True Blood creator Alan Ball has a message for fans awaiting the third season of his hit show:

Someone... will... die!

"Somebody is going to bite the dust and it's going to be really good to see them get what they deserve," Ball told TVGuide.com.

Ball added that "it's a person we'll be happy to see go," leading us to guess the victim will be Pam, Eric's mean-spirited second hand.

Renewed for at least one more season, True Blood returns in the summer of 2010.
