Alan Ball: "No Bubba For True Blood"

Since True Blood became our favourite vampire-centric show du jour we've had this niggling feeling that something is seriously missing from the series.

Just where is Sookie's faithful bodyguard Bubba?

Unfortunately, show creator Alan Ball has revealed that the character is never likely to appear.

Alan told Entertainment Weekly's Mike Ausiello that he couldn't figure out a way to introduce Bubba "without it being cheesy".

He added: "I don't know how to do it without either using an Elvis impersonator, which is cheesy, or having somebody and never seeing their face, just hearing their voice — and to me that sounds equally cheesy.

"So that's just one of the casualties of the transfer from book to screen."

Colour us extremely disappointed.
