We'll be saying goodbye to at least one character next season on True Blood, executive producer Alan Ball tells TVGuide.com exclusively.

"Somebody is going to bite the dust and it's going to be really good to see them get what they deserve," Ball says.

HBO: True Blood renewed for third season

The only clue the Blood boss would reveal is that "it's a person we'll be happy to see go."

For a backwater burg with only a single watering hole, Bon Temps sure does have a lot of colorful characters passing in and out (well, those that end up making it out). Case in point: Check out the motley crew Alan Ball and Co. are introducing in season 3 (premiering next summer). While Ball teased some of these arrivals in my recent Q&A, there?s nothing like sinking your teeth into the actual casting notices.

* Tommy Mickens is a grungy but handsome man in his early ?20s who just so happens to be Sam Merlotte?s long-lost younger brother. Apparently, at some point he?ll be showing his unadorned backside, which, with Sam?s similar feral tendency towards the ?full moon,? proves that they really must be related after all.

*After his mysterious abduction, Bill finds himself with the latest addition to the True Blood Gallery of Impossibly Attractive Male Vampires (or the TBGIAMV). Talbot, a bitingly (har har) sarcastic vampire with a model?s looks, will appear starting in the second episode as a guide of sorts for the kidnapped vamp.

* More news on the PYT front is the appearance of Jesus Velasquez, an unordinary orderly with a heart to match his good looks.

* In a friendly bit of one-upmanship, Tara gets her very own over-protective vampire buddy. And a ?sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy? one at that. That?s right, four sexys. Eat that, Sookie. The neckbiter, Franklin Mott, is also clearly in the running for TBGIAMV status.

* We?ve had vampires, shape-shifters, and demi-gods, and now the next supernatural spook to waltz through Louisiana is?rednecks?! Well, maybe they aren?t so unearthly, but they can sure pack a punch and we can expect a group of them, led by a guy named Coot (of course), to unleash their mobile home magic on some of our dear characters.

* Jason Stackhouse will find that his notoriously limitless libido has taken a hit, when two NYU girls, Jen and Missy, m?nage ? try to get him into the sack to little avail.

* Yvetta, Fangtasia?s new Czechoslovakian dancer, is tremendously hot and comfortable being in the buff. Oh, and she makes lots of sexy time with Eric. (Don?t shoot the messenger!)

* Tara?s ever-distraught mom turns to the church for comfort (and maybe a little more) in the form of the honorable Reverend Daniels.

Just finished book 3 and it reveals the death which we will see next season and its Lorena Sookie stakes her

I wouldn't entirely trust the books to script. After all, the start of book 2 it was Lafayette who was killed. I was disappointed that they kept him alive and killed the voodoo lady instead.

Alan Ball said in a recent interview if you read the books then the death in Season 3 isn't a surprise

True Blood's team of writers participated in a panel tonight at the Paley Center for Media, and there was a lot of discussion about season 3

-Alan confirms that Alcide will appear beginning in episode 3.03. He has not yet been cast.

-Regarding Bubba, Alan says that he loves the character in the books, but ?because he?s Elvis there?s no way we can do it? on the show.

-Alan Ball isn't a fan of celebrity/stunt casting. He doesn't think Snoop will get his wish to vamp out in season 3

-?I will admit to oftentimes saying, ?Come on, can we just get his [Ryan Kwanten's] shirt off???

-Raelle Tucker reveals a soft spot for Lafayette: ?I am a dirty little slut for Lafayette, even if I?m not his type.?

-Alan acknowledged that the maenad storyline went on for too long

-Alan knows what the fans want: ?Alexander Skarsgard appears without most of his clothes in the very first episode of S3.?

-We find out where Bill is in episode 3.01.

-Fans in the audience are expressing their unhappiness with Evan Rachel Wood as Sophie-Anne. Alan takes it in stride.

-Alan Ball: "There are a big boatload of new characters in S3. Even the Newlins may appear again."

-MaryAnne is really dead as a doornail

-Ah, some reassurance for Team Bill: ?Bill will not be marginalized. Bill and Sookie will have troubles, but Bill and Sookie have a connection that will not die.?

-And something else for Team Eric: Alan confirms that Eric will get amnesia in season 4.

-Alan says we?ll see more Pam and Nan Flanagan (maybe during some trouble at Fangtastia) in season 3, groans at mention of pink spandex.

-And we will be seeing more Godric in flashbacks during S3.

-Season 3 will premiere in June 2010

just read book 4 and I am hyped already for season 4! BTW DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW Witches will be awesome especially Hallow!and the cursed Eric! and were panthers! one thing I do wish we could see is Bubba I know a vampire elvis is pointless but it would be funny!

Sam Trammell is a fountain of speculation and inside info. When we meet werewolves in season three, they'll be disgusting, smelly creatures, like in the books. And Evan Rachel Wood is probably heading for some kind of disaster as retribution for selling all the V. Eric's hold over Sookie will grow next season, but a Bill/Sookie wedding next year isn't out of the question. [Digital Spy]

    • Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
