SPOILER CHAT: Is Lafayette Dead on True Blood?
Diana in Bend, Ore.: What can you tell us about True Blood? I’m so excited for season two!
We just chatted up True Blood star Stephen Moyer and asked him about the future of Nelsan Ellis’ brilliant Lafayette, and Moyer said, “Lafayette, I can’t talk about. Nelsan is an amazing dude, and, uh, I hope he does come back…but I, you know…who knows.” There’s no decisive statement in there, but “I hope he does come back” seems to suggest that Lafayette’s gone somewhere, and for that matter, Nelsan’s Lafayette also does not appear in any of the season two promo photos, the press releases or the books after Dead Until Dark. Long story short, we’re starting to feel pretty naive for having believed/hoped the show was just toying with us and would find a way to keep Lafayette around for season two and beyond. We are going to need a lot of naked vampires to make up for this disaster. Post your Lafayette lamentations in the comments, and don’t forget to check back soon for more from Stephen Moyer about True Blood season two.

I am rididcilously fond of Lafayette. Alan Ball said: ” Anybody who has read the book will tell you that is is Lafayette.” I like that.*grins*
I see a lot of room for interpretation. Maybe I am too optimistic for Lafayette, though. We must not forget: Layette has made a sizeable number of enemies: vampires, homophobic rednecks, conservative politicians…
When being in Sam’s bar, Eric stressed that vampires know when a mortal has wronged them. I don’t think Lafayette has wronged Eddie. I believe Eddie didn’t think so, either. Even though he wanted Lafayette to have true affection for him.
Still, I seriously doubt, vampires will take too kindly to Lafayette dealing with V.
So where the hell is Lafayette, if he is not the dead body in Andy’s car.
He will be missed. *sniffs*
too bad lafayette was good saying nasty things and in a funny kind of way
So upset if they don’t work him in somehow, he was one of the best. I am going to miss how he always says to TARA hi Hooker!!!
((((
yay! lafayette aint dead.
just watched season 2!
Oh my god!! I’ve read all the books so I was shocked last night! Soo happy though, Lafayette is definitely one of my favorite characters and I would have been so sad to see him go!
that is complete f**king bullshit. as much as i love Lafayete, cause he is the funniest character in my opinion…he was the one that died in the second book (season 2) therefore, in the television series it should have been him. i hate when ppl take a novel, turn it into a series, and completely ruin the story by changing everything about the book….if sookie and bill end up staying together throughout the series….i swear…GAH!!!
shit like this just makes me hella irritated….just like the whole “Blood and Chocolate” movie.

i dont want him back! i dont like him! they should have never killed the hot vampire in season one: with the ink on his bald head =[
he has been given more time than expected he is in the book the body in andys car at the beginning of season
