Go Ask Dallas: Will Steve & Sarah Newlin return in True Blood Season 3?

Dallas

The actor who plays Steve Newlin is saying we'll see he and Sarah again in True Blood. I remember him being with the guy that attacks Sookie in Club Dead but do we ever see or hear from the Newlin's again after that in the books ?

Thanks, TBFAN

Hey Fan

We meet the Newlin's in bk 2 'Living Dead in Dallas' and he is the one who is in 'Club Dead' when Sookie is staked.

We don't see them again but Sookie does think of them and the Fellowship ( see quotes below). The threat and influence of the Fellowship of the Sun does reemerge in the later books but we have yet to see the Newlin's again. I bet we will !

Mike " Steve Newlin" McMillian did recently say to MTV

"I've been told he'll be back," actor Mike McMillian, who plays Reverend Steve, told MTV News of his character.

Though the actor doesn't know when he and costar Anna Camp will return, he has a few theories about how things might go down. This kind of fits the Steve ibn Club Dead storyline.


Bk 3 Club Dead

Somehow, in the melee, my eyes met those of the taller man, and we recognized each other. He was G. Steve Newlin, former leader of the Brotherhood of the Sun, a militant anti-vampire organization whose Dallas branch had more or less bit the dust after I'd paid it a visit. He was going to tell them who I was, I just knew it, but I had to pay attention to what the man with the stake was doing. I was staggering around on my heels, trying to keep my feet, when the assassin finally had a stroke of brilliance and transferred the stake from his pinned right hand to his free left. With a final punch to my back, Steve Newlin dashed for the exit, and I caught a flash of creatures bounding in pursuit. I heard lots of yowling and tweeting, and then the black-haired man threw back his left arm and plunged the stake into my waist on my right side


Book 5 Dead as a Doornail
Actually, the Fellowship had quite a bit against me. I'd been responsible for their huge Dallas church being raided and one of their main leaders going underground. The papers had been full of what the police had found in the Fellowship building in Texas. Arriving to find the members dashing in turmoil around their building, claiming vampires had attacked them, the police entered the building to search it and found a basement torture chamber, illegal arms adapted to shoot wooden stakes into vampires, and a corpse. The police failed to see a single vampire. Steve and Sarah Newlin, the leaders of the Fellowship church in Dallas, had been missing since that night. I'd seen Steve Newlin since then. He'd been at Club Dead in Jackson.
He and one of his cronies had been preparing to stake a vampire in the club when I'd prevented them. Newlin had escaped; his buddy hadn't. It appeared that the Newlins' followers had tracked me down. I hadn't foreseen such a thing, but then, I'd never foreseen anything that had happened to me in the past year. When Bill had been learning how to use his computer, he'd told me that with a little knowledge and money, anyone could be found through a computer.

Maybe the Fellowship had hired private detectives, like the couple who had been in my house yesterday. Maybe Jack and Lily Leeds had just been pretending to be hired by the Pelt family? Maybe the Newlins were their real employers? They hadn't struck me as politicized people, but the power of the color green is universal.

Bk 6 Definitely Dead
But one of Arlene's customers yelled for her, and she was definitely glad to walk away. My eyes met Sam's, and we looked equally troubled. The Fellowship of the Sun was an antivampire,antitolerance organization, and its influence was spreading. Some of the Fellowship enclaves were not militant, but many of them preached hatred and fear in its most extreme form. If the Fellowship had asecret underground hit list, I was surely on it. The Fellowship founders, Steve and Sarah Newlin, had been driven out of their most lucrative church in Dallas because I'd interfered with their plans. I'd survived a couple of assassination attempts since then, but there was always the chance the Fellowship would track me down and ambush me. They'd seen me in Dallas, they'd seen me in Jackson, and sooner or later they'd figure out who I was and where I lived.I had plenty to worry about.

Do True Blood's Steve and Sarah Newlin seem like Joel and Victoria Osteen?

How soon before we find out who took Bill ?

From TV Guide
How soon before we find out who took Bill on True Blood? — Dyan
MICKEY:
"We will discover who has Bill right off the bat in Season 3, but it's going to take the people on the show a little bit longer to find out," executive producer Alan Ball tells us. Sookie will even consider the possibility that he left of his own volition. "It's not easy for her," Ball says. "She feels really bad because she's not sure whether he just left because he was upset because she didn't say yes right off the bat. But in her heart she believes he was taken and she doesn't know who took him. She's going to fight to find him."

Having a Ball


From SX

True Blood is one of the most gay inclusive shows currently on television. Not surprising, given that its creator, Alan Ball, is an out and proud gay man.

Based on the ‘Sookie Stackhouse’ books by American novelist Charlaine Harris, writer/producer Alan Ball’s True Blood is one of the most compelling and entertaining takes on the vampire legend around. But, as he tells MCV, the television program would never have been made had he not accidentally stumbled upon the first book in Harris’s series.

“It was a total impulse buy for me, this book, and I started reading it and I could not put it down. It was like crack! It was like I was addicted to it. And somewhere around book three or four [in the series] I thought, this is so not the sort of stuff I usually read but I love this world and these characters, and I think this would make a great TV show.”

The Halloween Costume Inspiration Board: Maryann Forrester From “True Blood”

from The Frisky blog

Didn’t you just love to hate Maryann Forrester in season two of “True Blood”? Author Charlaine Harris has one helluva imagination, but it was creator/executive producer Alan Ball who brought Maryann to life. Even though she was a rather annoying villain (surprisingly, though, she was less annoying than Sookie Stackhouse), none of this season would have been possible without Maryann’s maenad craziness. So why not celebrate “He who comes” by dressing like his bride for Halloween? Just remember to periodically raise your arms and quiver? How to get the look, after the jump!

'True Blood' News! Mike McMillian (A.K.A. Rev. Steve Newlin) Says His Character Will Be Back

From MTV

A series centered around sexy, blood-loving vampires is bound to have an ample body count, but the gallons of bloodshed in the sophomore season of "True Blood" could have made even a surgeon queazy. Some deaths were for the better (Michelle Forbes' maenad Maryann) while others left us weepy (Mehcad Brooks' Eggs and Allan Hyde's Godric). But two faces we haven't seen the last of are the Fellowship of the Sun's conniving first couple Steve and Sarah Newlin.

"I've been told he'll be back," actor Mike McMillian, who plays Reverend Steve, told MTV News of his character.

Though the actor doesn't know when he and costar Anna Camp (did you catch her cameo in the "The Office" wedding?) will return, he has a few theories about how things might go down.

"I think like any good villain he's going to go away and lick his wounds for a while. But I think he suffered major humiliation toward the end of season two, and now I would imagine the Stackhouses are even higher on his list. If it was personal before with his father being killed, then it's really personal now with the Stackhouses humiliating him."

"True Blood" writers take note: Mike even has a suggestion for the timing of he and Anna's return. "Hopefully, it'll happen at a time when the audience is least expecting it," Mike said. "That's always the best time to bring them back—when something horrible is already going on for our hero, and then they gotta deal with these a--holes too."

What's Really Going on With All These Vampires?


From Esquire

Forget everything you've read
about vampires so far. The current bloodsucking trend, achieving maximum ferocity in November with the release of the sequel to Twilight, isn't about outsiders or immigrants or religion or even AIDS, as critics and bloggers have argued ad nauseam these past few months. There's a much better, simpler, more obvious explanation: Vampires have overwhelmed pop culture because young straight women want to have sex with gay men. Not all young straight women, of course, but many, if not most, of them. Neil Gaiman, sci-fi novelist and geek grandmaster, found out just how many during the shitstorm of pique that covered him from head to toe this past summer after he suggested in an interview that the vampire craze had run its course and should disappear for another twenty to twenty-five years. (Twilight fans took to Twitter in protest.) A foolish hope. The craving for vampire fiction is not a matter of taste but of urges; one does not read or watch it so much as inject it through the eyes, and like any epidemic, it's symptomatic of something much larger: a quiet but profound sexual revolution and a new acceptance of freakiness in mainstream American life.

'I Love - True Blood !' Start them young ....

Make This Happen, True Blood!!!

and of course, Perez has picked up on this ..

Right now, our head is filled with sweet, HAWT images of True Blood vamps Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgård together…in bed!!!

And guess what?! We're not the only ones. Stephen is TOTALLY game!!!

Yes!

Stephen was recently asked about his delish Swedish costar and how he felt about working with him. This is what he said:

“Alex is a good friend of mine and a fantastic actor and I love working with Alex and I don’t get to do it as much as I would love to…You never know — whether they’ll stick Eric and Bill in bed together, I don’t know. But here’s hoping.”

Hoping and wishing and praying and dreaming!!!

Do it! Do it! Do it!

Who wouldn't want to see this happen?

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer Inject True Blood into Open House


From Dread Central

Fans of HBO's "True Blood" are as rabid as they are because -- pardon the pun -- the show offers so very much to sink the old teeth into. Especially the relationship between Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Sookie (Anna Paquin), who incidentally are engaged to be married in real life. As if the couple couldn't get enough of each other already, it appears that they plan to share the screen once again in an upcoming thriller called Open House.

According to IMDB this new film directed by Andrew Paquin (brother of Anna) and starring Moyer and Paquin along with Tricia Helfer, Rachel Blanchard, Brian Geraghty, Jessica Collins, Larry Sullivan, Gabriel Olds, Gerald Downey and Mia Riverton, tells the tale of a wealthy couple in a strained marriage that hosts an open house in order to sell their palatial home. They are horrified to find out days later that one potential buyer never left their home.

Anna Paquin swaps her bonnet for kinky vampire sex

From Sydney Morning Herald

ANNA PAQUIN was nine years old when she first became famous for her role as Flora in The Piano, and 11 as she stood smiling and gasping in silence for a full 20 seconds at the podium to receive her Oscar for it.

In True Blood, the new HBO hit (seen here on Showcase), Paquin, now 27, has morphed into the telepathic barmaid Sookie Stackhouse. She runs around in tiny shorts and has bleached blonde hair and a lot of steamy sex with a vampire named Bill.

The first episode sets out to shock, featuring a couple getting amorous strung from a meat hook while watching vampire sex on video. But it has been a huge success in America, winning Paquin a 2009 Golden Globe for best actress in a television drama. It is now HBO's second most popular series, after The Sopranos. To add to the mix, and to the delight of the British tabloids, in August Paquin got engaged in real life to her vampire lover, the English actor Stephen Moyer. He is 40, she is 27, and they divide their time between his house near Hampstead and hers in Los Angeles.
