There are only three episodes remaining fourth season of True Blood dvd, and the main battle between witches and vampires. But there is another storm.

HBO's official description for the True Blood season 4 finale, "And When I Die," promises that "the denizens of Bon Temps brace for a new crisis with a familiar face." Those simple words have caused massive fan speculation that the "familiar face" is none other than King Russell Edgington, the spine-ripping former vampire king who was given a cement grave at the end of season 3 True Blood dvd on sale.

Contrary to popular opinion and hope,the HBO spokesman said that Denis O'Hare (who plays Russell) will not be returning in season 4.

I'm sure it might just be a big disinformation campaign designed to throw fans off the scent Russell, but for the sake of argument,let's assume it's the truth as Russell is not the "familiar face." Who does that leave?
