured, and dressed like a golfer with a military haircut. Apparently he doesn’t react the way Sookie and Alcide expect to recent events.
It seems Jessica better watch out or someone is going to take Hoyt away from her. In the latest casting call a young girl in her 20s from Hoyt’s church is attracted to him in a chaste way. Summer is described as super positive and a nice girl.
Sounds like True Blood’s new guest characters are going to be giving us some new insight into a few of our favorite characters! Which of these four do you think will make the biggest impression on fans and do you have anyone in mind to play any of these characters?
