It’s good to see that Netflix is taking Daredevil seriously, and looking for good actors, instead of actors who say yes. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Deborah Ann Woll – Jessica on True Blood, but I probably don’t have to tell you that, Internet – has joined Netflix’s new series in the role of Karen Page, whom EW describes thusly:

In the Daredevil comics, Page is the longest-running love interest of Daredevil’s alter ego Matt Murdock, having been introduced in the series’ first issue. The character was briefly glimpsed in the Daredevil film, but this is the first time she’ll be actively portrayed on screen.

Here’s a shitty screengrab of Ellen Pompeo playing Karen Page in 2003’s Daredevil:

And here’s a gif of Deborah Ann Woll on True Blood:

I think this will work out juuuust fine.
