CASTING NEWS!!! From Rhoswen7-
Casting notice for episode #510, "Gone, Gone, Gone": 
TRUE BLOOD, Episode #510, "Gone, Gone, Gone" 
Director: Scott Winant
Writer: Alexander Woo
Location: L.A.
Start Date: Approx. 5/3/2012
[COLE AND ROBBIE] Male, mid 20s to early 30s. These two redneck vampire-haters at Merlotte's plan to take out a vampire, but they're quickly neutralized, terrorized, and humiliated. Co-stars
[PROFESSOR WILLIAM O'CONNELL] In his 40s, divorced, youthful and nerdy, this linguistics professor can't make heads or tails of an ancient text. He thinks it's probably a hoax, or a prank sent by a rival university. One day guest star
[AUTHORITY GUARD CAPTAIN] Male, 30s. Businesslike, polite but firm, this vampire is sent to retrieve another vampire's progeny and escort her someplace else. Co-star 
An ancient text sounds interesting to me, maybe the original Vampire's Guide to the Galaxy, the Vampire Manifesto? It sure sounds like a good role for Anthony Head, ex Rupert Giles from Buffy. So the redneck hunters get a comeuppance, will that be their end or will they come back for a big payback, since it's in Merlotte's will we have a Charles Twining type involved? The guard might be coming for Salome because she is causing big trouble being she's gaga  in the mind and all. Any other speculations from you trubies?

                            All men are trouble, even vamps and shifters.

She LIVES! Fresh-faced Rutina is back on BroadwayWorld's site going to the L.A. opening of the play, The Convert.  Another instance of synchronicity, she is there with Danai Gurira  (the playwright) whose role (Michonne) in The Walking Dead was rumored to be played by Rutina. More pics at the link.
From the ABFF Strikes for Education event-

I'm still wondering (and will be till the show is back) if the Sam and Luna behind the scenes short video is relating to Sweetie Des Arts killing shifters (as in Dead As a Doornail) or if it is one of Marcus's people getting payback or both. What do you think?
Wetpaint has another quiz for Sam Merlotte, how well do we know him?
Zimbio has a pic of Stephen in costume onset, love the bag and knapsack with the oldtimey look.

A production still from one of Ryan's (he has a few) movies to be released, "Not Suitable  for Children". Source From IMDB- A young playboy who learns he has one month until he becomes infertile sets out to procreate as much as possible. Here's a review from someone who saw a screener.

NSFC now has their Facebook page up with piccies. The trailer for 'Not Suitable For Children' will premiere exclusively on line this Thursday the 26th of April.

Comics Blend saw Kristin at the Fan Expo in Vancouver BC- I love True Blood. I couldn’t resist a chance to chat with Kristin Bauer who plays the vampire Pam on the hit HBO series. We talked about the upcoming season, return of Russell Edgington, vampire politics and she teased that the show will reveal more of her character’s back story with Eric (Alexander Skarsgard.)
Jim Parrack tweeted he left Facebook, I forgot he was even there, did he ever post?
Kristin tweeted this- had fun shooting a pretty cool scene today on #trueblood...just sayin'...and also not sayin...but June 10 is soon!
You can watch Michael McMillian's short film "Charlie 13" HERE.

How cute is this? From one of Kristin's tweets, love the Jesus one.

I see this actress, Jobeth Wagner, listed for 5 episodes on IMDB, it's for Fangtasia Vampire, so that means there are several scenes taking place there, yeah!

This is from Jamie Gray Hyder- In November 2011, I was fortunate enough to land a recurring role as Danielle, a new werewolf, on HBO’s True Blood!! I am thrilled to be part of such a successful show, and particularly excited about working for HBO and Alan Ball.Since then, I have shot 2 episodes, Ep 501 “Turn, Turn, Turn”, Ep 502 “Authority Always Wins” and am slated to shoot a 3rd in the coming weeks – and will hopefully be back for more!The cast & crew have been so welcoming, and playing a werewolf is right up my alley. I am so grateful for this opportunity and hope it will lead to bigger and better things!Season 5  is slated to begin airing at the end of June 2012, but until then… Grrrrrrrr
