Dead and Gone Tara Thornton

When and how did you find out that Tara was going to die within the first five minutes of the final season?
Rutina Wesley: I found out over my hiatus that I was going to die, so I had to keep it in the whole time. It was kind of crazy. I was like, “Wow, OK!” But that’s what makes it True Blood. We’re in our final season. We have to keep it bloody. Somebody’s gotta go! I think they wanted to do that to get people right in there. I was OK with it. I’m sad. It’s kind of bittersweet because I’m going to miss everybody, but on to bigger and better things. It’s been a wild ride so far.

Despite her death, will Tara return?
Wesley: She’s dead. I hate to say it, but she’s dead. I’m no longer.

How do you think Tara’s death will affect everyone, particularly Pam, who was looking for Eric when she died, and Sookie, who has been her best friend since childhood?
Wesley: They’re going to be deeply affected by it. Tara and Sookie and best friends. I think it’s going to affect her deeply. She’s going to miss her. Even though Tara has gone off and done her own thing, it’s still going to hurt like she’s died twice. She has. Who dies twice?! [Laughs] It’s going to hurt. For Pam, it’s going to be interesting to see how it affects her, to see if she shows any emotion at all. I’m curious to see myself actually.

How will Lettie Mae handle it since they had just begun to reconcile?
Wesley: I don’t know if it’s going to send her over the edge or if she’s going to gain some sort of strength and remain stable from it with Reverend Daniels at her side. It is going to be hard because they did just come back together.

Well you did make it all the way though … #TruetotheEnd

love ya Tara Thornton!

until just now I thought she was, somehow, still alive… what . . 

I’m grieving this. From the first episode, Tara was my best friend too.
