First Look at Scott Foley on "True Blood" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 06-21-2011, 04:51 PM

True Blood‘s fourth season hasn’t even gotten underway yet and already Alan Ball is making plans for a likely fifth — big plans.

Sources confirm to TVLine exclusively that tube MVP Scott Foley is joining the cast in a major recurring role that will kick off in the Season 4 finale and, assuming the show gets renewed (duh, it will), continue into Season 5.

The Felicity and Unit alum — who spent a good part of last season playing husband to Kim Raver’s Teddy on Grey’s Anatomy — will tackle the role of Patrick, a tough and ruggedly attractive old army buddy of Terry’s (Todd Lowe) who pays him a visit.

The gig is not expected to derail Foley’s expected return to Grey’s this fall since his TB debut is slated to shoot later this month and the ABC hit doesn’t resume production until July.

Interesting casting, I wonder if his character will be a normal one or not?

Who Will Scott Foley Play in "True Blood"?

June 29, 2011

Shortly before "True Blood" premiered the first episode of its fourth season, it was revealed Scott Foley was joining the cast. Albeit for the season's final episode.

Should the show return for a fifth season (and that's looking likely), Foley's character will expand. But who will he play?

Tom Ausiello at TV Line got the scoop and writes:

"He was Terry’s platoon leader in Iraq," says Ball of Foley’s character, Patrick. "So they share a military history." (Rumor has it Terry saved Patrick’s life not once but twice.)

Foley will debut in the Season 4 finale and then recur throughout Season 5.

Ball, meanwhile, confirms that a deal is not yet in place for him to return as showrunner for a fifth season.

"I’m negotiating," he says. Of course, HBO hasn’t renewed the show itself — but Ball isn’t worried.

"There are no plans for this show to end. I’m pretty sure there will be at least one more season, if not more. It seems like it has a lot of life in it still."

There’s just a few episodes left and if you were wondering when Scott Foley would show up, then let the finger-tapping stop now.

Scott Foley appears on the Season 4 finale airing Sept. 11. His character, Patrick, will reunite with his old military buddy, Terry (Todd Lowe). The appearance will kick off a storyline between Patrick and Terry that extends into the next season.
