Is there more to Lafayette’s love than meets the eye?
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010Question: This is my first time asking a question. I feel a little giddy! Do you have any more scoop on the upcoming season of True Blood? June 13 still seems so far away! —Carrie
Ausiello: The Bon Temps rumor mill is rife with speculation that Lafayette’s love story will have a supernatural tinge to it. Translation: Boyfriend’s not just a nurse.
Is there more to the character of Jesus?
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010(EW.COM, 1/6/09) Question: I love the idea of Kevin Alejandro as Lafayette’s BF on True Blood. What else do you know about his character, Jesus? —Kevin Ausiello: I know what Alan Ball just told me. “Lafayette, for all his fierceness, has built a big wall around his heart and is not particularly inclined to be emotionally vulnerable. Jesus is going to try his best to knock that wall down. But there is a bigger and more dangerous reason Jesus is drawn to Bon Temps, one that will be revealed over time.”
Dun, Dun, Dun….
What do you guys think?

Kevin Alejandro is joining ‘True Blood’ as Lafayette’s love interest, “Jesus.”
Sunday, January 3rd, 2010(The Hollywood Reporter: By Nellie Andreeva/Jan 3, 2010)
“Southland” co-star Kevin Alejandro is staying in the South with another high-profile series gig, joining Alan Ball’s vampire drama “True Blood.”
Alejandro, expected to appear in almost every episode of the HBO series’ upcoming third season, will play Jesus, a Latino orderly who is taking care of Ruby Jean Reynolds (Alfre Woodard) at her care facility and becomes involved with her son, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis).
Alejandro continues to be attached as a regular to “Southland,” which recently moved from NBC to TNT. Because of the cable network’s plan to air the 13 produced episodes of the cop drama, starting Jan. 12, before making a decision whether to order a second season, Alejandro can accommodate “Blood” while keeping his obligation to “Southland.”
Alejandro, repped by Main Title and attorney Jason Hendler, co-starred on “Shark,” “Drive,” “Ugly Betty” and recently recurred on “Weeds.”
On “Blood,” he joins such other new additions as Denis O’Hare, Marshall Allman, Theo Alexander, Grant Bowler, Joe Manganiello and Lindsay Pulsipher.
