CASTING NEWS: It’s Faery Triplet Time on True Blood! (SPOILERS)

Well they sure kept this quiet! We’ve been speculating about the possibility of more faeries on True Blood season 5. We wondered if recasting Claude meant that we’d be revisiting Sookie’s faery godmother storyline, even though Claudine was killed last season. And now Deadline confirms our suspicions: get ready to meet Claudette!

Bookies know that Claudette is a triplet, along with Claude and Claudine, but she was killed before we met Sookie in the first novel. (She appears in the short story “Fairy Dust” in [easyazon-link asin=”0441011977″]Powers of Detection: Stories of Mystery and Fantasy[/easyazon-link].) According to Deadline, Camilla Luddington will play Claudette on True Blood this season, and it sounds like she may be taking over Claudine’s role. Per the site, Claudette will give Sookie “insight into what it means to be a faerie.”

What do you think about this news? Are you stoked about the possibility of seeing the Claudine we loved from the novels, reborn as Claudette?
