True Blood Season 3: Who Is Alcide Herveaux?
Welcome to the first in a series of features about the new characters coming to True Blood in season 3. We'll be taking a look at these new characters using both information from casting calls and from the novels on which the show is based. Beware, spoilers ahead! Who is Alcide Herveaux? [caption id="attachment_4829" align="alignright" width="199" caption="Joe Manganiello will play Alcide Herveaux on True Blood"][/caption] Fans of the Southern Vampire Mysteries, the novels on which True Blood is based, have been hotly anticipating the appearance of Alcide Herveaux almost from the beginning.

It also contains ...
CASTING NEWS: Meet Debbie Pelt
[caption id="attachment_4799" align="alignleft" width="160" caption="Meet Debbie Pelt"][/caption] Once Alcide was cast, a lot of True Blood fans started speculating about who would play his psycho ex, Debbie Pelt. Fairuza Balk? Alyssa Milano? Nope, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the beefed-up role of Debbie Pelt will be played by The Middleman's Brit Morgan. I'm guessing a dye job is in Brit's future, but she has a tough-but-fragile quality that might just be perfect for Debbie Pelt. What do you think?
