IMDb.com Lists Eric Northman for Only 2 Episodes:
Fans of HBO’s True Blood are fearful that Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) may not last for much longer thanks to the TV and Movie database, IMDb.com, listing him as only appearing in two episodes of True Blood Season 7!
And thanks to the fact that we ended Episode 2 with an Eric clearing displaying the signs of, what is so far, terminal Hep-V, it is a well founded fear.
But thanks to TVLine’s Ask Ausiello section, we have been reliably reassured by Michael Ausiello that everyone’s favorite viking vampire, Eric Northman, will be appearing for longer than that:
It’s a mistake and there will be more of Eric than that. A lot more of Eric. And if you’re a fan of Eric-Pam, then you’re going to love the July 20 episode. I’ve got two words for you, one of them is “trip” and the other is “road.”
Well, that’s a relief, isn’t it? Let us know why you think Eric and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) will be going on a road trip in Episode 5 by commenting below!

I think it’s funny that there are 7 comments debating whether Eric is the most important character or not when most of these TB gossip/news items for other charactors have 0 or 1 comments. Sheer numbers would indicate he is the top draw for the show. BTW, one way out for Eric might be for Sookie to blast him with her light, perhaps the very last of it, leaving her vulnerable and no longer telepathic, but curing him of the hep-v virus. I have no clue why she would need to blast him, but I’m a ‘big picture’ kinda thinker, the writers can fill in those pesky details…
