Brit Morgan (ABC’s “The Middleman”) has been cast in the role many have been waiting to hear about, Alcide’s psycho ex Debbie Pelt.
The role has said to be greatly expanded for the TV show as compared to the book.

Just killed off of “Heroes,” the carnival psychic Lydia, played by Dawn Oliveiri, is joining “True Blood” as werewolf Janice Herveaux, who is the sister to the main werewolf Alcide next season. She is said to be part of his werewolf biker gang.
As of yet the one role everyone is waiting to see who has been cast in is Alcide’s psycho ex Debbie Pelt. Rumor has it the role has been cast, so why are they not saying who won the spot? It must be someone big!
Casting news from Ausiello/Reuters/Hollywood Reporter . . .
Kim Raver has been up’d to a full cast member on “Grey’s Anatomy,” becoming the new cardio resident at Seattle Grace.
Julie Benz (Rita on “Dexter”) has been cast as a stripper on “Desperate Housewives” and will have several episodes airing in February.
Kevin Alejandro joins “True Blood” as a nurse taking care of Layette’s mother, and he also becomes a love interest for Lafayette .
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lindsay Pulsipher is the latest to join season three of “True Blood.” She’ll be playing Crystal Norris, some type of hippie-love child that connects with Jason Stackhouse and then dissapears into the forest on him.
At this point, I believe the only major character yet to be cast is Alcide’s ex-girlfriend Debbie Pelt.
Spoilers on Lindsay’s character Crystal after the jump!

Ausiello has reported that Joe Manganiello has been cast as Alcide on “True Blood.” “One Tree Hill” fans know him as Owen the bartender.
In the recent days he’s also revealed a few other casting bits. Natasha Alam has been cast as a possible love interest for Eric, playing a dancer at Fangtasia. James Frain has been cast as Franklin Mott, who becomes a vampire love interest for Tara. Finally J. Smith-Cameron will play Sam’s trashy birth mom.
Other casting news . . . Alfre Woodard will play Lafeyette’s mom. Most will remember her as Mrs. Applewhite on “Housewives” (among the millions of other things she’s done). Kristin Bauer who plays Eric’s side kick Pam has been up’ed to a series regular next year.
For some spoilers (provided by a friend whose read the books, I plan to start after Xmas) make the jump for some answers to some of Season 2’s cliffhangers!

More casting news!
Theo Alexander has been cast as Talbot, the vampire lover of the King of Mississippi (Dennis O’Hare)

According to the Daily Telegraph in Australia, Australian actor Grant Bowler has signed on for season 3 of “True Blood.” There is no mention of who Grant will play.
Currently Grant plays Connor Owens on “Ugly Betty.” The world thinks he’s dead, but he’ll be returning from the death in the upcoming episode which takes place in Bermuda.
Can’t wait till next year for the new season of “True Blood?” Ausiello has a huge list of the new characters to be added to the show next year. They include Sam’s long lost brother Tommy Mickens, a new vampire involved in Bill’s kidnapping named Talbot, Franklin Mott who becomes Tara’s vampire friend, and Reverend Daniels who becomes a love interest for Tara’s mom.
Via Ausiello at EW.com, “True Blood” is casting new roles for season 3.
Apparently staying somewhat true to the third book “Club Dead,” the show is casting werewolf Alcide and his nutsoid ex-girlfriend Debbie Pelt for the third season.
Ausiello at EW posted yet another interview/quote with “True Blood” producer/creator Alan Ball about what could be ahead. Stop now if you don’t want spoilers!
Not having read the books (but planning to hopefully this winter!) Ball may bring in a dark secret of Bill’s next season, that Bill originally returned home to recruit Sookie into working for the Queen! That could really piss Sookie off! (Again not having read the books, don’t know what the fallout was!).
In my previous post on the season finale, I linked to another one of Ausiello’s interviews with Alan Ball. Ball revealed the person who kidnapped Bill was . . . Hoyt’s mama? Not sure if that was a joke or not 
Finally Dennis O’Hare has been cast as the Vampire King of Mississippi (again via Ausiello 
)
LOL on Lost, I knew they would never be able to give a satisfactory answer and half the fans would be ticked Otherwside I have to watch online. Do you think NBC has a hit on their hands with "Parenthood?"
