True Blood is re-airing the latest 3 episodes next Sunday. At the end of the promo, it gives us more of a glimpse into the Season 3 finale on September 12, 2010.

I have some really-truly spoilers that if you read on you will know NOW what some of the results of the cliffhangers of the finale will be. More specifically, you’ll know who lives. I have to tell you, I’m pretty shocked as I’d suspended believe that …if I tell you more you’ll know. So. SPOILER ALERT! (The actors involved (except one) have interviewed that they are coming back but I’m giving you this version which matches theirs.)

I don’t know if like me, you are having mixed feelings about True Blood’s imminent Season 3 ending. Don’t get me wrong, I have no doubt that it will be awesome but this season went by faster than both one and two–it was so jam-packed with new characters and beefed-up parts for some old favourites. It’s just so hard to say goodbye. OK. Now I’m sounding like a sappy love song so let us get to something a bit more hardcore, shall we? Courtesy of E!Online (Please learn how to spell actor Denis O’Hare’s name–let’s pretend you are actual journalists, OK? (Sorry for the mini-rant, readers. I  am fanatical about this type of thing. I expect E! to get it right–it is their paying gig–which I’d be glad to do–hell, I’ll be their proof-reader! )

Joe Manganiello is official for season 4 (check).

Sookie and Alcide (Joe Manganiello, previously confirmed for Season 4)

About Bon Temps’ other new additions—Denis O’Hare, Marshall Allman, Kevin Alejandro and Lauren Bowles? We have the scoop:

Believe it or not….  all of the aforementioned newbies will be back on True Blood for season four…So it looks like all this pretty faces up there survive next Sunday’s “bloody” (per Alexander Skarsgård) season three finale…

From left: Godric's foot (Allan Hyde), Eric, Russell (Denis O'Hare)

Dennis is set to return to the HBO hit next year, according to sources, but don’t expect to see Russell too early in the year. We have it on good authority (Alan Ball’s) that initially witches will reign supreme, but I’m told the plan is for Russell to reappear later in the season.

EDIT/sounds to me like Edgington is somehow driven off or thought to be disposed of. Wonder if the “cement truck scene” spoilers from early in the season has anything to do with it? I’m going to need a plausible explanation how he did not go *poof* in the daylight faster than Godric did with Russell bein’ 3X as old and all.

Lafayette's second to last image of Jesus (Kevin Alejandro)

As for Lafayette’s lover, Jesus (Kevin Alejandro), Nelsan tells me, “We’re partners in crime now, my boy toy, so he will be back.” Adds Kevin with a knowing grin: “I’m hearing rumors about that, too. I’ve never been a part of anything this big before.” (see below)

Happier times for "LaLa" and Jesus (Nelsan Ellis, Kevin Alejandro)

Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) has always been able to see through people--as he does here with Tommy (Marshall Allman)

Sam’s wayward little bro isn’t going anywhere either, although he’s mastered the tease.When asked if he’ll be back, Marshall told me: “Yeah, I am. But I mean, hey! How do you know?! Come on, now! Spoiler alert!”

Tommy Mickens taking off with Sam Merlotte's money

I don’t think we are supposed to forget that at roughly this age Sam did the exact same thing to Maryann (Season 2).

My guess is the shot that Sam takes at Tommy…

Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) taking aim at his brother, Tommy

…is either a warning shot or it misses it’s mark. I don’t know how Tommy could possibly “fly away” (which he has done before) with a load of cash like that. Perhaps Sam will shoot him in the shoulder or arm and keep Tommy “grounded” for awhile.

"Holly" (Lauren Bowles)

And rounding out the ranks as a newly minted series regular (she told us herself after hitting up the Emmys with her sister Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is Lauren, who recently joined the show as resident Wiccan Holly.

Also, in re: Arlene
Q: Are we going to see something happen with Arlene’s baby situation before the end of the season on True Blood?
A: As a matter of fact, Mrs. Carrie Preston assures us we will…well, kinda. “Arlene is still very conflicted. But there’s going to be a resolution to the conflict,” she says, “But it’s also going to be open-ended.” Either she’s speaking in tongues or my Emmy (lack of sleep and too much ginger ale) hangover is worse than I thought. Does that make any sense to anyone? Carrie’s equally wonderful hubby Michael Emerson weighed in on the baby drama, saying, “I mean, we have to see the baby,” to which she responded, “If there is a baby…” Now I’m really stumped. She’s not pulling a Terri Schuester is she? Or preggo with some sort of supernatural somethin’? The mind boggles.

In re: the “new” Sam
Q: I cannot believe the way Sam’s acting on True Blood. Tell me it isn’t permanent, please!
A:…Sam Trammell (says) Sam’s not-so-pleasant adventures are just beginning and will extend far into True Blood’s fourth season. “I know one thing that’s going to happen with Sam [next year], which is taking it to a new level. It’s very cool.” The gang doesn’t even start shooting until November…

True Blood 3×11: Hoyt’s Choice

sibowittz2 | August 31, 2010
My second favourite scene of  True Blood Episode 11, “Fresh Blood.”
In the alone time Jessica and Hoyt share at Bill’s house after she saves him from Tommy in his pit bull form by ripping open her vein and feeding him, Hoyt listens as Jessica explains the realities of her true nature. Although momentarily taken aback by her confessing that she accidentally drained and killed a trucker, Hoyt accepts that Jessica simply cannot stomach Tru Blood and can only feed on humans. Without hesitation but with slight trepidation Hoyt offers his own blood to Jessica.

This was my favourite scene from True Blood’s episode 11, “Fresh Blood.”

Sookie’s curiosity and worry about Eric saying his final goodbyes to her compels her to go to Fangtasia where inspired by Pam to “use her” (Sookie) in trying to defeat Russell Edgington, Eric chains Sookie in his dungeon whilst he fetches Russell in order to offer Edgington the opportunity he cannot turn down–to be able to “walk in the light.”

Bill senses Sookie’s distress and storms into Fangtasia, finding Pam alone. He demands to see Sookie, Pam tries to stall him, mostly by belittling his affections for Sookie, calling him an “infatuated tween.” Bill loses patience after reminding Pam that he is older and stronger and will defeat her if she attempts to thwart him any longer. A fight ensues. Meanwhile in the dungeon, Sookie “hears” the voice of a woman of a foreign language. She’s taken aback that Yvetta has come to rescue her. Spurned by Eric, Yvetta is about to take her leave of Fangtasia. With Sookie unshackled, the two women rush upstairs as the sounds of fierce struggling continue.

Sookie and Yvetta discover Pam astride Bill, squirting what turns out to be silver water in his eyes which blinds him temporarily. Sookie, who had the foresight to grab one of the dungeon’s selection of silver chains before ascending the stairs comes up behind and casts the thick chain around Pam’s neck and pulls tightly, effectively defeating her.

Later, Ginger is shown freeing Pam from the additional chain(s) that Yvetta secured Pam with–chains bound very tightly and that dug deeply into Pam’s cold flesh.

After telephoning Eric to apprise him of what occurred, briefly interrupting his tête-à-tête with Russell, Pam is finally fully unbound by the feckless, over-glamoured Ginger. She inquires of Pam if there’s anything she can get her to make her feel better. Pam responds with “a drink” as she grabs hold of Ginger and sinks her fangs into the screaming waitress.
