Lauren Bowles discusses her character on True Blood, Holly Cleary

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

DS – Bowles will join the show as Holly Cleary in Sunday’s episode but refused to reveal too much about her storylines.

“What I can tell you, because it’s shrouded in secrecy on this show, [is that] I am the new waitress at Merlotte’s – a single working mom,” she told Fancast. “I might have some interesting abilities that will develop as the show goes on.”

She added: “[Holly] and Arlene hit it off right away, both being single, working class mums. They develop a friendship pretty quickly.”

Bowles also revealed that landing a role on the show was a “dream come true” because she is such a big fan.

“When I am sitting in that Merlotte’s set I literally look around and I truly can’t believe I’m here,” she said. “Usually I’m focused on the scene but I do have those out of body moments where all of a sudden I’m like, ‘Wait. I’m wearing Merlotte’s shorts, standing at the bar. What the hell is going on?’”

Holly has been cast…

Lauren Bowles

Lauren Bowles has been cast as Holly in season 3 (or more) of True Blood.

As you may recall, the casting call asked for the following:

HOLLY: A thirtysomething (presumably single) mother of two, Holly applies for a job at Merlotte’s and creeps Arlene out with her oddly prescient observations. Very strong recurring in season 3 with a possible series regular upgrade in season 4.

In the books, we first meet Holly Cleary in Living Dead in Dallas. She is a human that is highly interested in the religion of Wicca. She does have a little boy named Cody and works as a barmaid at Merlotte’s and eventually ends up dating Hoyt Fortenberry.

Congratulations to Lauren!
