TRUE BLOOD Season 5 – Ball Rolling for New Characters!

Okay, True Blood fans, are you ready to drool over some new faces? In the news this week, Alan Ball’s television masterpiece is getting new blood. The sexy HBO paranormal fest is introducing a whole gaggle of new characters for Season 5.

Nora is one newbie slated to appear. She’s describes as a gorgeous and whip smart a beautiful young adult who will pose as something of a “double agent within the Vampire Authority”. Are you intrigued? I know I am. In fact, the role gets juicer! Nora has a “big” past history with Eric. She’s one of Godric’s creations. So, yes, we hear Nora will be nude at some point or another. Come on. You aren’t surprised are you? Hers is a recurring role.

Nora is just one of two newbies EW spilled the exclusive word about.  The second newcomer has ties to a book not penned by Charlaine Harris? Can you guess which one? It’s the Bible! Say what?

Co-Executive Producer Raelle Tucker told EW they were planning to bring in an actress for a “very significant, strong, mysterious woman at the center of one of our main stories next year … a very familiar and compelling character. It may be someone you’ve heard of before.” Are those clues helpful at all, because I’m scratching my head here. But we won’t leave you hanging. The lady’s name is Salome and she’s the daughter of the Bible’s very own Herodias. Hmm. I’ll have to Google that one later. Any choices on who can act out these two characters?
