'True Blood' co-star to Jump Ship to ABC - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

From vampires to ... more conventional blood-suckers.

"True Blood" co-star Mehcad Brooks has joined ABC's midseason legal drama "The Deep End" as a regular.

On the show, set at a prestigious L.A. law firm, Brooks will play a new character, Malcolm Bennet, an associate at the firm.

The casting raises questions about the future of his "True Blood" character, Benedict "Eggs" Talley, who was introduced in the first-season finale.

Brooks was then promoted to regular for the vampire drama's second season and has been prominently featured on the show this summer.

Brooks, who also co-starred on ABC's "Desperate Housewives," is repped by Innovative and Mosaic.

Sounds like his character will probably bite the dust on True Blood doesn't it?

Sorry, Tara, but won't miss him when he's gone. I'm tired of the whole MaryAnn storyline.
