Q&A: 'True Blood' cast

Michelle Forbes as Mary Ann

What can we expect this season from Mary Ann?
There’s so much mystery happening this season. This whole thing just blows open, and you have these four separate stories spinning like hurricanes. The writers wrote it, we read it, we performed it—and we were still shocked. I just read the finale and I’m still shocked by what I just read.

What’s it like to join this cast?
It’s wonderful. They were so welcoming and I tend to take so many of these people away as my friend. It’s a very supportive cast. It’s really wonderful because you’re galvanized by the fearlessness of your cast members. You know, companies aren’t always supportive. But this is a very supportive company. And everyone’s intelligent and lovely.
