Carrie Preston’s will be starting on this weeks Law & Order, SVU and apparently her role of Elsbeth Tascioni’s on The Good Wife apparently is far from finished. We wonder how that might effect her True Blood role of Arlene.
News of Preston’s latest Good Wife gig (November 6) comes on the eve of the her starring a role on NBC’s Law & Order: SVU, which airs this Wednesday at 10/9c.
In ‘Educated Guess’ (Wed., Nov. 16, 10PM ET on NBC), Preston plays Bella, the aunt of a troubled young woman, Gia, played by Natasha Lyonne. Bella and her husband George (Tim Guinee) took in Bella’s sister, Diane (J. Smith Cameron) and Gia after some family problems.
Below are some excerpts from an interview with Carrie where she talks about working on and her future with ‘The Good Wife’ and what’s next on ‘True Blood.“
I’ve converted a lot of my friends to ‘Good Wife’ viewers and I told them I’d be talking to you and they said, “Shut up! She was so good, can she come back?” I said, “I’ll ask!”
I’m trying, I’m trying! It’s so complicated because I’m on ‘True Blood’ and that shoots in LA and ‘The Good Wife’ shoots in New York. But I’m hoping and hopeful that there will be a time when I get to come back. [UPDATE: Preston will be back on 'The Good Wife' later this year, according to TVLine]
It took a season for you to come back, but it was worth the wait.
I know, I know! It was worth the wait for me too. They’re such wonderful people and the writing is really kind of unparalleled I think in some ways. It’s just so good.
Going to ‘True Blood’ real quick: I know you guys have read the new script. What can you tell me?
I can’t tell you anything. [Laughs]
I know there are a lot of werewolves coming to town.
Wow, OK. There are a lot of new characters, as is always the case with ‘True Blood.’ You will get some quick answers right off the bat. The show is not going to leave you wondering about some of the cliffhangers.
Have we seen the last of the demon baby in terms of possession?
I have no idea. [Laughs]
That was a very creepy storyline at some points.
It was, it was. I didn’t even know where it was going.
