SPOILERS: Alcide’s Boss and Jesus’s History

Michael Ausiello gave us some scoop about Alcide (Joe Manganiello) and Jesus this week. Many SouthLAnd fans were pretty upset over the death of their fave character, played by Kevin Alejandro (Jesus), and wanted to know if he’ll be back for season 4. 

Question: I would love some True Blood scoop! —Beth
Ausiello: Alcide’s getting an after-hours boss. The show is casting the role of Raoul, a tough, intense white dude in his early 40s who also happens to be the werewolf packmaster of Shreveport. Curiously, interested applicants must be shorter than Joe Manganiello. Good luck finding an unemployed actor in Hollywood under 8-foot-6!

Question: I am still in shock over Nate’s death on Southland! First Kevin Alejandro gets killed off Ugly Betty and now Southland too? Why do these crazy TV execs kill off such a gorgeous man?! Please tell me I will still get to see Kevin on True Blood! —Andi
Ausiello: Not only will he be back, but Jesus is getting an origin arc! Alan Ball will be digging into the gay witch’s creepy backstory this season, complete with flashbacks to the mid-80s when he was living in the Chihuahuan desert with his protective mother and terrifying, intimidating brujo of a grandfather.

OK, that crack about finding an actor under 8 foot 6 was hilarious! Find out more spoilers on other faves at www.tvline.com.
