TV SHOW NEWS FOR FEB 4TH TRUE BLOOD, MERLIN & LOST

LINDSAY PULSIPHER (The Beast and True Blood) Exclusive Interview

Lindsay Pulsipher has also been cast in the new season of True Blood as Jason Stackhouse’s new romantic interest, Crystal Norris. She talked about her experience shooting the first episode and the first weird encounter between her character and Jason.

Congratulations to you on getting cast on ‘True Blood’. Have you started shooting the episodes that you’re in yet?

Lindsay Pulsipher: Yeah. I started right after the holiday break, right at the beginning of January. Right after the new year.

Can you talk about your character in the show?

Lindsay Pulsipher: I can tell you a little bit of what I know. I still don’t know. Like I said, with TV you kind of get thrown all these curveballs. But she’s this mysterious girl that Jason Stackhouse sees. He sees her in the forest. You know how he is with the ladies. He’s quite the ladies man. He sees her through the trees and his interest is piqued and then she runs away. They meet up again later in Bon Temps. They have this really amazing connection and then it goes from there.

What do you think of today’s TV news?

I am enjoying the tidbits of info we get from True Blood – the next season seems to be shaping up well.

I’ve heard a lot about Merlin. I think I’ll have to give that series a try when it comes on here.

The Lost Finale – I’m excited and dreading it. It’s been my favorite show for years. And while I’m looking forward to answers, I will really miss it.
