Friday Five: Characters That Are Dead and Gone (Spoilers)

Today’s Friday Five pays homage to five characters that are dead and gone already in season 3. Or, more aptly, ‘The Body Count Rises’.

For those who have not seen season three yet and do not wish to be spoiled, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER.

SPOILERS

1. Talbot: the most recent of the dearly departed – again. His was a loss that fans will feel for a long time.
2. Coot: the crazy, red-neck were that delighted in violence and V; won’t be missed. Although, Grant Bowler did a fine job of making us dislike him, don’t you think?
3. Lorena: the twisted, psychotic, vampire who ‘made’ Bill is finally gone. However, many really liked her, so there are probably some armbands being worn.
4. The Magister: the by-the-book, enforcer of vampire laws who loved to torture, was himself tortured then killed by the King of Mississippi. Won’t be missed.
5. Franklin: or is he? Time will tell, but there is a lot of debate over this. Thanks, Alan!
