True Blood: Season 3 Spoilers
True blood may have wrapped up its second season but it left us with enough questions to ponder on until the show returns for season 3. Who took Bill? What is Sookie? Will Sam finally meet his real parents? What will happen to Jessica and Hoyt? We won’t know for sure until True Blood returns next fall. It’s going to be a long wait, nine excruciating months to be exact but, luckily, I’ve stumbled upon some spoilers to pass the time.
Take note, however, that some of these spoilers are not confirmed by the network so read at your own risk.
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,” Ball explained. 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 Entertainment Weekly
there’s a reason why and assures fans that Eric will be a prominent character in season 3.
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 told Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello 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 TV Squad, “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.
