There are alway mixed reactions to True Blood pulling far away from Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse books- some time we love it and sometimes...well, not so much.Here is my previous post called " The Women in Eric Northman's life " What do you think about this change ?
From BuddyTV
Eric Northman, played by
Alam, who has been cast on True Blood in a potentially recurring capacity, is perhaps best known for her role on The Bold and the Beautiful as Ava. She will also be appearing in an upcoming episode of Drop Dead Gorgeous and in the movie 39.
Joe Manganiello, best known for playing barkeep Owen on One Tree Hill and Marshall’s law school chum Brad on How I Met Your Mother, has landed season 3’s most important new role: Sookie’s werewolf crush, Alcide Herveaux.
If Alan Ball follows Charlaine Harris’ books, Eric will summon Alcide — described in casting breakdowns as good-looking, rough-around-the-edges, articulate, heroic, and decent — to assist Sookie in her search for Bill.
Still to be cast: Alcide’s on-again, off-again psycho girlfriend Debbie Pelt.
Does that choice make you want to howl at the moon ?
