Franklin Is Indeed Dead!!! Final Dead That Is!

James Frain has confirmed that his True Blood character is dead.

Frain appeared in the third season as the vampire Franklin Mott, who was shot by Jason (Ryan Kwanten) with a wooden bullet.

Frain has now told Entertainment Weekly that he does not think he could return to the show.

"He's done," he said. "Dead. Gone. Once they goo you, there's no coming back from that. Goo equals gone."

However, Frain admitted that he loved working on the series, saying: "He was such a great character and he was the most fun to play ever, but I think part of what made it so fun was that it was a contained ride. When you've got someone that psycho, where is he going to go next?

"There's something cool about the fact that it was like a hit and run. But I do miss him."
