Carolyn Hennesy stars as Rosalyn Harris on HBO’s vamp-tastic show, “True Blood.” Hennesy made her first appearance on the show June 17th, and gave us some insight into the character:

“Roman ( Chris Meloni), who is the guardian, decides the ultimate fate. I have a little fun in upcoming episodes. I think, in next week’s episode, I do a little torturing. It’s FUN! With Rosalyn, you have the hair and the pearls, and DON’T cross her. She will say anything with a smile as the fangs click out. Rosalyn is a good ol’ Texas gal. Because the character of Roman is so strong, she chooses her words very, very carefully. She is not above giving out some home-spun advice when she needs to.”

Hennesy had nothing but amazing things to say about her “True Blood” co-stars, as well as another newcomer to the show, Chris Meloni:

“I see it on my Twitter following from people telling me, ‘You lucky dog to be in the same room with all of these people.’ To top it all off, they are lovely as people and generous as actors. They are all very funny and very giving, concerned about their show and doing a good show. I am extremely lucky.”

Fans may also recognize the actress from her Daytime Emmy nominated role, Diane Miller, from ABC Daytime‘s “General Hospital.” While Hennesy is doing work on “True Blood,” the actress did mention if GH wrote for Diane, Diane would be there.

Adding onto the list of shows, expect to see more of Hennesy as Mrs. Chesterfield on the Disney Channel original comedy, “Jessie,” which stars Debby Ryan, in season 2. Also, it was announced a few months ago that TBS picked up the former ABC sitcom, “Cougar Town,” and we talked about what Carolyn would like to see with Barb:

“Characters like Barb are few and far in-between. I would love to see a resurgence of Barb. It JUST went to TBS and they haven’t written any new scripts yet. NOW, I hope that if Barb comes back, they don’t take her overboard to the overly grotesque. I hope they just don’t make her just icky. She walks that fine line. Hopefully, we get to see those characters taken to the limits that Barb has taken.”

Carolyn also mentioned that her sixth novel in her young adult series, Pandora, was just released on June 5, 2012, entitled, “Pandora Gets Jealous.” You can get the book at AMAZON, as well as her other novels, including “The Secret Life of Damien Spinelli,” featuring various GH characters.
