True Blood Season 3 Spoiler: Eric and Sookie Getting Hot?

Michael Ausiello from EW.com is reporting some very juicy spoiler information regarding the fate of Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) in the season 3 of True Blood.  Based on the answers he provide to some fans’ questions it seems we may be seeing some very intense scenes between Sookie and Eric.

Question: I’m on my hands and knees begging for some True Blood news! —Nick

Ausiello: The show is currently shooting episode 6, penned by executive producer Alan Ball. And guess what? It contains what Ball describes as an “intense” Sookie/Eric moment. “Let’s put it this way,” he adds, “I think people will have strong feelings about it.” In possibly related news, Ball told TV Guide that “Sookie is sexually drawn to [Eric] because she’s had his blood. But there is another reason he’s drawn to her, one that will be revealed this season.”

Question: The promo tease for True Blood’s third season shows Eric with noticeably darker hair. Why? —Jody

Ausiello: “Because when vampires keep secrets from humans that they love, their hair follicles turn darker,” deadpans Alan Ball. “And that’s especially true if they’re carrying a torch for a blond waitress.” Very funny. The real reason, please? “Alexander made a movie during his hiatus and his hair was darker when he returned,” explains Ball with a laugh. “It wasn’t a choice [we made].”

So True Blood fans what do you think of this new bit of information and does it the mean the end of Bill and Sookie? Let the speculating begin, but remember please keep it civil and don’t knock anyone down and no name-calling.

Hey, killing Eric is no good, no way. I’ve being waiting for he and Sookie get together. I want to see this relationship begin: those two fight, respect each other and are sooooo hot together!

pbt

Woohoo 11 more days until the Season premiere.

Antonio

Jaxx You’re Incredible! Thanks much for your keen explanation!
I havent read the books so i did not know about the Bill-kidnap-Lorena thing! I would not have known about Bill’s involvement with QSA if fans of the book series hadnt mentioned it.
It seemed quite apparent that QSA was curious about Sookie and her powers and wanted to exploit her to her own advantage?
I liked the way that you elaborated on this.
You’re right Perhaps AB Will go another way with this
He saw something about Bill a redeeming quality?
He is a brilliant writer and Mr.Moyer is a wonderfully gifted actor as is Mr. Skarsgard and Mr.Trammell
It will be interesting Indeed to see What unfolds
Go TB!!
as of Tonight Only 10 DAYS left to the S3 premiere Can You Believe It??!
Thanks Again Jaxx
🙂

Antonio

Good Point! I have wondered about this,Too! I have not read Any of the books But i have been given to understand that Bill’s mission was to seduce Sookie and bring her back to the queen so that she could explore and utilize her special “abilities” perhaps for herself? Shielding her from the truth will Not protect her or keep her safe Especially if QSA feels that shes getting a “raw deal” from Bill!
Perhaps he did fall in love with her but that wouldnt change what his mission was about. Watch Bill’s face in the early part of S2! After Sookie confronts him about her Uncle Bartlett
She says that he lied to her about this ~~~she was PO-ed when she found out about Jessica,too! “Thats Not protectin me thats lyin to me!” When she says “What Else have you been lyin to me about?” Watch Bill’s facial expression “Nuthin!” he says looking away from her with a suspicious look in his eye like he Was hiding something else!!
This is a Very lucid point! I’ve wondered about this myself
What Does keep him with Sookie Love for her OR Obedience to the Queen’s orders??
Something to think about

I have been watching my season 2! Finally! Anyways…Eric is more interesting in this one….More ..feelings…Esp. with Godric..When he was made and when Godric wants to die..He was really good, both of them. Him and Sookie…Pretty good…Of course..I’m still a Bill fan!! Really I don’t care who gets Sookie?? I like the Bad Boy Vampires, with any women!!? Sam looks better with his hair a little darker..he looked pretty good, too…..I am so, going to get HBO for season 3!! I can’t wait another year!! Gotta love True Blood!!

Lizzie, I appreciate your comment. Contary to popular belief, I do not hate Bill. I know he has done wrong and he severely regrets what has happened between him and Sookie and he has since book 3 tried to gain back Sookie’s trust and love. I can see his struggle and do feel badly for him or anyone in that state. You are right, there are 3 more books after Dead in the Family. Knowing CH ANYTHING can happen. For all we know, Bill could still win out at the end. Is it too late, no one knows but CH??? So for now, I will just enjoy Eric and Sookie’s love story and see where it goes. It ends how it ends, I guess.

We should all enjoy TB. I personally cannot wait for S3 to start. New plots, new and old characters, it’s like a high school reunion. LOL Less than two months to go.

Love who you love and don’t let anyone talk you out of it. 🙂

Thanks Jaxx, for your comments. I do understand where you are coming from. I guess Bill is a product of his era from when he was turned. He is the man of the house, the protector who looked after all the problems. Eric has progressed but Bill still retains his old personal traits. He does not want to hurt Sookie and really, we should admire this trait, misguided as it is. It should not be a reason to hate him with a passion. I like Eric and think he has some admirable traits along with his not so admirable traits. I do not call him names or spat on AS and I do appreciate Eric for what his is. He just does not turn me on. Bill does, so I will champion Bill. I understand where he is coming from and will give him my support. Funny – this is a fictional character, but it is like these characters are real! Anyhow, I will not read any more of CH’s books. I find them hard to read and lose interest and have to do catch up all the time. I will concentrate on TB. So let’s enjoy what we enjoy!

Go True Blood!

pbt

While I agree Ollie that the name of the show is not the Sookie Stackhouse show and it is True Blood. To say that the show is not about Sookie is a little misleading. It does deal with Sookie and the rest of the residents of Bon Temps.

Primarily Sookie’s friends and co workers (Arlene, Laffy, Tara), Sookie’s boss (Sam), Sookie’s relatives (Gran, Jason and Hadley), Sookie’s fiance (Bill) and all of the people Sookie meets along the way in her adventures in the shape shifter and vampire worlds (Eric, Pam, Chow, Alcide, QSA).

Yes, having favorite characters is troublesome. But I suppose that is why we are here discussing the show. “Commando Bill/Team Bill” and Team Eric Northman/Viking Vampire God will not readily disappear. But we can agree to enjoy the differences and the similarities. It’s a great set of books and a great television show. We can probably almost agree on that.

Just my opinion and two cents here! 🙂

pbt

Thanks Jaxx, very well said as always. Diplomatic as usual! I agree that I look forward to all that Season Three will dish up. If Alan Ball is cooking this up you know we are in for a whole lot of craziness. Not Maryann craziness though! LOL

58 days folks. As True Blood says “Waiting Sucks!”

Lizzie, we still don’t know if AB is going to follow Book Bill’s storyline re QSA and what she asked him to do in the book. It may be a totally different plot so it’s hard to have this conversation at this time. After the 1st episode of S3, we should know where we stand and what the issues are. Then we can revisit the TB version of your questions.

If you’re talking just books, then, jimo, Bill should have handled Sookie’s situation differently. I understand at first he was given an order by the Queen directly which has to be followed, but she did say she wanted Sookie under her regime and to have her work for her, no matter what, even if Bill had to seduce her to do it, this was just a last resort the queen suggested to win Sookie over, didn’t mean Bill had to seduce her, Sookie was already in love with him before they spent the night together. Ok, he knew what the mission was but at the point where he really did fall in love with her, if I were him, I would have sat her down and told her the truth about what’s going on so things wouldn’t spin out of control in the books like they did. I think Sookie would have at least heard him out and thought about it and I think Bill could have persuaded Sookie to help the Queen out, especially if her cousin Hadley was involved. I would have told Sookie the Queen knows about you through Hadley and wants you under her employ. Yes, she sent me here for a mission but I did fall in love with you and I wanted to be upfront with you and tell you that I truly did fall in love with you and your not just a “job” to me. The Queen wanted me to gain your trust and I just don’t feel right about deceiving you anymore. This way the deception would have been minimal, the hurt feelings would have been minimal, but I think Sookie would have thought about it and respected him for telling her the truth so early on and if it were explained to her, I think she may have wanted to help Bill and the Queen out and respected Bill for his honesty. But deception and lies, one after another, then the Book Lorena thing, just ruined him for me. In the books at this point, did he really love Sookie? Was it that easy to go back to his maker and fall in love with her again? Did he respect Sookie so little that he did this on the sly and not even tell her what was happening and then try to just leave her money and walk away??

Sookie never would have found out about the QSA deal if Eric didn’t make Bill tell her the truth, 5 books later, and we’re just talking books here. Bill is a much sweeter and nicer Bill in TB than in the books, so far. We’ll see what comes out in S3.

And, yes, Eric is cunning, manipulative, used to getting what he wants, but, the difference for me is that he doesn’t lie to Sookie. He tells her the truth whether she wants to hear it or not, whether it may hurt her feelings at the time or not.

When she needs to know something, he will tell her on a “need to know basis”. To me, that’s not a lie, I think he does this as a protection method, the less she knows, the better for her protection. He is loyal to those who are loyal to him. He has proven that in both TB and the books.

I don’t know about anyone else’s reasoning for your questions, but this is mine and I hope you can understand why I feel the way I do about Eric at this point as far as the books go. We’ll have to re-evaluate the show after S3 airs. Could be a completely different scenario. 🙂

trixie

He may be loyal to the queen, but by not telling Sookie the truth about his mission, he proves to be MORE loyal to SA than to his beloved, who should be his priority …his lie does not protect sookie, because she is bound to find out at some point,and anyway, it’s not like being oblivious makes her safer!
And when the time comes to complete his task, whatever that may be, what is he planning to do? If I was her, I’d want to know what situation I’m in…

Antonio

From the pic of Eric and Sookie taken from S3 It looks like Sookie will have some kind of a repoire with Eric. She may need his help to find Bill and if Alcide “misbehaves” she may need him also. Eric May have to step in as protector for her Now that Bill is gone for a while. Alan Ball and the writers do a fine job What I meant to say that WhereEver They take us on this journey Even If it means a flirtation Or something More I’ll be there watching. We All have our favorites and there will be changes yes for most of them…These may be hard for some to watch (As WAS the WHOLE Maryann orgy “take over the town” thing!) Lets just sit back,relax and permit AB to take us through yet another magical season Irregardless of Who cozies up with Who! Go TB!!!

Lizzie 1701

pbt, you and others keep saying that Eric is loyal and you admire this trait. Yet, Bill, if he is working for the Queen, does it out of loyalty and he is loyal to Eric (he does not bad mouth him and respects him as his sheriff), yet you all condemn Bill for the same virtues. How come? Why is there a difference? I mean loyalty is loyalty and should not loyalty be respected?? It does seem that Bill is between a rock and a hard place and that is why I will always champion him.

Ollie Chong aka AdoreBill

LOL I guess this is where we disagree because the show is NOT about Sookie. Alan Ball himself stated in an old interview what attracted him to the books was BILL and the themes that played in it, acceptance, discrimination, finding that is lost, etc. The show is NOT only about Bill but then again according to your statement you make it sound as the show only only about SOOKIE and her adventures. This is NOT the SOOKIE Stackhouse series otherwise the title of the show would be different and that is why the show has a different name. The show is an ensemble show focusing on different themes and I guess I just take issue when this “team” stuff or pecked order of one character over another. It is a great show and all this favoritism of one character over the other just seems take away the fun. 🙂

Antonio

Ok I can understand your strong feelings for Bill. I wouldnt want to see him get hurt either really. Eric IS an “alpha male” Bill is not. There can Only be 1 Alpha male in a pack or given situation. In Twilight,for example,Jacob Black challenged Sam Ulley for Alpha Male and head of the pack. Sam U. had been undisputed pack leader for a long time even before Jacob discovered his “gift”. Eventually,Jacob formed his “own” pack with Leah and Seth and then a few others over time.

I did champion Bill Yes but a face-off between these 2 vamps is,I feel,Inevitable! In order to establish dominance,like in the animal kingdom, Eric must trump Bill (as if he hasnt Been doing that from the beginning) Recall that scene at Fangtasia when Bill stepped out of line with Eric? He said something almost in a threatening tone and Eric gave him Such a Dirty Look and then got right in his face and sneered “What Did YOU Say To ME?! Even I got the chills as Bill was intimidated by Eric (WHO wouldnt be?) As for Eric movin in on another guys gal?
Eric IS the sheriff and an authority figure who outranks Bill!
As Eric has said again and again if he wanted her that badly he could just take her. Eric Will try to make this “Bill-less” situation to his advantage whether he had something to do with it or not! Thats just the kind of vampire that he is!
I’d like to see Sookie grow toward some kind of close relationship with Eric. Not neccesarily a “hookup” per say but a real relationship even if he becomes a friend and an ally for her. A triangle or even a flat out face-off will keep the drama going and the fans interested! Im Not taking sides,1 against the other, I would just like to see how the story develops and see Miss Stackhouse grow and explore her options as she must!
Its Because Bill loves her that he will fight for her!
Remember how Sookie was just about to “give up” on Bill near the end of S1 ” Where Is He? If Vampire politics mean More to him than Me.” She then shot a warm galnce at Sam and said something about the 2 of them going away somewhere in a convertible Did she not? At That time it seemed that she was convinced that A. He wasnt coming back B. He Dumped her
Which is WHY she was SO angry with Bill when he showed up on her doorstep came in and started brawling with Sam!
Eric may very well be what she needs to get through this difficult period!
Eric IS fascinated with Sookie! Who knows Why? Something about her maybe he does desire her maybe he feels something for her
Who knows? Will it hurt Bill? Undoubtedly! But he must let Her choose for herself! Only She can decide who is best for her!
Edward was willing to give up his beloved Bella. He wanted HER happiness Even if it meant losing her to Jacob!
It was precisely Because Edward was willing to “let her be” that she came to love him Even more! Sookie was somewhat hesitant to answer Bill when he proposed to her. She has to do some soul searching and she should find out what and who she is!
In Bill’s absence,She will rediscover her strengths and weaknesses. I know that you are worried about Bill and what this may do to him But for me This is SO Not about Bill!
Its about Sookie and whats best for HER!
I wouldnt necessarily choose Eric over Bill but Sookie over Bill!
This is just MHO.

Ollie Chong aka AdoreBill

I guess perhaps that is why I prefer the Bill character because even though he ceased to be human and was made vampire he is trying to regain some of his humanity back and hates what vampires represent. 🙂

missyella

Hi Ollie,

I feel that this notion of civility is misplaced in the Vampire world, a Vampire is only loyal to his or her Maker, so this idea of Eric finding his own girl is an anathema……he is the Sheriff, just like the Queen is the Queen. He wants, she wants and gets will leave other Vampires in no doubt as to their status in their world…..

Bill thinking and behaving like he has just stepped out of the pages of a Margaret Mitchell Novel, is so old fashioned….he knows how Vampires behave, he has no doubt seen a lot via Lorena and others over the Centries.

He ceased being that sort of Human when he was made Vampire and he must remember that no matter how hard he tries to have some humanity, he is now first and foremost a VAMPIRE………..

jaxx

Lizzie, you do bring up a good point. I think we should wait and see what S3 brings and then discuss this again once S3 is over.

Everyone: speculation is fun BUT maybe we should put this sensitive discussion on hold until we know exactly what AB is doing with all our characters and situations this season. I can sense a lot of hurt feelings already, but we don’t even know if they’re justified or not. Everyone has been getting along so well lately, I just don’t want to see this all go sour over situations that we haven’t even seen yet or know the outcome of yet.

JIMO, maybe we should table this discussion until S3 is over????

Isis Nocturne

Well said, Ollie, Lizzie, and Nia!

I also need to remind you guys of something, since I watched the first season’s finale last night. In that episode, Eric and Pam drop their side of the bargain for watching Jessica, and Bill reacts negatively. Eric’s response? To laugh at Bill then tell him if he wants to have Jessica stay at Fangtasia, then Bill needs to GIVE Sookie to him. That is NOT how someone in love acts!

Eric’s response is petty and childish. He acts like some of the wealthier teenagers out by me act. They believe that everything they want should be theirs simply because they want it. That’s not mature, and that Eric acts like that after over 1,000 years of experience is simply disgusting to me. I expect that someone who has lived that long should be mature, not someone who shows of the worst parts of a wealthy teenager’s personality.

Yes Nia, you are right; I too prefer class over flash.

Nia

Morning all….”waving furiously”!!
All the characters of TB are wonderful. Each to his or her own strengths.

Sam is a great guy, all around friend and yes a potential mate for Sookie. Yet, he knew her for YEARS, why did not something happen sooner between them???? True love should almost be an instantaneous attraction (as with Bill and Sookie). As Sookie said to Sam (not an exact quote), “It took someone else showing an interest in me for you to ask me out”. Would Sam be good for Sookie? In a different circumstance, I think he would. But as things stand now, no.
I wish the best for Sam. He is such a good person.

Eric we have not seen enough of yet, but what we have seen has not been in the best light, in fact it has been reprehensible.

Is there more to him?? Possibly, yet usually a leopard cannot change his spots (perhaps a good strong cleaning solution may do the trick, but doubtful). Eric, as I have said before, has shown mostly qualitities not befitting a hero.

His only redeeming quality was a love and loyalty to his maker that showed a brief vulnerable side to him. But now that that maker is gone, so went any compassion that Eric had at all. Will it come back?? Well that is for the seasons and AB to decide.

Perhaps this nagging, I dont understand the words, I want therefore I must have at any cost, I will betray any one that gets in my way, feeling (wait according to Pam, they have no feelings?????) he is experiencing for Sookie may bring back these vulnerable characteristics for Eric.

Then again why would he want to have these feelings???? He loves and exhalts in being a vampire. He is not looking to change. So how could love for a human be good for him or Sookie. Is this what Sookie would want??
Much to consier.

Now since you all know where my heart lies, I save the best for last. Bill is a vampire, turned against his will. forced to lead his unlife like a monster, yet finding the courage, on his own, to turn back from that life, hopefully to find his way back to some semblance of what he was. A good man. A noble character if ever there was one.

Is he perfect, no (but hot dam he comes close). Does he make mistakes? Yes. Has he kept the truth at times, from Sookie? Yes. But always he felt what he did was to protect her, never to hurt her. In this he still thinks like a vampire. Those instincts ingrained in him for 140 years will be hard to break from but I give him credit for trying.

Does he love Sookie with all his dark heart? Absolutely, and he UNDERSTANDS THE WORDS. He has said so and Sookie has reciprocated that love in words and actions.

Why anyone would want to see true love, and desire like that diminished by something so awful as another relationship forced upon someone and based on trickery, deciet, and betrayal is beyond me.

Maybe we will see a side to Eric better than what we have seen thus far, but that still does not excuse his behavior towards Bill (and others) and what Eric already knew, that Bill was in love with Sookie. Eric knew this from S1, when Bill saved Sookie from Longshadow. Yet he does not care, he only wishes to aquire that which he has been denied thus far, no matter what the cost and who he hurts in the process.

A man/vamp who behaves that way can never earn my respect.

Eric, find your own girl….

Bill…..”You can have anyone you want, why do you want her?” ERic…..”Why do you want her, you are not in love with her?”

Eric replies this to Bill with a smirk on his face and laughing at him while probably thinking….that a vampire should love a human…..how unbelievably rediculous and demeaning for a vampire.

Eric I have not forgotten and I still see those spots.

Oh and BTW, I have seen many posts about Eric possibly sitting in the infamous red corvette from what we can gather from the spoiler photos.
Well, IMO I will always prefer Bill and his BMW……
Class is better than flash!

Lizzie 1701

Hi Ollie, I’m right with you on this one! Eric is supposed to be this ‘big man’ yet he can’t even get his own girl but has to trick one into getting into him? What type of romance is that? Cutting Bill’s grass is something to be ashamed of, rather than screaming with glee!

Anyhow, I don’t care about who else Sookie will end up with – I only care about Bill and what it will do to him. Sookie is becoming the Book Sookie and truthfully, not a favourite character. I just care about Bill and he loves Sookie and I just don’t want to see the hurt and misery she will bring to him because of Eric trickery. AB has taken specific care to show us how Bill is regaining his humanity with Sookie and has shown us their love – an intense love, and for fans to gleefully take that away from them and glorify in the Eric and Sookie hookup without any thought for what it will do to Bill, makes me sad.

Antonio! Not long ago you were a champion of Bill. Looks like you are a turn coat – following for what you perceive to be the winning team. Let us see S3 play out and then we can talk.

Go Team True Blood, Go Bill!!!!!!

jaxx

Oh Ollie, I completely understand your feelings. I think the show has to mix things up though to keep everyone interested. If AB does somewhat follow the books, E/S will eventually happen, BUT Bill will be fighting to win Sookie back season after season. We will have Alcide vying for Sookie’s affections and if we go further past S4, Quinn will also be thrown in the mix but through it all, even in the books, Bill has been there trying to win Sookie’s affections over and over again AND both the books and the series are not over yet, so we don’t know what will happen. I, too, will be devestated if Sookie does not end up with my favorite viking, but so be it. It’s not my story to tell. The book story and the show will end how it ends and I’ll just have to accept who she ends up with. Could even be Sam or no one for that matter.

Keep the faith Ollie, your Bill will remain a steady competitor for Sookie’s affections as will Sam, Eric, Alcide and Quinn, if we go that far. Should be interesting and sometimes heartbreaking to watch. 🙂

pbt

We know where you heart lies Ollie and I agree it will be sad to see Sookie move on to greener pastures. Wiping tear from my eyes. No truly. It should be an awesome Season Three no matter where the multi-talented Alan Ball takes us this season.

It will be interesting to see if the triangle-E-S-B will be drama packed. I am guessing that the Viking may get a few points this season. Giving our telepathic waitress something to think,dream and ponder about.

Ollie Chong aka AdoreBill

Alright Antonio enough with the “let’s see things intensify between Sookie and Eric”. You have said it over and over again many times 🙂 I get your point. 🙂 Now I am going to say this just once and not repeating it. 🙂 It will break my heart to see the one good thing that has happened to Bill since the time he was turned be ripped away from him. Bill and Sookie are in love so Eric should find his own girl. Don’t like the idea of a guy moving in on another guy’s girl. Not my thing and not something I am looking forward in watching. JMHO. 🙂

jaxx

Hello again Mila!! 😀 *waves* You are so right as usual. There are so many deep layers of our beloved Eric. Each book revealed yet another layer and depth of dimension of our beloved viking and I’m hoping also as time and seasons go by TB and AB will also reveal those layers of Eric. We’ve seen the jaded and indifferent side of Eric in S1. In S2 we start to see a sensitive side to Eric, his humanity is still in there, even if it is deeply buried. His potential is starting to surface and he is uncomfortable showing this vulnerable side. I think in S3, we will see even more wonderful sides to Eric, romantic, loyal, protective since he has finally found a female of worth who can bring these dimensions out in him, finally, after all of these years. Should be an interesting season.

Antonio

This is just MHO here. I would like to see Sookie get closer to Eric especially now that Bill is gone,for now anyway. It would be interesting to find out just Who would be better for her!
I like the “love triangle” aspect. It worked pretty well with Bill and Sam (I still think that out of the 2 Sam would be better for her) Now it will be between Eric and Bill trying for her hand and her affections…I say Let the Best Man Win!
Picture it as healthy competition like Target vs. Wal-Mart
Which 1 can offer you the best stuff at the best price?
This season and pehaps the next will pose THE Question Who IS Better for her Eric Or Bill??
Or maybe just maybe she will think back and realize that Sam had her back from the beginning! I’d like to see things intensify between Sookie and Eric!

pbt

Hey Mila. I agree there are so many layers to this character. I am hoping that AB plans on unraveling all those wonderful dimensions to Eric Northman. Yes, there is so much more than sex and blood. His loyalty to those around him is unmatched. But you have to admit that the sex is good too. LOL.

64 days until the v-ddiction continues! Wohooo. True Blood and the Viking!

Miladyryts

There is so much more to Eric Northman, the 1,000 year old viking vampire! It’s more than the sex and more than the blood, it’s about this lonely vampire finally finding his beloved. He does not know how to respond or react. It’s cool to watch him find his way through his feelings!!!

TBLVR

Looking forward to the E/S scenes!
Totally hot, electric and oh so right.

MIRMIDONNA

at last Sookie and Eric together!…Sookie and Eric are the best part from the books for me

Lori

I think S3 is going to be my fav yet! I loved Club Dead so I’m hoping they stick pretty close to it. Looks like Eric saves Sookie from the were (as opposed to Bubba in the book), wonder if he goes to her when he senses her distress?

Antonio

If the show were All about Bill and Sookie and they had NO problems and were “perfectly happy” How BORING that would Be!
Only fairy-tales have a “happily ever after” clause.
Sookie Is NOT a princess locked away in a tower waiting for true love to come and rescue her Neither is Bill a “knight in shining armor atop a white steed”! This Is True Blood a series based on books about vampires,shapeshifters,Werewolves and other monsters It is Not disney-esque by ANY means of the imagination!
Even Twilight has a certain amount of danger and risk!
Besides, Who knows If sookie WOULD Love him forever?
Life is change even for supes!

Rox

I just can’t wait for the 3 season! AB has an interesting point of view, we may find his perspective quite intense. I do love the books, but the TV show makes it all even more captivating. I’m really curious to see the Sookie and Eric scenes.

Amy

I agree with you both. Jason is going to feel soo guilty. I think he considers Tara family so it will drive him crazy. Poor Jason lol. Ahh so much funn 🙂 2 more months to go!!

missyella

Here, here, here.

Well said Billismine………….

missyella

You are right Jaxx, but is it he right order of things?????

jay

I like eric but I would never the diss the bill fans because I happen to like bill equally! Not all eric fans are horrible 😀 I’d like 2 apologise if you encounter any bad eggs!

jay

Some1 that agrees with me 😀 maybe Im just old & cynical & the romance just does nothing 4 me lol!
It’s not that I h8 sookie. I like that the books are sookies POV, thats what makes them work I guess.
But the characters on the show are soo much more interesting all on their own… Reading all the books I was always curious about the other characters, and always wanted 2 c their life without sookie in it.. So thats why I love the show…
Im gonna join your mantra!!! 😀

jay

lol! yes lets 😀 lol

Em

Usually, it’s “love the book, then the show.” But with this series, it was “love the show, then the book” for me. The two seasons really got me hooked. I’m sure they got a lot more in store with the third one and it’s driving everyone crazy with anticipation. I love it cause the events would really likely happen if vamps were real. Great job.

Ollie Chong aka AdoreBill

Hi pbt,

No problem. 🙂 Believe me I know how tempting it is to post some of these photos or scans but due to copyright laws it is illegal post scans from magazines and when it comes to photos if they appear to be paps or taken without the actor’s agreement then we do not post them. So I hope you and others please understand that we try to keep our noses clean, be respectful to the actors and to the show and remain professional as you said the suspense for season 3 is growing at a fever pitch! 🙂

jaxx

Lizzy, I like the new mantra. You’re right, an ensemble show. It’s good we all have our favorites though, keeps the show going 7 months later. What other show can boast that???? We’re all good. 🙂

jaxx

I agree Antonio and Jay. I’ve said this myself many times. How many people really do end up with their first love ever??? Some yes, but not many. Besides, this will be the true test. Let’s see what else is out there, Eric, Sam, Alcide and whoever else throws their hat in the “Sookie ring”. She started out 25 and very naive about things. She is quickly learning the ins and outs of life. I think she should experience more than one romantic experience and then she will be able to tell who is right for her. While I would like it to be my favorite character she ends up with, if she’s explored other options and ends up with Bill in the end, so be it. She needs to find this out for herself and yes, there will be mistakes made along the way. Part of the learning process we all had to go through. I say, bring them all on and let’s see who she figures out is the right one for her. It may be none of the above in the end either. We’ll just have to wait and see but until then, let’s just go along for a ride on the Sookie express and see where we end up (I know corny as hell. LOL).

jaxx

Yes, pbt, me too. This will be a pivotal point in S3.

jaxx

I’m guessing Tara will run away, trying to get away from it all and hook up with Franklin Mott. I think Jason will go after her out of guilt and then who knows. Should be fun.

D. Reilly

AS THE WORM TURNS…and the tension grows…Alan Ball is a master. and I think he KNOWS he’s got a loaded gun !! Seasons 3 & 4 can be **WINNERS*** The stage is set…actors ready…and the FANS ARE CRAZY WITH ANTICIPATION !!!!LADY LUCK LADY LUCK LADY LUCK LADY LUCKLADY LUCK!!!!!

Andrea

I am one of the few who does not really have a preference as to who Sookie ends up with,reality is if it is written and done right the chemistry will work. What I would like to see which is my one criticism of the books (yeah people are gonna shoot me for criticizing the book just hear me out)Is Sookie’s character is drawn and dependent on all the men of the moment it is not that I do not want to see the great sexual scenes(hey they are hot!) Alan and the cast create but for her to come off as a bit more independent in her relationships whether it be Bill or Eric. So the dynamics of the romance and chemistry would continue but for her to come off as less needy towards men. Understandably her character is learning about love and relationships,but being that she has the ability to read the thoughts of most men(which ussually in her presence on the show were vulgar) She would be a bit more hardened and guarded towards them Vamp or not. I would see her character having a bit more of a chip on her shoulder for being treated as an outsider and knowing what people around her are thinking especially towards her not many positive interactions with people in her life aside from her Grandmother and on the show Tara.

pbt

Hey, Lizzie. I agree. The banter between Eric and Bill is always entertaining. Actually I like the banter between Eric and Pam, Eric and Laffy, Eric and Sam, Eric and the Queen and even Eric and Sookie. LOL. OK you get the idea.

Wohoo. TB!

pbt

Sorry Ollie. Good to know. I love all the great spoilers we are getting lately. You can just feel the momentum building since Season Two started re-airing. Wohoo. TB.

pbt

I guess the same could be said for the Viking. Not all bad. It appears he is willing to risk himself for Sookie. Is that three times now? It appears that our Sookie has shot the Viking in a tumble with the werewolf at her house. Wohooo TB. 71 days. OMG. Can you believe it? We are actually under 75 days now. Go TB!

Filming episode 6. Finding Bill now. Can’t wait to see what AB does with that storyline.

Mandy

Alright!! Finally!! I am an Eric fan all the way. He is the one who remains loyal to Sookie throughout the books. I cannot wait for this episode to air!!

missyella

Hi Amy,

I agree with the Franklin Mott/Tara storyline, interesting to see what Denis O’Hare will do as he is a much accomplished Actor, but am most curious to know what AB will do with the Jason/Tara storyline, due to the accidential killing of Eggs by Jason.

Will Jason pursue Tara through guilt?

Ckayed

They might have some intense scenes but I’m betting that Sookie will stay true to her Bill Compton – he’s the BEST!

Isis Nocturne

Dissing Bill fans because you like Eric isn’t very cool. Also, I may dislike Eric, but I don’t hate him. I just find him reprehensible for his actions. Also, I’d like to remind you that this is a TRUE BLOOD fan site, and we tend to stick with talking about the show over the books.

Lizzie 1701

Actually, Jay, you are right! I don’t really care about Sookie, I care about Bill. Some of the best scenes in the show are between Bill and Eric!! There is toooooo much focus on who Sookie will hook up with when actually TB is a ensemble show and not a Sookie POV show, like it is in the books.

I now have a new mantra!

Go Team Bill and Eric!!!

Ollie Chong aka AdoreBill

Hi pbt,

I know which photos you are referring to but we cannot post them here because they seem to be pap photos. We will only post HBO released or approved photos. 🙂

Amy

Hi Missyella- you’re rightt!!! I almost forgot about that. I hope Claudine makes an appearance soon. And once Eric has a taste of Sookie’s blood he’s going to lovee it LOL. It reminds me of Lorenas reaction to Barrys blood in the hotel room. Also since the queen warned Eric to never taste her blood I think he’s going to want it even more now. Bring on the Sookie and Eric lovin and of course the rest of the TB cast. I’m also curious about Tara how she will cope without Eggs and of course her relationship with Franklin Mott. I wish it was june already….sigh*

missyella

It’s gotta be the Faerie Blood that does it and i for one cannot wait to see what AB has in store for them and us all…………

jay

Isnt keeping the true reason why your were sent to an area by your boss also trickery?…Eric and Bill both have their flaws. Seems like your passionate about the bill character and honestly Im not being sarcastic, thats awesome!
I dont have a preference… Ohh yes I do! I’d prefer 2 c eric and bill on their own without the sookie romance because I’d rather see more of them as characters, then them in the love triangle! Love triangles are over-rated 🙂

jay

I say 2 sookie ‘you go girl’. You go live life, living your life dont make you a scamp, espcially when you havent done anything worth being labelled a ‘scamp’ yet!
Whatever events sookie faces, or decisions she makes is just her living life, even making mistakes. Thats the reality; and the fantasy is that some people think she will never (and she shouldnt) experience situations, events or decisions in her life (good and bad) that will make her grow and mature as an adult.
The reality is she will live life, & she will make good and bad decisions…thats not fantasy!

billismine

Whatever AB and the team of writers do with CH’s characters … IT WILL ALL BE GOOD! We all love TB otherwise we wouldn’t be commenting on this site. It is the best f***ing show on television and I can’t wait to see what is in store for us in season 3!

Stephen'sHoney

Whatever AB and his team of writers choose to do with CH’s characters, IT WILL ALL BE GOOD!! All of these little bits of information about season 3 just add to the anticipation we all feel for THE BEST F***ING SHOW ON TELEVISION! Bring it on!

Antonio

Or delusion depending on How you wish to look at it

Antonio

Look we All have our personal favorites and thats OK
1 thing which we can agree upon is that we are All passionate about This particular show! Its alright to express an opinion or sentiment about a favorite character as long as We allow for Others to do the same. I think that the entire cast and crew of the show are Very talented! Personally, I did not care for Maryann Or Daphne But I would not berate some 1 here if they did like those characters. Feel free to express By All Means but refrain from Imposing views upon others.
Thank You
Go Team TB!!
Now True Blood vs.Twilight? There’s Another Matter!
🙂

Antonio

I tend to agree Only because there is No sexual tension between Bill and Sookie there Never was! Theirs was like “love at first sight” instant chemistry. There is Much banter between Sookie and Eric and the sexual tension grows stronger after every heated verbal exchange! If she decides to explore her “feeling” for Eric Or Sam then thats Her prerogative!
She is Not married to Bill,Yet! And as she so eloquently put it in S1 She is NOT his Slave! JMHO

Antonio

Maybe Sookie can benefit from some time spent alone to think to regroup to sort through her thoughts. I’m thinking about the last episode of S1,Which I thought was So Cool and well written,
She says something to the effect that “I’ve got a killer after me not to mention a Vampire and a Shapeshifter on my back I dont think I want to go with ANYONE right Now!” Maybe she just needs to be Alone for a while? Besides, in the show True Blood she cant hear Eric’s thoughts either.

Lizzie 1701

Antonio! Remember the drive back from Fangtasia after dropping Laf off, she turns to Bill, holds his hand, looks at him in the eye and says that she can see evil in him, but she can also see goodness in him, and from then onwards, that is all she will see. That is a sign of maturity!

Antonio

This is My take on this…
Sookie is 25 years old…She does Not have a lot of experience with guys and love. She is Young,Immature and perhaps somewhat naive. Bill may have been her first passionate/romantic venture,But that Doesnt necessarily mean he will be the one she chooses to spend her life OR forever. Only with maturity,wisdom and having explored her options and whats out there for her can she make an informed decision about Who she wants to be with!
True Love is about Much more than warm sentiment or the warm “fuzzies”! Love when its True is about conviction and dedication. Only when 1 is wise and mature enough to embrace the good times,the bad times,the hard times and times of indifference
Can 1 truly say with conviction and devotion I Choose You in spite of it all! If Sookie were to say “I love Bill because he’s handsome Or a Sharp dresser Or We have good lovemaking sessions I would say that sounds Immature naive silly
If However she would say I love Bill because I can be a better person because of him or I love him NOT because of what he can give me or what he can Do for me,I Love him for Who he Is and how I feel when I am around him….You see THERE Is the Difference! To Love Truly takes emotional maturity and conviction I do NOT think that she posseses These Yet!
As for Bill being her “forever” love ONLY She can make That decision! She may yet decide that Eric is her real love Or Alcide Or even Sam! I would Never presume to choose a woman’s husband Before she is ready to decide for herself Why would i do That to Sookie?
Sookie Needs time to think,reflect explore She Needs to find out Who She Is and What She Wants Dont We All??

Lizzie 1701

Yeah, Sookie is a little scamp, and does not know how well her bread was buttered. I am sorry AB is going the way of the books – really did not feel anything for Book Sookie – so low class. Let her have Eric and the others! Bill deserves much better.

Enjoy your fantasy!

Lizzie 1701

I have read the books and still like Bill!! He redeemed himself in the books but Eric is still a schemer and trickster regardless of books or series!

Enjoy your fantasy! Romance based on trickery – wow that will be hot! Very honest!!!!! oh wait! Bill was a liar, but Eric is a trickster but this romance will true! Did Eric ever tell Sookie the consequences of drinking his blood! What a liar!

I do hope AB goes another way, I really do!

bite me eric please

You eric haters are crazy! Obviously you haven’t read the books! Eric started out as just the hott dangerous vamp, and bill was perfect. Bill turns out to be a liar. Eric might have tricked sookie but he is falling in love with her. They are meant to b! You can feel the heat between them! Fairy blood or not, eric has feelings for sookie.oooo I can’t wait for their connection to get stronger. Looking forward to the bedroom scene at the king’s!!!! More hott viking god!

pbt

Yes the little telepath will definitely be busy on the love front this season. Sammy, Billy, Alcide and the Viking. Some vamp is not going to be too happy with Sookie this season when he is eventually found. I am sure she will be wearing the scent of the “were”, the shape shifter and the Viking. LOL

Thanks, Ollie. Loved the article. Bring all the TB plot lines on!

pbt

LOL. Yes, the Viking is King. You are right Lizzie. And you are right, we will never agree on this and that’s perfectly fine with me. Let’s see how all of this will play out this season. The drama will be like on steroids this season. Did you see all those great new pics of Sookie and Eric? The intensity is palpable for sure.

I believe our Truebies are filming episode 6 when they find Bill. There is a new photo of Sookie where she looks a little worn out and used up and has bandages on either side of the neck. Hmmm. 72 more days until the v-ddicition continues!! Go TB.

Lizzie 1701

This get together with Eric and Sookie is born out of ticckery and scheming by Eric. Sookie loves Bill with all her heart and yet some fans are wanting to destroy that love.

Just a reminder that it is a sexual attraction between them and NOT ROMANCE! How good will that be? Sad, that how!

Good for you, Eric shippers! Enjoy!

Lizzie 1701

Well, there is a difference, pbt. Bill only gave blood twice to Sookie and both times were for healing. If you flick back to the first episode of S1, you will notice that Sookie was aware of Bill from the first moment!! You could see it in her eyes, walk, manner and speech! She had her first sex dream BEFORE she had his blood. Also, Bill did tell her, twice, that her libido would be increased, he would be able to feel her and she would have heightened senses. This has been hashed over and over and over again, but it still crops up!!

Another thing – did Eric ever tell Sookie at the bullet sucking scene what his blood would do to her??? NO! he just laughed! Eric is the king of trickery and Sookie is now going to pay the price for her compassion!

jaxx

You can never tell with AB, can you and it is April Fool’s Day. Was that a joke or a hint???? Dark hair/light hair, who cares, just bring it on with the viking.

Things have to get heated with Eric and Sookie, that’s the natural progression of things to come. And, no, I don’t think we’ve seen the last of Bill either. And, don’t forget Alcide’s in the picture now and that ever faithful Sam in still “on Sookie’s back burner”. Should be interesting.

Thanks Ollie.

pbt

It is all about the blood. Lest we forget about Bill’s blood exchanges with the telepath in season one. Hmmm. Food or blood for thought there.

Loving the Ausiello Files again. He always does a great job with the TB tidbits. Can’t wait to see all of our favorites return in Season Three. Especially my fav the Viking.

72 days folks. 🙂

TeamEric

It’s because Sookie has fairy blood… 😀

val

I’m with you-dark hair light hair-JUST BRING ON THE SOOKIE/ERIC FIRWEWORKS!!!!!!

emily

Anyone else think that little “joke” was actually more a hint? In case no one else noticed, Bill’s hair really has gotten darker and darker over time; just watch season 2 over and you will see it (especially in the episode where they return to Bon Temps from Dallas). Could be a coincidence. But maybe not.

Isis Nocturne

Doubtful. I think that what AB says is more important… He says directly that Sookie is drawn to Eric sexually, and that the blood is the reason for it!

AnEricgirl

Woohoo, looking forward to this!! Eric & Sookie <3

princemon2

waiting with anticipation. all the new reveals, I need my TB now!!!!!!!!!!!

SUJUN

awwww! cant wait to see tat happen.
