Carrie wears a red wig on the show, and described what happened when she went to work each day with her natural blonde hair. “People who I worked with for two seasons would say hi and introduce themselves to me,” she laughed. “Next season I’ll ditch the wig and use my own hair,” Carrie told RadarOnline.com.

Playing the role of Arlene Fowler adds the comic relief to the vampire show. “They love how funny she is,” Carrie said of her fans. “I’m serving up the comedy on the show.” She admits that her wish for her character is “to become supernatural. It doesn’t happen in the books,” she said, but hey, it’s TV, they can change that.
