True Blood Season 4 Jessica and Hoyt: 'The honeymoon's over.' (Alan Ball)
Q: Will Denis O'Hare be back on the new season True Blood?
A: It sure sound(ed) like it because sources (say) that there will be a big storyline in which we see vampire attacks on YouTube—which is classic Russell Edgington, no?
However, it turns out it's not Russell, but rather an underground filmmaker who is capturing various vamps on video and then posting on YouTube for the world to see. Needless to say, this is not going to improve relations between the bloodsuckers and conservatives of the True Blood world.
As for Denis, ... he is expected back at some point but so far no 'concrete plans', i.e. contract, in place. Maybe another season or two. (Or never--geez what a lame-o 'news' item! CM)
Q: More True Blood spoilers, please!
A: In an early episode, Pam is going to get a "hot and stupid" sack o' meat to chew on who actually enjoys being bitten. And Tommy will get an intriguing offer from a prospector. Producers are also casting a Spanish-speaking badass chiquita who'll be a recurring role in episodes two through six.
True Blood's season 4 episode 3, entitled 'If You Love Me, Why Am I Dyin’? includes seven guest roles. Some of these were already mentioned in E! Online’s spoiler chat (see link just a few lines above). Episode 3 begins filming next week.
Character descriptions:
Antonia: a recurring role that runs episode 2 through episode 6. Age is anywhere 'from 20 to 40," fluent Spanish, and is “fierce” in nature. Kevin Alejandro, who as 'Jesus' is moving to featured status in s4 will probably need a couple of family members...
A 'generic' vampire, a pudgy young woman in her 20s, and a camera operator are all being cast as part of an 'underground You Tube video' that depicts the vampire feeding on the woman.
Camera operator: Also in his 20s and is on a mission to warn America about vampires by showing their true colors. It appears that he entraps the vampires by filming them, leaving the vamp desperate to avoid exposure.
Pam will enjoy snacking on a fangbanger, who definitely enjoys being snacked on and is disappointed when she takes off.
Nan Flanagan will debate a a bow tie clad 'smug conservative f*ck' .
Tommy encounters Paul McClatchy, a “prospector” who works for an energy company and makes Tommy an intriguing offer.

... Sam Trammell gave details about 'what's going to happen (to his character, early) in the new season.'
"We've been [shooting] for about two weeks. We've gotten two scripts and it's really cool. I'm really psyched about it.... And it's different—some things have happened that have changed things, so I think the viewers will be excited. Alan [Ball] likes to keep everybody on their toes.
*Sam Trammell on True Blood's upcoming Season 4*:
"It's always fun just getting the scripts and reading them, it's like...I was going to say crack cocaine but I've never had it!"

Q: True Blood S4 details?
Sookie's (Anna Paquin) farmhouse has been a shambles ever since Maryann (season 2) built meat sculptures in the front yard and had orgies in the back and front yards, as well as 'repainting' Sookie's murdered grandma's walls with mud (only--I hope!)...
'Insiders say they're finally repainting the house and repairing all the damage...ounds like Sookie might be settling back into domestic bliss?'*
(*From the Sookie Stackhouse books, which the show has split off from, Sookie's kitchen was set deliberately afire; after surviving that (as Sookie always does--survives for another novel) with some time going by,) Sook decides to give the old place a sprucing up. - CLM

Christina Moore, Neil Hopkins and Chris Butler have been cast in the fourth season of True Blood, TVGuide.com confirms.
Moore (MADtv, 90210) has been cast as a Texas housewife with special abilities, a recurring role. She will film her part on the HBO series while HawthoRNe,the TNT drama in which she is a regular, is on hiatus.
Both Hopkins (LOST, Skyline) and Butler (The Good Wife) will appear in multi-episode arcs.
Hopkins will play Claude, brother to Claudine, the queen of the fairies. Butler will play Emory, a conservative shapeshifter.
Intriguing screen cap photo to discuss (click to enlarge):

Here Claudine beckons Sookie. Near her is a shirtless blond man, similar to other faeires we've seen sort of milling about in the Sookie-Claudine scenes of season 3. Is that the newly-cast Neil Hopkins? He bears a resemblance. Book readers will recall Claude and Claudine were two-thirds of triplet siblings – and that Claude was described in the books as dark-haired, like his sisters. (Claude-from-the-books was also described as hating humans, gay and a popular male-stripper.)
True Blood is re-airing the latest 3 episodes next Sunday. At the end of the promo, it gives us more of a glimpse into the Season 3 finale on September 12, 2010.
I have some really-truly spoilers that if you read on you will know NOW what some of the results of the cliffhangers of the finale will be. More specifically, you'll know who lives.
I have to tell you, I'm pretty shocked. SPOILER ALERT!
(The actors involved (except one) have interviewed that they are coming back but I'm giving you this version which matches theirs.)
I don't know if like me, you are having mixed feelings about True Blood's imminent Season 3 ending. Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that it will be awesome but this season went by faster than both one and two--it was so jam-packed with new characters and beefed-up parts for some old favourites. It's just so hard to say goodbye. OK. Now I'm sounding like a sappy love song so let us get to something a bit more hardcore, shall we?

Joe Manganiello is official for season 4 (check).
Sookie and Alcide (Joe Manganiello, previously confirmed for Season 4)
Update 1.04.11/Denis O' Hare had not been signed for True Blood season 4, which is about one-third done filming going into the four episode. According to E! he proably won't be back for a season or 2!
About Bon Temps' other new additions—Denis O'Hare, Marshall Allman, Kevin Alejandro and Lauren Bowles? We have the scoop: Believe it or not.... all of the aforementioned newbies will be back on True Blood for season four...So it looks like all this pretty faces up there survive next Sunday's "bloody" (per Alexander Skarsgård) season three finale...
From left: Godric's foot (Allan Hyde), Eric, Russell (Denis O'Hare)
Denis is set to return to the HBO hit next year, according to sources, but don't expect to see Russell too early in the year. We have it on good authority (Alan Ball's) that initially witches will reign supreme, but I'm told the plan is for Russell to reappear later in the season.
Sounds to me like Edgington is somehow driven off or thought to be disposed of. Wonder if the "cement truck scene" spoilers from early in the season has anything to do with it? I'm going to need a plausible explanation how he did not go *poof* in the daylight faster than Godric did with Russell bein' 3X as old and all. Lafayette's second to last image of Jesus (Kevin Alejandro)
As for Lafayette's lover, Jesus (Kevin Alejandro), Nelsan says, "We're partners in crime now, my boy toy, so he will be back." Adds Kevin with a knowing grin: "I'm hearing rumors about that, too. I've never been a part of anything this big before." (see below) Happier times for "LaLa" and Jesus (Nelsan Ellis, Kevin Alejandro)
Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) has always been able to see through people--as he does here with Tommy (Marshall Allman)
Sam's wayward little bro isn't going anywhere either, although he's mastered the tease. When asked if he'll be back, Marshall told me: "Yeah, I am. But I mean, hey! How do you know?! Come on, now! Spoiler alert!"
Tommy Mickens taking off with Sam Merlotte's money:
I don't think we are supposed to forget that at roughly this age Sam did the exact same thing to Maryann (Season 2). My guess is the shot that Sam takes at Tommy is either a warning shot or it misses it's mark. I don't know how Tommy could possibly "fly away" (which he has done before) with a load of cash like that. Perhaps Sam will shoot him in the shoulder or arm and keep Tommy "grounded" for awhile.

'Holly' (Lauren Bowles)
And rounding out the ranks as a newly-minted series regular (she told us herself after hitting up the Emmys with her sister Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is Lauren Bowles, who recently joined the show as resident Wiccan Holly.
Also, in re: Arlene Q: Are we going to see something happen with Arlene's baby situation before the end of the season on True Blood?
A: As a matter of fact, Mrs. Carrie Preston assures us we will…well, kinda. "Arlene is still very conflicted. But there's going to be a resolution to the conflict," she says, "But it's also going to be open-ended." Either she's speaking in tongues or my Emmy (lack of sleep and too much ginger ale) hangover is worse than I thought. Does that make any sense to anyone? Carrie's equally wonderful hubby Michael Emerson weighed in on the baby drama, saying, "I mean, we have to see the baby," to which she responded, "If there is a baby…" Now I'm really stumped. She's not pulling a Terri Schuester is she? Or preggo with some sort of supernatural somethin'? The mind boggles.
In re: the "new" Sam Q: I cannot believe the way Sam's acting on True Blood. Tell me it isn't permanent, please! A:...Sam Trammell (says) Sam's not-so-pleasant adventures are just beginning and will extend far into True Blood's fourth season. "I know one thing that's going to happen with Sam [next year], which is taking it to a new level. It's very cool." The gang doesn't even start shooting until November... Read more: Kristen
