More True Blood season 3 spoiler tidbits from Alan Ball and Alexander Skarsgard thanks to Michael Ausiello from EW.com. Lately Micheal has been about to get these little tidbits from Alan which we all greatly appreciate and helps satisfy our cravings for True Blood.
According to Alan the number of evil characters have increase to three versus last season’s one, Maryann. As Alan states:
“We have a triumvirate of evil this season,” reveals exec producer Alan Ball. “I’m talking about Franklin Mott, Russell Edgington, and Debbie Pelt. They are all bad to the bone. They’re not just crazy, they’re evil.” Speaking of the yet-to-be-cast Debbie Pelt, Ball tells me that the Alcide’s psycho ex will actually have a bigger role than first thought. “We actually beefed up Debbie,” he says. “She’s going to be in more episodes, so maybe that will have an impact on [what actress] we can get for her, which is a big question right now.”
One the other hand, Alexander was able to give Micheal some more details as to what will be happening with Eric in season 3 when he saw him at the Golden Globes this past weekend. Alex stated to Michael that Eric‘s journey in season 3 is about revenge and that this season we will see a continuing exploration of Eric’s interest in Sookie. As Alex stated about his character’s path to Michael for this upcoming season:
“I’d say it’s about revenge,” he told me. “He will continue to explore the whole Sookie thing and what that’s all about. He’s trying to figure out what’s different about her. He’s intrigued by that. And in addition to that, there’s something that happened a thousand years ago that he’s still carrying in his heart. All I’ll say is he’s trying to avenge someone.”
All these little tidbits are surely to increase the anticipation for the return of season 3 in June!

First, I can’t wait to see the supposed flashbacks we’ve been promised of Godric and Eric. For me, it was a huge disappointment that their storyline was over so quickly.
Their dynamic was amazing and all their scenes were so fascinating to watch. Eric/Godric scenes were some of the best of the entire season.
When Godric turned Eric around 1.000 years back he told Eric “I will be your Father, Brother, Son”, so, I felt that Godric, even though a very old vampire, he was terribly lonely. He asks Eric before turning him.
The quote “Father, Brother, Son” leads me to think that Godric and Eric think of each other as exactly that. When Godric died, Eric losing is Father is brother and is son. For me that is the reason Eric falls apart at the sight of losing Godric, and fell to his knees crying and begging to beg for Godric to stay with him.
Second, I agree anybody else from his 1,000 years ago, that may have done Eric wrong, would be long dead, unless it is another vampire. So probably we all gone see what Eric fighting before Godric turned him. The people who kill his family?
Alan Ball say’s that the evil characters are “all bad to the bone”…….very interesting.
I’ am look forward to see Eric/Godric again and Eric/Sookie.
