True Blood's Sookie and Eric to Hook up Early?

Seems like an Eric and Sookie pairing may happen sooner than expected.

Mickey O'connor, senior editor at TVGuide.com has hinted that it may happen sooner rather than later. When asked when the pairing of everyone's favourite viking vampire and telepathic waitress would take place, he had this to say:

We're guessing it'll be soon, because once Sookie finds out what Bill is up to over at the king's manor house, she is going to be more than ready for some "passionate, primal sex."

Of course, it's only a guess and it may not happen at all this season, at least not the way we would want it to happen. And we know that Eric will spurn Sookie's advances in episodes 5-6. Maybe afterwards?

But since Alan Ball has veared a bit from the novels (which in itself is a good thing on some levels i.e. Lafayette and bad on others *cough* Tara *cough*) while maintaining the general overall storyline, it could still happen in series 3, ahead of series 4.

Me, I've been patiently waiting since season 1 for it to happen.

Anyone else looking forward to shipping Eric and Sookie?

True Blood: Sookie's Fairy Godmother Cast!

Michael Ausiello has announced that British actress Lara Pulver - who recently starred in the BBC series Robin Hood - will play Sookie Stackhouse's fairy godmother (and distant cousin) Claudine in HBO's True Blood.

Claudine often acts as Sookie's own guardian angel, often saving the life of our favourite Merlotte waitress in the course of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels.

Now, I wonder who they will get to play Claude - Claudine's gorgeous (and very gay) twin brother! Any suggestions?

First look at Werewolf Alcide from True Blood

Here's our first look at Alcide Hervieux - werewolf extraordinaire - who will give Sookie a hand in finding her kidnapped lover Bill Compton. [TheAusielloFiles]

Alcide is played by actor Joe Manganiello (One Tree Hill). There will definitely be some sexual tension between the both of them during season 3 of True Blood. And we also may get to see a lot of clothesless scenes from Alcide since this is True Blood afterall and werewolves have a tendency to find themselves pretty much naked at one point or another.
