True Blood star Carrie Preston recently revealed where she would like her character Arlene to end up in the upcoming final season of the show.

Preston told The Hollywood Reporter in a Friday report that she hopes Arlene will be more independent going into season 7.

"I hope they don't pair her up with somebody," she admitted. "I'd like to see her be a strong woman and be OK in the world as a mom and an owner of a business and not be someone who doesn't feel complete if she doesn't have a man. This would be a nice evolution for her."

In season 6, Arlene became the owner of Bellefleur's Bar and Grill, taking over for former owner Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell). Preston said that the show would get back to its origins in the final season.

"I'm really just as excited as the fans to see where they take us," she explained. "We're in good hands and I feel like it's the right thing to do to end the show when the stories are really strong still and really put all of our energies into making it the best season that we've ever had and go out on a high instead of trailing along like a lot of shows do just to keep it going."

Very little has been revealed about True Blood's seventh and final season. Showrunner Brian Buckner announced that despite Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) nearly burning to death in the season 6 finale, he would be returning for season 7. Additionally, numerous recurring actors have been promoted to series regular status.

True Blood is expected to return for season 7 in summer 2014.
