An article over at the EW is saying James Frain is the newest member to join the cast of True Blood.

He will be playing the recurring role of Franklin Mott, Tara’s overprotective vampire boyfriend.

Well Eggs was much more enjoyable to look at!!! I’m gonna miss him!!! James is a good actor though guess we’ll have to wait and see what his character brings!!!

Here is some info on the character from the EW:

The casting breakdown for the role describes Franklin as a tall, dark, and handsome vampire who seems to have an “immediate and torrid” connection to Tara. In the books, Franklin is essentially Tara’s sugar daddy, but I’m guessing Alan Ball is taking the character in a different direction.
