I'm sort of surprised that the speculation about True Blood - Season One cast member Nelsan Ellis continues. I've previously explained why, unless Alan Ball did something truly bizarre, Lafayette's death is a done deal. However speculation seems to be what E! does best so here's what their latest (and hopefully last) say on the matter is:
Q: What can you tell us about True Blood? I'm so excited for season two!
We just chatted up True Blood star Stephen Moyer and asked him about the future of Nelsan Ellis' brilliant Lafayette, and Moyer said, "Lafayette, I can't talk about. Nelsan is an amazing dude, and, uh, I hope he does come back...but I, you know...who knows." There's no decisive statement in there, but "I hope he does come back" seems to suggest that Lafayette's gone somewhere, and for that matter, Nelsan's Lafayette also does not appear in any of the season two promo photos, the press releases or the books afterDead Until Dark. Long story short, we're starting to feel pretty naive for having believed/hoped the show was just toying with us and would find a way to keep Lafayette around for season two and beyond. We are going to need a lot of naked vampires to make up for this disaster. Post your Lafayette lamentations in the comments, and don't forget to check back soon for more from Stephen Moyer about True Blood Season Two.
Q: Do you have any new True Blood news?
Lesbians! You heard about the lesbians, right? Vampire queen Sophie-Anne and Sookie's cousin Hadley Hale end up sucking face.
