Our own Woman in Black is sitting in on the TV Guide: Fan Favorites Panel at the San Diego Comic-Con … Ready for some more tidbits regarding “True Blood” and “The River”? Read on for details!

Kristin Bauer van Straten and Nelsan Ellis (pictured below) – “True Blood” – New clip: Pam (Bauer van Straten) is asking Bill (Stephen Moyer) for help with her face. He suggests a “cosmetic solution” like makeup and such. In response she peels off a nice piece of her rotting skin. He says, “Well, the veil then.”

Kristin says things will get worse for Pam before they get better. Also, her face falling off doesn’t make her crumble; instead it just brings out her mean streak.

Nelsan says Lafayette is on a tumultuous journey but has found a “sexy squeeze” in Jesus (Kevin Alejandro) to help make things better. He’s having fun playing a witch – it’s a clever way for Alan Ball to have Lafayette do even crazier, wild stuff.

Leslie Hope – “The River” – She jumped at the chance to do the show because of the creative talent involved. Promises that it will be very scary – she’s actually been scared during the filming of it. Not really a “horror” show since there’s not much blood and guts; more of a “supernatural thriller” type setup. They showed a clip that ends with the warning that now that it’s tasted blood, it won’t stop. No idea what “it” is, but we’re definitely intrigued!
