"Here's the thing about happiness: It's great in our lives, but it's not really that interesting to watch on television."As Alan explains he feels that season 3 is going to be the best season up to now and that along with the great core cast, the addition of some new regulars and some guest spot appearances by notables such as Alfre Woodard, who will plays Lafayette's mother, it has been a fun and exciting season put together and he has high hope for it. Though he wasn't willing to giveaway anything he did give nine spoiler points for fans to savor. The Shifters and the Weres: Season 3 will introduce us to weres who we will discover may be different from shapeshifters but share some similarities.. This season we will be meeting several weres that will have significant storylines including werewolf Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello), his ex-girlfriend were Debbie Pelt (Brit Morgan), and werewolves Coot (Grant Bowler) and Gus (Don Swayze). While Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) meets his biological family and gets to know his brother Tommy Mickens (Marshall Allman) who may or may not be a shapeshifter. The Town of Hotshot: Readers of the book series are familiar with this town but for those will learn about the residents of this little community.
"We definitely do go to Hotshot. ... We meet Hotshot, we meet the people in Hotshot, we meet Crystal and her father, Calvin," Ball said. Crystal (Lindsay Pulsipher) becomes a major love interest for Sookie's brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten). As for the leader of the Hotshot group, Calvin (Gregory Sporleder), "I think our take on Calvin is a little different than the one in the book."Vampire Rights and Wrongs: Vampire politics will be part of the storyline this season with a closer look at the Vampire Rights Amendment to the Constitution the challenges around it. The Vampire King of Mississippi: Alan states that this year we will meet the Vampire King of Mississippi, Russell Edgington (Denis O'Hare) who will be one of the baddest new regular. Sharing his storyline will be his boyfriend of 700 years Talbot (Theo Alexander) who as Alan state, have a stable relationship but it is not a model relationship. Also alot of action this season will take place in Mississippi.
"He's definitely got his reasons for doing things, and I don't think he thinks what he's doing is wrong."Tara's Scary Vamp Boyfriend: Another baddie this season will be vampire Franklin Mott (James Frain) who gets under Tara Thornton's (Rutina Wesley) psyche, which as Alan describes as personal, terrifying and hot. The relationship is not classified as a happy one nor a functional one, beyond that Alan would not elaborate. Lafayette's Heart: Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis) will have his own storyline revolving around his mother, Ruby Jean Reynolds (Alfre Woodard), and his new love interest Jesus (Kevin Alejandro). Alan states that Jesus may be perhaps the first person who really tries to make "a serious pitch for Lafayette's heart" and the difficulty that Lafayette has with it. The Missing Bill: Alan states we find out right away who kidnapped Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), where he is being held and that he returns back to Bon Temps around the middle of the season. What happens between Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Bill since we were left off with Sookie about to accept Bill's marriage proposal before he was kidnapped at the end of season two? Alan teases us by stating,
"I would say their love is very real. I can't really say whether it is going to last forever, 'cause I don't want to give anything away, but I do think their love is real. I think what they feel for each other is very, very profound."Alan Ball Is Having Fun: Alan believes that the series can last many years based not only on the fact that there is lots of material to take from the book for ideas but because he enjoys working on the show.
"It continues to be fun, which for me is the most important thing. I would rather have fun on a show that nobody cares about than be miserable on a show that is the biggest hit in the world."Comic-Con Rock Stars: Alan expresses his disbelief at the enormous success of the show and the tremendous impact it has on fans. In particular he mentions his experience at Comic-Con last year and how the fans treated the cast and himself as if they were rock stars.
"I never thought the series would be as huge. I didn't really have much experience in the genre world, you know what I mean? I came to it fresh and I thought, 'I think this show will have an audience.' But I've thought that about other things and it didn't really work out that way. I just knew it was a show I would watch, I would be deeply entertained by. I think the amazing growth during the second season in terms of not only the number of viewers, but the passion on the part of the viewers, was really a surprise to me ... a very pleasant one. When we went to Comic-Con last year, when we walked out on stage it was like we were rock stars. ... Well, it was like the cast was rock stars and I was also there," said Ball with a laugh."So with all these little tidbits has it made you even more anxious for the return of season 3 of True Blood on June 13?
