Image Credit: Mathew Imaging/FilmMagicMerlotte’s is adding yet another wackadoodle to its payroll: Lauren Bowles has been cast in the major recurring role of Holly, an oddly prescient single mom who gets hired as a waitress at Sam’s watering hole.
Look for Bowles, whose credits include Watching Ellie, Seinfeld, and The New Adventures of Old Christine (she’s the half-sister of Julia Louis-Dreyfus), to debut midway through True Blood‘s upcoming third season and possibly return as a series regular in season 4.
Thoughts?










I wonder if her Red Shirt means something….
No MBA, I decided to take a break after ingtteg my BA, which everyone knows means there’s only a 5% chance that you’ll actually end up going back to school. How many poodles is too many poodles?
Yeah, probably. Especially since it says in the article that she’s coming back for Season 4…
Terefe Fikru Posted on It is a great pleasure to uragpde my self so that i’ll make a significant contribution to my home country on my return. i do have bachelor’s degree in chemistry . Thanks for considering my application !!!
Holly in the books in a minor character at first, but ends up being A LOT MORE leading Team Sookie into a great war.
yeah she is more important later on, don’t think in the third book she is all that special.
Oh my gosh! It looks like such a fantastic time! I LOVE how you put all the puceirts at the bottom of the post. That is Awesome. I am SO jealous that you got to meet two of my FAVORITE photographers! I just love Jennifer and Julia so much! Have a wonderful week! Can’t wait to see more puceirts of yours in the future!
WOD as Rx’ed. Strength pullups using a 10lb wegiht around waist off and on throughout sets. Did 5.5 rounds of WOD with 105 for pushpress and 125 for squat, using just one bar adding/taking off wegiht between sets during recovery
I wanna see the fairy twins if they are gonna go that route or not? I’m guessing yes b/c they keep hinting at sook’s specialness, but will they show the twins…and who will play that hot sibs?
Me, too! I can’t watch True Blood (I don’t have HBO), but I like to see who has been cast and how they fit with my perception from reading the books. I think Eric was PERFECT casting
You can watch TrueBlood on line at several places but I like Yidio.com the best!
Bring on HOT CLAUDE!
I’ve been dying to see Claude and Claudine (and Claudette for her brief moments) too! I hope they bring them into the show at some point.
This actress fits my vision of Holly from reading the books, unlike many of the actors cast in this show.
I thought Holly was an early-20s brunette?
I don’t like her. Not sure why. Maybe cause I pictured Holly more feminine than this woman.
If I go by the unflattering picture you have posted she does nothing for me!
I knew I’d seen her somewhere before, but despite the credits listed, I couldn’t remember why she stuck out in my mind… and then it hit me: she’s the waitress that gives George the ‘bird’ surreptitiously!
In which show?
Seinfeld.
AHAHAHA AWESOME.
I’ve read the first 5 books in the series but I’m having a hard time remembering her character. Hmm.
Noooooooooooooooooooo! Lauren Bowles is a horrible casting decision. Horrible. Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
i think holly was one of the witches in the books right?
Yah, she was the wicca that was semi-helping Sookie.
She’s so much like I pictured her from the books. Great casting!!
I’ve seen her on a BUNCH of stuff through the years. Great addition to an AWESOME show.
