Alexander will play Talbot, an “intensely beautiful” vampire, the boyfriend of Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare), the vampire king of Mississippi. Sounds cool! Talbot has an acerbic sense of humor and loves to cook despite vampires’ inherent lack of cooking talents. Bowler will play Coot, a werewolf, the menacing ringleader of a biker gang.

Several key new roles are yet to be filled, including white trash Debbie, hot Latino orderly Jesus, handsome vampire Franklin, alpha male werewolf Alcid and hot but trashy Chrystal.
Can’t wait!!

Bauer plays Pam the sidekick of Eric and the screener of Fangtasia. Ball said he thinks Pam has a “lesbian vibe”, explaining further, “I don’t know that that’s all she is, but she certainly does seem to appreciate the women.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised,” Bauer told E! about Ball’s plan to have Pam swinging the other way. “I think she’s pansexual.” One character that she pointed out to be her potential love interest was Ginger. “There are so many hot ones, but I’ll pick Ginger. Ginger’s hot. Ginger’s fun. She’s a screamer and she’s a blood donor,” the actress stated her reason.

The show is indeed no stranger to GLBT characters. Lafayette, who is the flamboyant cousin of Tara, will be getting a new love interest in the third season, Ball confirmed. Beside, the new character King of Mississippi aka Russell Edgington who is played by actor Denis O’Hare will also be gay. He has a long-term partner named Talbot.

The third season of “True Blood” arrives in June 2010.

SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT FORWARD. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. ‘I’D TURN BACK IF I WERE YOU’ 

The Characters:

Sookie

She’s not entirely human that’s for sure. Series creator Alan Ball won’t tell exactly what she is but assures fans that it will be revealed next season. “Sookie has a stronger genetic predisposition in another direction. People who have read the books know exactly what I’m talking about. People who haven’t, it will be revealed.   Based on the books, however, Sookie is a fairy.

Eric

The Viking vamp was missing for the most part of the second season finale but Alan Ball tells us there’s a reason why and assures fans that Eric will be a prominent character in season 3. And once he resurfaces, he’ll be making lots of sexy time with tremendously hot and bold Yvetta, Fangtasia’s new Czechoslovakian dancer.

Tara

Tara hasn’t been so lucky when it comes to the matters of the heart. This season, however, she’s getting her very own vampire buddy in the form of Franklin Mott, who is described as very very sexy and over-protective. But she’s not the only one on cloud nine because as it turns out, her ever-distraught mom turns to the church for comfort and “maybe a little more” in the form of honorable Reverend Daniels.

Jason

Jason will find himself in an embarrassing situation when two NYU girls, Jen and Missy, try to get him into the sack.

Lafayette

We will be seeing more and more of Lafayette in season 3 as he gets vulnerable not just because he’s afraid of Eric. He also gets a boyfriend!

Andy

He’ll find out that he is related to somebody and it will totally shock him when he discovers who it is.

Godrick

The vampire may have committed suicide by sunlight but he may still appear in the coming season in flashback scenes with Eric.

Queen Sophie-Anne

Queen Sophie-Anne may not have come across scary when she was first introduced in the second season but Ball says she will be in season 3. “You don’t want to introduce a character you’re going to see later and blow your wad up front. All I can say is keep watching. It will make sense,” Ball explained of Queen Sophie-Anne who will return for the new season but not as a series regular.

Shocking Plots:

The Bombshell Secret

Ever since Queen Sophie-Anne graced the second season of True Blood, Bill and Sookie fans have been haunted with a theory from the Charlaine Harris books that would certainly destroy their favorite vampire-human couple: that Bill is working for the Queen and he came to Bon Temps to seduce Sookie with ulterior motives. It’s certainly an issue that would divide True Blood fans as this will push Sookie right into the arms of Eric, and while series creator Alan Ball hasn’t really followed the novels to the letter, he isn’t completely shutting out the idea either.

“It’s certainly something that I found really compelling in the books,” Ball says of Bill’s deep dark secret. “I was like, ‘Wow.’ But I can’t really tell you what I’m going to do story-wise. So much of the appeal of the show depends on the element of surprise.”

“I try to stay out of how the fans are responding to the show,” he added. “I have to tell the story that I think is the most interesting story. Certainly, the main ingredient in drama is conflict and revelations. For every person who loves Bill and wants him and Sookie to just be in love always, there’s another person who’s like, ‘I’m sick of Bill. He’s such a wuss. I like Eric. He’s dangerous.’ Especially when you’re working on a show like this with the kind of palette and the colors you use; you want it to be continually surprising and shocking. Not for the sake of being shocking, but that’s part of the fun.”

Sookie and Eric, will they or won’t they?

Season 2 left fans with a cliffhanger that saw Bill being abducted just before Sookie was supposed to accept his marriage proposal. Now that Bill is seemingly and temporarily out of the picture, we are now left wondering if Eric and Sookie will finally get together in season 3. But Ball tells us, “I can’t tell you if they’re going to get together, because that’s going to ruin the anticipation. But, if you’ve been following season two, he’s definitely been doing things to make her more vulnerable and more susceptible to him. And he does want her, he’s just not sure why. I think it’s deeper than just, ‘I want her because Bill Compton has her.’ Although that’s part of it, because Eric is a total alpha-dog.”

Casting News:

• Tony winner Denis O’Hare has been cast to play Russell Edgington, the King of Mississippi.  There’s no word yet on how far the series will deviate from the books, but based on the Charlaine Harris novels, Russell is described as the perfect southern gentleman who prefers men.  O’Hare joins season 3 as one of the regulars and is expected to make his debut early on.

• Season 3 will also include werewolf Alcide, super bad vampire Franklin Mott, Sam’s blood relatives and a character named Debbie Pelt, who is “bad news” and an ex-girlfriend of a guy who’s helping Sookie find Bill.

• Tommy Mickens will be introduced as a scruffy but attractive man in his early ’20s who just so happens to be Sam Merlotte’s long-lost younger brother. He’ll be showing his “unadorned backside, which, with Sam’s similar feral tendency towards the ‘full moon,’ proves that they really must be related after all.”

• Beginning the second episode, Talbot, a sarcastic vampire with a model’s looks, will surface as a “guide of sorts” for the kidnapped Bill.

• A character named Jesus Velasquez, an “unordinary orderly with a heart to match his good looks,” will also introduced in the third season.

A guy named Coot will lead a pack of rednecks this season.

Katie Holmes (Cruise) also stars.

Little known fact? Elizabeth Reaser and Nikki Reed, who’ve become great friends during the last leg of Twilight series filming with The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, have a joint affinity for True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard (who portrays Sookie’s other love interest Eric in the series).
