We already know who is coming back, in some capacity, for season five of True Blood. But who will join this character in Bon Temps?

Producer Raelle Tucker offered a lot of insight into next summer via a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, teasing a number of arrivals and upcoming storylines. To wit:

• We'll meet "a very significant, strong, mysterious woman at the center of one of our main stories next year,” says Tucker. “It may be someone you’ve heard of before.”
• The show will visit the fairy world again - a dropped storyline that angered us in the most recent True Blood Round Table - as the season "will explore more fairies, new fairies, fairies in a way you haven’t really seen fairies."
• The wolf that growled at Sam to conclude season four will be identified.
• Russell Edgington? He'll return, Tucker confirmed:"It’s safe to assume the king of Mississippi is not gone for good.” 
• Sookie will remain single.
• The consequences of Bill and Eric teaming up to kill Nan "are going to chase them for a while next year.”
