A marriage to JB could also have replaced the whole thing with her mother, Lettie Mae Thornton (played by Obie-winning Adina Porter who is currently in the pitch room as Kendra on The Newsroom). Tara could still have been the wise ass human, rather than settling into the scene as a smitten succubus. The book’s arc could have replaced Tara’s turn as a pissed off vampire who’s all loving sunshine with her maker, Pamela Swynford De Beaufort (played by Kristin Bauer van Straten, the girlfriend with “Man-Hands” on Seinfeld). True Blood could have afforded a JB du Rone, they grow like magnolia in Louisiana. Tara Thornton spends a lot of the book forgiving Sookie, while not really listening. That’s after she survived being made into a vampire’s love-slave. In the books, Tara runs a store called Tara’s Togs, marries JB and has kids with him, Sara Sookie du Rone and Robert Thorton du Rone. Sookie and Tara, who is an entirely different character in the book series, take turns being chaperoned to places with him when they want good-looking arm candy. JB Du Rone went to school with Tara and Sookie, and didn’t learn a thing. He is very loyal, kind of like a cocker spaniel, though he never turns into anything. When he needs extra cash, he strips at a fairy Chippendale knock-off. Sookie describes him as gorgeous and vacant. JB Du Rone is as dumb as socks and I’m only really including him so I can write that.
#THE SHADOWS OF DOUBT TRUE BLOOD FANFIC SERIES#
Here are some of the characters from the book series that were never unborn on the screen. But we’ll never know because they never showed up for the party. Some of the characters were very well suited for the screen. Now that True Blood has met the true death and it’s Definitely Dead we know certain characters from the book won’t get a chance to make an appearance.
It wasn’t like Ball had his hands on the Vampire Bible and he was Vampire Bill Compton infused with the spirit of his creator, or at least his licensee. But Ball had his own stories to tell, his own mythology to create. True Blood‘s Alan Ball used the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse novels as a starting point and he translated the first book, Dead Until Dark, as faithfully as one would expect. It was a romance, a soap opera with a grinding organ, swelling with the drama, not a horror series.
They teased with vampires like Franklin Mott and Russell Edginton, psychopathic maniacs in a world of sociopathic lunatics, a netherworld where True Blood seldom went. I like my vampires a little more sociopathic than the ones Charlaine Harris offers. True Blood’s last season was the first time I only watched each episode once. You can almost always catch any of their series on each of their channels and they give you a guaranteed marathon every three weeks. I watched every episode, usually twice because HBO runs their series forever. Now that True Blood has shuffled off its immortal coil I can admit I liked the series less than I wanted to.
