True Blood’s team of writers participated in a panel tonight at the Paley Center for Media, and there was a lot of discussion about season 3
-Alan confirms that Alcide will appear beginning in episode 3.03. He has not yet been cast.
-Regarding Bubba, Alan says that he loves the character in the books, but “because he’s Elvis there’s no way we can do it” on the show.
-Alan Ball isn’t a fan of celebrity/stunt casting. He doesn’t think Snoop will get his wish to vamp out in season 3
-“I will admit to oftentimes saying, ‘Come on, can we just get his [Ryan Kwanten’s] shirt off?’”
-Raelle Tucker reveals a soft spot for Lafayette: “I am a dirty little slut for Lafayette, even if I’m not his type.”
-Alan acknowledged that the maenad storyline went on for too long
-Alan knows what the fans want: “Alexander Skarsgard appears without most of his clothes in the very first episode of S3.”
-We find out where Bill is in episode 3.01. Too bad no one cares.
-Fans in the audience are expressing their unhappiness with Evan Rachel Wood as Sophie-Anne. Alan takes it in stride.
-Alan Ball: “There are a big boatload of new characters in S3. Even the Newlins may appear again.”
-MaryAnne is really dead as a doornail-Ah, some reassurance for Team Bill: “Bill will not be marginalized. Bill and Sookie will have troubles, but Bill and Sookie have a connection that will not die.” LOL
-And something else for Team Eric: Alan confirms that Eric will get amnesia in season 4.-And something else for Team Eric: Alan confirms that Eric will get amnesia in season 4

-Alan says we’ll see more Pam and Nan Flanagan (maybe during some trouble at Fangtastia) in season 3, groans at mention of pink spandex.
-And we will be seeing more Godric in flashbacks during S3.
-Season 3 will premiere in June 2010(via ontd and true-blood.net)
I think the Bubba thing is lame. There are totally Elvis impersonators out there….
I’m pretty much happy with all of this except that there’s no Bubba. :(
And heck yeah for more Pam and Eric with less clothes…… :D
