True Blood casting news-We'll see Eric's sister in Season 5

It may be over half a year until the fifth season of True Blood hits screens, but production has already recently begun, and with that comes the yearly barrage of new characters and cast members. Causing much excitement and intrigue last week was the news that British actress Lucy Griffiths (also seen in the BBC's television series version of Robin Hood) has been cast as the vampire sibling to...Eric Northman! And by sibling we mean that like Eric, she is a progeny of the sadly departed Godric, and not a sister from his human life. 

In addition to being stunning, the character of Nora is reported as being intelligent and gifted in the art of deceit, which I guess would come in handy if you're a double agent in the Authority, which is apparently what she is. Whether or not that turns out to be true come all the way next June we'll have to see, but the idea of Eric having a sister is a very entertaining prospect, the character sounds interesting and I look forward to seeing Lucy on the show!
