True Blood Season 3: Who Is Debbie Pelt?

This is part 2 in our 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 Debbie Pelt?

Brit Morgan will star as Debbie Pelt

One of the most obviously troubled figures in the series is Debbie Pelt, a young woman we first meet in Club Dead, the third novel in the Southern Vampire Mysteries on which True Blood is based.

Described in the book as “a tall young woman with gleaming short black hair, athletic build, and a long narrow face,” with a weird, choppy haircut, she is first introduced as a werelynx, then later as a werefox. She may take on another were role in the show, but at least we know that she is a supernatural being.

In addition to being a part of the were community, Debbie is Alcide’s ex-girlfriend and their history is complicated and full of drama, to put it succinctly. It’s an on-again, off-again relationship fraught with drama. In the books, she is briefly engaged to a wereowl but Alcide is never truly out of her life. She is also involved in Bill’s kidnapping, resulting in bad blood between her and Sookie.

In a departure from the books, we know from the casting call that True Blood‘s Debbie Pelt is addicted to V and appears “strung out”. Add that to what we already know is a difficult, stubborn character and sparks are bound to fly.

Brit Morgan has been cast as Debbie Pelt on True Blood.
