If you saw the Season 7 premiere of True Blood than you saw Tara die. OK! So technically she died off screen, but still. Now Tara actress Rutina Wesley has opened up to Variety about her characters death:
“It's kind of fun. It wouldn't be True Blood if someone didn't die in the final season. I've loved my journey on this show, so I have no regrets. It's like, "Okay, cool! Let's do it!" And I got this amazing kick-ass fight. I love that she went out winning, and then you cut to the scene where you just see Lettie Mae, and you realize I lost the fight. “
Death is constant part of True Blood. Wesley went on to explain how the show sends characters off:
“I love how all the death scenes have been amazing, like when we lost Terry last season, and the funeral they had for him. I think they really sent him off nicely. And during that table read, everyone kind of lost it, when we got to the part where Arlene was singing for him. I think we clapped for a good ten minutes for him, or if not ten minutes, for a really long time. We cried and sent him off well. That's kind of the atmosphere at our table reads, and it's so beautiful, that we could have that environment, and the space to be in these scenes….I got some applause, too. I remember it was really sad. I remember crying, especially when Lettie Mae was like, ‘They killed her, my baby girl.’ I loved working with Adina [Porter]. She always brought out the best in me, and just hearing how she connected to the scene, I was crying. Everybody was crying. Kristin [Bauer] was crying.”
