Carrie Preston Talks 'True Blood'
She may be a barmaid waiting tables at Merlotte's, but actress Carrie Preston
Playing the character Arlene Fowler was a crazy experience for Carrie Preston
Playing the character Arlene Fowler was a crazy experience for Carrie Preston
"It's so interesting because they are really departing from the books right now," Preston revealed. "I mean they're sort of keeping the main kind of theme of the second book, but they've already just taken a lot of liberties. They spent the first season really establishing the characters and now they've added all these new characters, and it's getting really wild in there."
Now that the second season is nearing, it was pointed out by her co-star, Alexander Skarsgard
About her character, Arlene, Preston says she is nothing like the person she plays. However, she admits that it was easy to transform herself for her. "I mean I'm not anything like Arlene. Nothing. It all has to be created, which is really fun. I go in the makeup trailer and an hour and a half later, I'm a completely different person."
"She's street smart. You know what I mean?" Preston continued. "Like she's a single mother and she's a survivor. She speaks her mind, and I don't know... I grew up with women like that so I just wanted to honor those women. Also it's a comedic role and I really always feel in my element when I'm doing comedy."
As for the appeal of True Blood, the actress confessed that she'd watch the show even if she wasn't working on the set. "I've always sort of been into sci-fi kind of stuff, so I like it. It's a show I would have watched even if I wasn't on it."

Dead and Gone Review from our friend the SciFi Guy !
Yeah, Doug ( the ScifiGuy)
You all met him recently on my radio show, what a smart, interesting thoughtful guy!
Dead and Gone is the ninth Sookie Stackhouse mystery and by far the darkest story yet. As the series has matured Sookie has become more immersed in the supe world and in fact gravitated to the centre of it in her community of Bon Temps, Louisiana. On her journey, Sookie has grown from a young woman with limited life experience and innocence tempered by her telepathic awareness of human nature, to a resistant member of the harsher supernatural community, a victim of emotional and physical violence, but also transformed and strengthened by it. But not without a personal cost as reflected in this dialogue between Jason and Sookie midway through the book over his betrayal of Sookie and Calvin about Crystal’s infidelity –

Sookie Stackhouse proves she's not Dead and Gone
From Houston Chronicle
For Sookie Stackhouse fans, it’s been a long year. Sure, September brought our Southern-fried heroine to the small screen in HBO’s True Blood. But even with the unexpected twists of the show, that plot was a little 2001 for anybody who’s been devouring Charlaine Harris’ book series since its inception.
A year after the last installment of the Southern Vampire Series, book number nine, Dead and Gone, hit bookstores this month. June 14, HBO turns on season two of True Blood with a set of characters that may turn out to be even more of a departure from Harris’s creation.
Luckily, Dead and Gone deposits book readers in familiar territory.
The plot takes up where we left our telepathic barmaid: In a world of supernatural creatures that mingle among the regular Wal-Mart shoppers of Bon Temps, the north Louisiana town where Sookie lives.
The witches are still camped out in Sookie’s house, the fairies remain mysterious, and the hunky vampires can’t seem to keep their fangs off her.
As Dead and Gone opens, werewolves have decided to follow the vampires’ lead and announce their presence to the human world. Alternative lifestyles, it seems, cannot bear to stay underground when there are supernatural reality TV shows to develop.
“Coming out” creates some trouble in Bon Temps, and the regular world seems interested in Sookie’s special talents. All this free-to-be-you-and-me attitude leaves only the fairies to wreak havoc under the radar.
Sookie must uncover the threats, beat back the danger and find love, perhaps in all the wrong places.
Of course, that is why we come back to the series year after year: To root for Sookie. She’s the oddball who lurks in us all.
To the regular world she is chubby, weird and underemployed. In Harris’ fantasy world, Sookie is an irresistible princess. And as Sookie and every modern princess with a head on her shoulders knows, only she can get the job done right, friends and family disappoint as often as they deliver, and sometimes the prince turns out to be a frog.
Or a vampire.
Tara Dooley is a pop culture writer at the Chronicle.

it is thought this is what is said
Sookie: "I love you"
Eric: "I only ask you for permission out of respect"
Sookie: "Make her go away for just a little longer"
Eric: "If I want her, I can take her"
Sookie: "Although there's darkness in you..."
Eric: "We made a deal, your human and I"
Eric: "You should remember that I am your sheriff"
Sookie: "That's not protecting me, that's lying to me. How am I suppose to ever trust you?"
