OK. So Lafayette was not my favorite character in the books, but in the series this guys is just fantastic. I love his flamboyance and confidence. They couldn't have found a better actor to play the role. Nelson Ellis brings Lafayette to life in a way I didn't expect when I first started watching the show.

I agree. I wasn't expecting to love Lafayette either. He has had the best lines on the show. AIDS Burger anyone? :lol:

I loved the way he took off his earrings when he was on his way out to confronts the rednecks. Classic.

Hallelujus Hallelujus girlfriend. He was hands down the BEST change to the book characters.

I adored Lafayette and Nelsan Ellis is a helluva scene stealer. I think my fave scenes of the first season were all tied to Lafayette in one way or another. I have friends who were all about the Bill/Sookie relationship, or seeing Jason and his nekkid self every week, but Lafayette cracked me up.

Must be a recurring theme for me - the characters I loved from this show make no apologies for what they are. Love 'em, great. Hate 'em they could care less.

I gotta sign that petition. If they're going to change the story anyway, he'd be the one thing I'd love to keep on the show. Can you imagine him as a vamp? OMG. :D

I think Lafayette was the least anticipated best developed character on the show. The actor who plays him did a phenomenal job at making this character his own and making the audience care about him. I do hope they keep him on.
