Michael Ausiello over at TVLine has an exclusive scoop & photos of Scott Foley as the new True Blood character Patrick Devins.

Scott Foley completely naked and having mad passionate sex — those are two things you won’t be witnessing during True Blood‘s upcoming fifth season.

“It’s so disappointing because I went on a diet, I got into great shape, I lost weight… and nothing,” the Felicity/Unit/Grey’s vet mock-rages about his role of Patrick, Terry’s (Todd Lowe) former commander officer in Iraq who turned up without warning in the Season 4 finale. “Todd and I are the only ones who don’t ‘nude up’ on the show!”

Part of the reason for that, Foley points out, is because Patrick is one of the few True Blood characters that is 100 percent (gulp) human. “People ask me, ‘Oh my God, you’re on True Blood — what are you?!” And I have to keep saying, “Umm… nothing! I’m just a guy!’” he recounts with a laugh. “I’m not a vampire, I’m not a werewolf, I’m not a werepanther, I’m not a fairy, I’m not a shapeshifter. I’m just a guy coming into town trying to finish something he started back in Iraq.”

Speaking of which, what exactly is the nature of his unfinished business with Terry? “Something happened between the two of them in Iraq that needs to be dealt with,” Foley teases. “I can’t say what it is. It has nothing to do with vampires or werelwolves. But there is a mission that they need to complete.”

Perhaps a clue can be found in the following never-before-seen Season 5 images?

A new True Blood Season 5 still came out today from HBO! This one is of Eric Northman (played by Alexander Skarsgård, of course!) It is from episode 504, entitled ‘We’ll Meet Again’.

Tonight’s encore presentation of True Blood is episode 6 of Season 4, ‘I Wish I Was the Moon’. The episode was written by Raelle Tucker and directed by Jeremy Podeswa. It will air at 10:00 p.m. (ET) on HBO.

In this episode:

Bill is livid when he hears that Sookie has been hiding Eric in her house. He arrests him and puts him in the same cell with Pam, who is still rotting away. He also asks the Authority to put Eric to the true death. Marnie is also in Bill’s prison but connects with the spirit of the witch from the past who had a deadly spell for dealing with vampires. It’s also a full moon and Jason fully expects to turn into a were-panther. Sookie sits up with him but when he runs off into the woods, it’s Jessica who comforts him. With Sam away taking care of Arlene’s burnt out house, Tommy shifts into something he has never experienced before. In Mexico. Lafayette and Jesus seek help.

Plus…that awesome Neko Case song! Here is the YouTube link to hear it again. Why wasn’t this song included on the last True Blood CD?

Full details can be found in Jess’s awesome recap.

We captured some new True Blood Season 5 images of Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) from an HBO promo last night. This was all there was to it, but we were able to get two images. At this point, we’ll take anything we can get HBO!

HBO aired a new Waiting Sucks video tonight before ‘Game of Thrones’. We got a look at Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) in Season 5.

From the looks of the marker, this looks like it will be in episode 504.
