SPOILER ALERT!
Finally, it looks like Alan Ball is going to cast Alcide’s ex-girlfriend Debbie Pelt and there are some additional hints at Sam and Ryan’s new love interests in Season 3. We wonder who the “familiar face” might be that Sam encounters in the Arkansas motel room? Could Daphne make a return in Season 3? What love interests are in store for Sam and Jason? We sure don’t know, but it’s fun to speculate.
True Blood creator Alan Ball describes Debbie Pelt as “a badass bitch you do not want to get on the wrong side of. She is not going to like Sookie.” Debbie will appear in the third episode of Season 3, and since we know they are now working on episode 2, we should hear who gets the part fairly soon.
It also sounds like they’ll be plenty of sex in the season premiere, with Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) ended up in a backwoods Arkansas motel room with a familiar face. “It should be curious and confusing to viewers,” teases Trammell. But Ryan Kwanten says his character, Jason Stackhouse, ups Sam by one. “My character wakes up in the first episode with two women beside him,” Ryan boasts. The actor’s also looking forward to seeing Jason enjoy a more meaningful romance. “He will find love in the werewolf world, and love is a pretty unknown concept for him.”
Alfre Woodard joins the series as Ruby Jean Reynolds, mother to Lafayette and aunt to Tara. Alfre describes her character as “nuts. She’s not going to be a person that the audience loves. She’s not very accepting of Lafayette, which is fun to play.”
Ohh, lovely to get some more tidbits. Can’t wait to see who is cast as Debbie. Looks like the premiere will be hot and heated. WooHoo! Thanks, Lynn, for posting.

I was thinking that too (TT). Maybe it’s grief sex between Tara and Sam. But maybe it is Daphne. Ashley Jones has been doing a lot of promotion for TB lately. Although, Michelle Forbes has been too, and we know she’s not coming back. Don’t think it’s Sookie. Every one else Sam has been with is either dead or we don’t know about. lol
Stop teasing us True Blood! lol

Color me confused. I was under the impression Daphne was also dead, seeing as how she had her heart cut out and served in a little souffle, with her body left in the freezer at Merlotte’s. Unless they do it as a sort of memory – dream – sequence kind of deal. That could also work for MaryAnne as well.
Selle might be onto something… Sam could have a mental connection to Bill that would work for a dream sequence. That would be confusing and not something most viewers would be anticipating.

The only way that it would confuse me is if it were Sookie. Therefore, I think it’s her. But that would be so wrong and I would hate her, for that. Oh, and I would feel so sorry for Bill. But, then I’d say that whatever Bill does, after that, he’s justified.

For Sam, I’m thinking it’s Tara. I’m sure Daphne is dead dead and not returning.
As for Sam/Sookie, I’m hoping AB is saving that for the end game, but sadly Team Sam seems to be me along with four other people. :(
So unless Daphne has a twin sister or Sookie gets over poor Bill, I’m saying it’s Tara.
[Reply]
I should probably add that I’m curious to see why Tara would go to Arkansas. Is she following Sam, and if she is, is that hope for a long-term relationship between them? Tara is my second choice for the shifter, and she’d be my first if she was more stable.
With Sookie searching for Bill, and Tara and Sam in Arkansas, who’s running Merlotte’s? Arlene?

Oh…this sounds fun. I HATE Debbie Pelt, but can’t wait to see who they cast for her. The show needs one of those “villians that you LOVE to hate”. Can’t wait til season 3!
[Reply]
Bring on the BI. I also can not wait to see who will play Debbie. Oh my, it is a bad ass show this season. Is it June yet????????
[Reply]
I wonder if it will be a dream sequence and Sam will have a sexy dream of him and Bill. Seriously, because remember that the blood makes the recipient feel sexually attracted to the vampire donor. Bill told Sook that in S2 after she had sucked the bullets out of Eric’s body.
I don’t see how it could be Tara because didn’t we already see spoilers that she’ll be in Bon Temps at this time??

Waaaaaa, I never thought of that. I don’t care who Bill is with, so long as I get to see him in his birthday suit.

Selle, that would be funny Sam dreaming about Bill *yummy*, LOL and isn’t Tara supposed to be with Franklin Mott? Well I guess she can have Sam first by somehow following him and then moving on. Only time will tell
[Reply]
I bet Selle is right. Tara wouldn’t be “confusing” to viewers, and Alan Ball IRL is a gay-rights advocate so a homoerotic scene would be something he’d do…
If it is a Sam/Bill dream, I want to see Sam’s reaction. And if he tells Lafayette, we’ll never hear the end of it…

Wait, it could be Sam and Lafayette.

I wonder if they are going to break down the were world? Of is everyone going to be a wolf, instead of lynx, fox ….
[Reply]
AB please consider Selma Blair for Debbie Pelt. She’d be perfect.
[Reply]
I just wish they stuck to the books. Jason actually becomes a were-panther so I hope thats how it stays. Debbie is a were-fox so we will see how they play that one out.
[Reply]
I do NOT want AB to stick to the books (I’ve read them all). I hope I am not putting too much trust in him to intuit what fans want to see happen (speaking for myself). For better or worse, there has to be conflict, suspense, shock, sadness, violence, but ultimately a gratifying resolution and, of course, there must be some love. PUHLEEZE, Alan. At the end of the day, it really is a relationship drama with a bunch of other crazy stuff in the mix, which makes it so damn addicting.

Why not Christina Ricci for Debbie Pelt. that will be a war of Titans: Christina vs Anna, *fun*

“a badass bitch you do not want to get on the wrong side of. She is not going to like Sookie.” = Christina Ricci, not doubt!
