‘True Blood’ season 6 spoilers: Meet a new series regular

“True Blood” season 6 is finally getting set to start shooting early next year, and with that in mind, some more casting news is breaking from the HBO show about a new faces in Bon Temps who is set to play a major role in the episodes coming up.

So who are we specifically talking about here? According to a new report from Zap2It, the character we are getting set to meet goes by the name of Nicole, and she is a reasonably normal human being in the she is not a vampire, werewolf, or anything else of a supernatural persuasion. However, she does still have some rather surprising beliefs. For one, she is a part of a liberal group who travels state to state preaching freedom and equality, and while her sense of idealism is admirable, this is also the sort of thing that can land her in hot water if she ticks off the wrong people.

We are sure that Nicole’s travels are going to lead her to Bon Temps during season 6, but just who she will be interacting with for the time being is a little unclear. On the surface, she is a great potential Jason Stackhouse love interest in that he is easily swayed to various causes (as proven in the past), though it would be more interesting to see her travel down a different road and try to get some of the town’s resident vampire population united behind her. After all, shouldn’t everyone be trying to get along a little better now after the Authority disaster that shook down in season 5?

What do you think about this character so far?
