“It’s been so much fun working with such a great cast,” says Sircar. “I’d love to come back for more episodes, but nobody is safe in Mystic Falls! Working with the boys in this show could make a girl’s head spin. They’re all so easy on the eyes. But what’s better, they happen to be really sweet as well.”

Sircar’s potentially recurring role will debut in episode three of the upcoming second season of the series.

EW

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Courtney Ford — a.k.a. Trinity’s daughter on Dexter — has landed the potentially recurring role of Vanessa, a grad student at Duke who helps Damon, Alaric, and Elena go through Isobel’s old research.

At Comic-Con last month, exec producer Kevin Williamson hinted that the character may be harboring a secret or two. “She’s not without her own intrigue,” he told me. “It’ll be a nice little part for someone. And it’s a part that could evolve into this massive story line or we could gut her like a fish.”

God bless Kevin Williamson and his awesome sound bites.

Hopefully, we’ll get more info at this afternoon’s SDCC panel.

Thanks to Chris for the info!

P.S. Knowing that Joe will be back next year… what do you think this means for the next season, story wise?

via twitter @vincent_gallo Fucking thrilled to announce that I’ll be playing the Sheriff of NY in the upcoming season of True Blood. Best role EVER! I GET FANGS!!

The latest casting call sheet has been floating around for a few day. But, a couple of the listings have piqued our interest:

First up, the vampire lawyer who prepares a last will and testament for Eric. Why? Is the rise in vampire hate crimes and the sudden disappearance of Bill, forcing Eric to worry about his estate once he officially turns into ashes?

Secondly, the newscaster who is seen on TV and reveals that no information on Russell’s whereabouts is forthcoming. Such a departure from the book and maybe the second high-profiled vampire kidnapping in the South.

And thirdly, the character of Jade and her husband Vern who detest Vampires and want to terrorize Vampires… head to Bill’s house to attack him but are stopped by Jessica. So, I believe this is in retaliation to the incidents in Dallas.

Intriguing, intriguing. All these little hints in the casting call sheet show that the next season is chock-full of interesting story lines.

what are your thoughts on these little spoilers…?

Secondly, the following has been confirmed:

• Back for Season 3 and for at least one episode are Mehcad Brooks and Anna Camp.
• Sean Michael Guess will be portraying Homer.
• Rebecca Tilney will be portraying Dr. Sekuler.

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!
