Who remembers True Blood? Despite being developed in the middle of a vampire/werewolf craze, the show enjoys glowing reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, one thing audiences know is that it's difficult to make a story about vampires work without normal humans to bounce off of, and Lynn Collins served that purpose — although she only lasted a few episodes until she was demoted to "women in refrigerator" status.
In True Blood, Collins portrays the waitress Dawn Green, who has a relationship with protagonist Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten). Many scenes involving Dawn and Jason, or just Dawn in general, consist of them talking about or actually making out. Jason eventually discovers bite marks on Dawn's neck, but that plot thread goes nowhere. Moreover, Dawn's role quickly changes from love interest/potential vampire to corpse; she is killed in the episode "Mine," and Jason is blamed for her death. True Blood quickly reveals that Dawn was killed by the serial killer Drew Marshall (Michael Raymond-James), and that vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård) bit her.
Collins' run on True Blood only lasted six episodes, but another thing fans know is you can't make a vampire story without spilling some blood, and she served that purpose too.
