The HBO hit has sent out the following casting notice, as it seeks an actress to play the character of Caroline Compton. She's in her 20s and described as:

Seen in 1866, a lovely, very strong, brave, well-bred and well-spoken Southern woman, Caroline pulls a shotgun on the intruder into her house - clearly prepared to use it - till she realizes it's her husband Bill, whom she was sure had died in the War.

Show creator Alan Ball hasn't been shy discussing other season three True Blood spoilers.

The drama doesn't premiere until the summer of 2010, but it's never too early to get psyched for one of the most exhilarating shows in TV history.
