Kristin Bauer Discusses Pam’s Relationship Development in Season 4

THR chatted with Kristin Bauer about some of the relationship developments we are going to see in Pam on True Blood this season. Pam will have to deal with Eric’s amnesia, Jessica’s teen issues and her possible new BFF, Sookie.

THR: We’re seeing that Pam isn’t quite into the vampire politics.

Kristin Bauer: Right. It’s very fun to find out this year that she’s not a strategist.  She really is the least apologetic of anybody about being a vampire it seems. She’s just not a team player. She feels that this whole thing is ridiculous. She’s a reactor. She can’t think two steps ahead, which of course is what is needed now in this post-Russell Edgington world. She’s smart, but doesn’t want to be in charge of making the bigger decisions. You know, Eric has patience. He can work angles. It was a thousand years or something to track down Russell Edgington last year. He bided his time and hung out with him and, you know, had a love scene with his lover. He can really play the game and he knows Pam can’t. He doesn’t expect her to and doesn’t ask her to. It’s kind of an amazing perfect relationship. (THR)

I’m going to love seeing the Sookie/Pam friendship grow. Sookie can give Pam a run for her money in the snark department.
