Fangbangers, rejoice! True Blood is back and it's sexier than ever. Along with an onslaught of new characters, fan-favorite vampire lieutenant Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) will be stepping into the spotlight, as Bauer has been promoted to be a series regular. TVGuide.com caught up with Bauer — who also told us about her charitable work to secure the world's whale population — to get the lowdown on Pam's promotion, Eric and Sookie's relationship and the ever-present threat of death during Season 3.
TVGuide.com: Congrats on becoming a series regular. How does it feel?
Kristin Bauer van Straten: It's so good, wonderful on many levels. I feel like I've been invited to the greatest party on Earth.
TVGuide.com: So we'll see a lot more of Pam this season?
Bauer van Straten: Yes, we do. We also learn a lot more about her. I'm surprised to find that she has a sensitive side. It's all about identity this year and peeling the onion, finding out the deeper layers of these characters. For every character, we see their integrity and also their vulnerability and sexuality. Everything is pushed a little further, but really deeper.
TVGuide.com: Speaking of sexuality, it has never been completely clear what Pam's sexuality is. Will that delved into this season?
Bauer van Straten: It will become more clear. We definitely find out that she's at least bisexual. There's more than a hint on that one. [Laughs]
True Blood: "Bill and Sookie have a connection that will never die"
TVGuide.com: This season is so much more supernatural, but you've already been immersed in that playing a vampire.
Bauer van Straten: Yes. My world is more about my relationship with Eric [Alexander Skarsgård] and the politics of the vampire world. You get to see Pam's astoundingly deep relationship with Eric and where her integrity and loyalty lies. She's still sarcastic, she's still wearing amazing clothing, but also we see the person behind the vampire.
TVGuide.com: How will Pam feel about Eric being distracted by Sookie (Anna Paquin) this season?
Bauer van Straten: We are dealing with that. Pam is such a great lieutenant because she wants to keep Eric's eye in the game, but her main focus is to always have him around. She'd give her life for this guy. We'll discover her purpose in Eric's life.
