Michelle Forbes Talks Season 2

HMonthly caught up with Michelle Forbes (Maryann) recently to discuss several projects, including True Blood, In Treatment, and Durham County. Here’s what she had to say about working on True Blood:

h: Well, I can’t wait. And then switching gears to True Blood, what’s that been like to be a part of?

MF: It’s been fantastic, it’s been a ton of fun for all of us, and it’s just really a great and creative fun show to work on.

h: Why do you think it has resonated with viewers?

MF: I think it’s for many different reasons…If I’m to step back and really look at it on a broader objective scale, I would say that it’s really fun… it’s sexy and saucy, but it’s also a total escape from this national depression that we’re all in with the economy, and people being out of work. I think there’s a lightness to it and a sauciness to it where for just a moment we can forget our problems and have a whopping good time in Louisiana. It’s a world that is completely unique and outside of what we’ve known before.

h: And how do you feel about the second season?

MF: It really blows open in the second season, it opens up quite a bit; the town sort of opens up…there are some very, very interesting storylines going on, and it’s very funny.
