Lafayette Reynolds played by Nelsan Ellis

[Replies: 739]
Not your typical short-order grill cook, Lafayette flips his burgers in club clothes and eye makeup. But any good 'ol boy customers at Merlotte's who mistake his fashion sense as an invitation for harassment have got another thing coming - Lafayette isn't afraid to thrown down. With his many shady sideline businesses and personal connections, he has plenty to fall back on.

Nelsan is just too much fun to watch. If the writers should kill him off, they'll have to make him a vamp. Otherwise I'll be peeved.
I won't be surprised if they turn him. He might even meet a nice vamp that wants to keep him around.

my guess he didn't want Maryann to hear, and I guess they were playing it all by ear.... they did have the plan of him turning into a bull, and Bill would give him blood to save him..... It was a chance they both had to take... and they knew it might not work....How melodramatic!

You are right ... Laf did the head, and Tara did the egg ...

Eggs used the knife ...

Still do not know why Bill just did not tell Sookie to dump the tree and egg after the initial cut in Sam ... why poor sam have to moan it in his head?

I just wanted to say, love Lafayette and love the actor who portrays him. Viva both of them...

I hope we get our "old Lafayette" back next season, though. I hope he throws off his PTSD like a tacky knockoff dress, and struts his stuff again.

(I do not mean to sound flippant about ptsd, but this is fiction and anything is possible.)

Nelsan truly deserved the Best Supporting Actor Emmy... I know he wasn't nominated, but I nominate him!

Best this past year!!

"Who ordered the AIDS burger?"

Awesome!

K... the first 30 mins I wasn't the biggest fan of UNTIL

Laffy put the egg on the statue and said worship bitches!

OH MY Lord! I spit pop all over my coffee table! That was just CLASSIC! God I LOVE Laffy!

Oh I be a huge Ian fan... although I didnt go to NY to see him in his play.

Whoa, whoa, whoat... see him play what hun? I can't imagine him in a band... I can see him hitting people with guitars just not stumming one. :-p

I do still like to follow his movies....Kings was pretty good it was sad it was canceled

yeah he was the only good part in Hot rod... **snickers** yes I saw that piece.. .yeah I watched the last 3 episodes then bam it's gone... I think the lack of promotion hurt the show. Hell dollhouse was picked up for another year and that show blows so I dunno how they figure that crap out.

Thanks for that Tessa!

Vampirism has nothing to do with religeon.

**Book Spoiler**

Remember is one of the later books, there's an Vampire Cook working at Merlottes. And Lafayette was gone. Maybe they'll go that direction. Though I would rather they didn't.
