True Blood’s Rutina Wesley: “Tara is a survivor”

rutina1 stephen moyer and anna paquinRutina Wesley answered a few questions for Parade recently and I don’t know whether to say poor, poor Tara or bring it on – Rutina’s gonna own that screen. Her character should be fun to watch this year as she hooks up with the psychotic Franklin Mott while recovering from the loss of Eggs.

Unlucky-in-love Tara’s questionable romantic future.
“She does have this vampire love interest. I don’t know that I can say ‘love interest,’ maybe it’s more of a ‘dark interest.’ He’s very psychotic.”

Season 3 won’t be a cakewalk for Tara.
“Tara is a survivor. You’re going to see her struggle with trying to survive in this world, with all of the things that are going to happen to her. She has an incredible journey this season – incredible. I really, really enjoyed playing it. It has been as emotionally challenging if not more so than Season 2 or Season 1.

Working with real-life couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer.
“They’re very private, and I respect that. And they’re very professional. They don’t come to set making out, they come to set to work. People picked up on the chemistry, but no one thought anything was going to come of it. I think it’s beautiful to see two actors like that who can work together and have a relationship outside of it that’s just as healthy. They really do adore each other. They really love each other. I’ve just enjoyed watching their relationship grow, and watching them work together is amazing. Their chemistry is unbelievable.”

    She’d better be a survivor – AB & Co throwing all kinds of crazy her way! I wish though that she does have some happiness this year – I love Tara when she’s on top of her game and notsomuch when she’s in distress.

    Oh my, that is a lovely photograph of Ms. Wesley.

    I’ve Seen Askars personal life written about on other TB sites. So, why not A&S? A lot of folks like to know tid bits about the cast away from the job. Fans eat that stuff up…and it perpetuates the success of the show, believe it or not :)

    You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to.
