When it was first announced that actor Luke Grimes had left the cast of "True Blood," it was allegedly over creative differences. Now, a new report claims those "differences" stemmed from a gay plotline. Buzzfeed reports that Grimes -- who previously played James, the vampire boyfriend of Jessica Deborah Ann Woll -- quit because the Season 7 script of the vampire-centric HBO show included a romance between his character and the openly gay Lafayette Nelsan Ellis. A source told Buzzfeed that Grimes was willing to play the role so long as "Lafayette [was] attracted to him, but not if the attraction was mutual. Grimes' publicist, Craig Schneider, told Buzzfeed the year-old dropped the show over scheduling and chose to pursue other opportunities, including "Fifty Shades of Grey" and "American Sniper. Schneider was not immediately available for further comment when contacted by The Huffington Post.

This article is from the archive of our partner. At the time of last Sunday's season premiere of True Blood —its last ever—the most controversial thing about the episode seemed to be viewers' inability to decide if it was brilliant or horrible. For whatever reason the mainstream turned on the show in a big way around Season 4 and every subsequent year has inspired more and more vitriol. But a long view of the series shows that it began as a frequently laughable exercise in insanity and has never wavered from that mission, so those claiming a drop-off in quality are very much misremembering its origins.
