Welcome to Truest Blood, the official True Blood podcast.

I'm Kristen Bauer, and I'm Deborah Ann Wool.

And you've been invited in.

I want to do bad things we are the Truest Blood.

Welcome back to Truest Blood, where we sink our fangs into the series, Bite by Bite.

Valentina Chervi is here, and we could not be more excited. I mean, I think she just carried season five.

Unbelievable. She created one of the most memorable arcs for a single season character. I mean, that is hard, and it is also a very high bar on a show like True Blood.

Yeah, she is a beautiful, seductive Italian big bad.

Big bad, very bad girl, which we've been talking about, are our favorite kinds of girls.

Exactly.

So, yeah, I just cannot wait to dig into her brain

on what it was like

to play Salome.

Yeah, likewise.

But first,

let's wrap up season five

with a quick bite.

It's one month

in the life of Sookie Stackhouse.

Music Okay. Thank you, Deb, for working this out because I find this so entertaining.

It's a lot of work. It's a lot of work. I don't know how you do it.

Data gathering. Data gathering. You are good at that. I mean, this is incredible. I mean, strap in, kids, because you're not going to believe this.
