Tara's A Fighter But Who Side Will SHe Be Fighting For?!

Rutina Wesley has insisted that her True Blood character Tara is a "fighter".

Wesley explained that although the return of Sookie (Anna Paquin) has caused Tara to go back to Bon Temps, she will stand up for herself this season.

"You're going to see Tara more as a survivor, and she's a fighter," Wesley told Entertainment Weekly. "And she's going to fight her way the best she can.

"It's a whole new Tara in that she's confident. It's the difference between someone who is completely miserable on the inside versus someone who knows they're beautiful."

However, Wesley added: "It is True Blood. The drama will set in, things will happen. She will get wrapped up in everything. A lot of it. But she won't have a choice."

Wesley also suggested that there will be various conflicts between the different supernatural creatures on the show.

"When you've got shifters and werewolves and vampires and witches, there's bound to be some tension," she said. "There's going to be some craziness this season, and because her best friend is Sookie, Tara is going to get swept back into everything. But I can't tell you whose side she's going to be on."

Tara's Little Twist.....

True Blood star Rutina Wesley has described the twist involving her character as "great".

In last night's fourth season premiere, Tara was revealed to be dating another woman (Vedette Lim), despite previous relationships with Eggs and Franklin.

Wesley told EW: "I don't think she was expecting it. I think it just happened.

"I think it was one of those things where you just fall in love with who you fall in love with. I don't think she labels herself as one thing or the next. She just started hanging out and the next thing you know, she was in love."

Wesley added that she believes the new relationship will be good for Tara.

"I think... she's finally ready for it," she said. "I think she's finally going to love herself in a way that is beautiful. Her self-esteem is back up, and that's opened her up to love someone else.

"I think she also needed a new lease on life. She totally comes back more zen, and she's a feisty season one Tara who we all loved."

Talk about working with Anna Paquin.

Anna is my girl. She has been lovely to work with. She is very generous as a scene partner and she has my back. I enjoy all our moments together because we actually get along really well on and off set and it makes work so much easier and our connection on-screen that much stronger.
