Alan Ball Interview

The Daily Beast has a little chat with Alan Ball.
He talks about the characters on the show.

Check it all out here.

Here is an excerpt:

“Ultimately, there are really no rules,” said Ball. “Gran died in the first book and it was shocking, but it was so important in terms of Sookie’s arc that I couldn’t deviate from that. However, Lafayette dies in the second book but when we were shooting the pilot and Nelsan [Ellis] starting working his magic I went, ‘Oh no, we can’t ever kill this guy.’ I mean, I could [but] there is a core group of series regulars that by this point I’m very emotionally invested in and I don’t want to see any of them die.”

If they ever got rid of Lafayette I might lose it!!
He is my favorite character on the show!
