ANYTHING can happen in ‘True Blood’ season finale, co-star says

With “True Blood” ending its fifth season tomorrow night on HBO, series co-star Lauren Bowles, who plays Wiccan waitress Holly Cleary, says anything can happen.

“When I got this script and I read through it I literally gasped out loud at least four times — when do you do that when you’re alone?” says Bowles. “The [season] finale is off-the-hook — and I can say that quite confidently.”

Bowles says she’s glad that viewers got to know more about Holly’s private life this season in tandem with her blossoming relationship withSheriff Andy (Chris Bauer).

“Holly and Andy’s relationship is going to come to somewhat of a head [tomorrow night],” she says. “Some huge things happen that are kind of game-changers.

“What’s been fun is that last season we learned so much about her Wiccan life, and this season it’s been a lot more about her personal life,” she says. “We got to meet her kids and watch her relationship with Andy bloom.

“It’s always fun as an actor to get a more three-dimensional side of a character.”

Bowles and her husband, actor Patrick Fischler, are shooting a short film called “The Test” — written by Bowles, who says she’d like to work again with her half-sister, Julia Louis-Dreyfus (they appered together on “Seinfeld,” “The New Adventures of Old Christine” and “Watching Ellie”).

“God bless her, she got me my SAG card and got Larry [David] to write me the lovely waitress part on ‘Seinfeld,’ ” Bowles says. What’s so funny is that we grew up in DC and they shoot her show [HBO’ s “Veep”] in Baltimore.

“I always dream of going back East. I’d love to work with her again.”
