Pam of True Blood to go Lesbian
Queen of Louisiana Sophie-Ann may not be the only lesbian on “True Blood”. After creator Alan Ball projected his thought of having other characters to have a same-sex relationship, actress Kristin Bauer has stepped forward to express her willingness to participate in that storyline.
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.
It looks like season three is lining up to be as good as the first two seasons. You never know what, exactly, to expect with TB. I love cliffhangers! June is a long way off, but I’ll watch seasons 1 & 2 again before then, and I’m also watching The Vampire Diaries, and reading Charlaine Harris, Anne McCaffrey, and Anne Rice. Dragons and Vampires, that should keep me busy until TB comes back!!
I sure hope this doesnt turn into a gay fest, or anything else to be considered taboo. The story line is so compelling in itself with the characters as they are with the perfect % of misteriousness. Throwing in a bunch of things on the side will surely deplete the depth of the already deep, interesting, and slightly misterious characters.
