Emmy-winner Alfre Woodard - who appeared for an extended run on Desperate Housewives during the 2005-06 season - has landed the role of Lafayette's mother. This also means she's Tara's aunt, of course.
Speaking of Tara, her third season love interest has been cast: James Frain will portray the vampire Franklin Mott, a character from the book series that acted as Tara's sugar daddy. HBO casting notices describe Mott as "handsome" and as someone with an “immediate and torrid” connection to Tara.
