‘True Blood’s’ Alexander Skarsgard Talks Shirtless Eric, Plus Sookie Shower Scene Confirmed

The actor and EP Alan Ball address two frequently asked fan questions concerning the budding romance.

On Sunday’s episode of True Blood, we do believe we felt a slight tremor when Sookie (Anna Paquin) asked Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) not to leave and then the two finally engaged in a very hot kissing scene.

It’s a moment that fans of the Charlaine Harris books and the series have been waiting for since it was announced that Eric will indeed be struck with a spell that takes away his memories. So, what’s next?

VIDEO: ‘True Blood’: Sookie Runs, But Not From Eric

At the True Blood panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Skarsgard and showrunner Alan Ball discussed the two topics of much importance to fans: Amnesia Eric’s general shirtless state, as well as the much-anticipated shower scene from the novels that signifies a very important romantic plot point between Eric and Sookie.

Here’s what the two had to say during the panel:

‘True Blood’s’ Kristin Bauer Says Pam’s Vanity Might Even Be More Important Than Eric

“She is pissed,” the actress says of her character on the HBO show.

When we last saw Pam on True Blood, she was running away. Marnie (Fiona Shaw) or the vengeful witch possessing her had just cast a spell that began rotting away her face. And when it comes to her looks, Pam doesn’t play around.

“Every season, we learn something new about Pam,” Kristin Bauer van Straten, who plays the vampire, tells The Hollywood Reporter. “So, last year we learned she had a vulnerable side. And this year, her vanity is probably even closer to her heart than Eric. I didn’t think anything could supersede Eric, but I think her face does.”

Get ready to drop your jaw. The Vampire Diaries’ Paul Wesley is turning 29 today, July 23. Say what?!

His devastating (and deceptively young) good looks are just one of the reasons we find him so lovable. Read on to find out more!10. Twitter-pated.

The dead body count this season on True Blood is staggering! It’s only been four episodes and we’ve already lost Claudine, Sookie’s Gramps, and Felton (are we forgetting anyone?), and it’s only a matter of time before another super bites the dust. Who will meet the True Death next? Will Eric wander off into the sun and fry? Will Pam’s skin melt off and leave her dead and fugly? Will Arlene’s baby acquire the developmental skills needed to finally kill her?…

Did you know that Anna Paquin is one of the youngest Oscar winners in Academy Awards history? She means business! Check out this video of Anna as young and innocent Flora in The Piano. Sigh, who knew this head strong gal would grow up to be a fangbanger? In this clip, Flora frolics through the woods with fairy wings on her back, and then practices her signature scream as her mother gets her finger chopped off thanks to her betrayal. No wonder this girl up and moved to Bon Temps.

I’ll be putting up a summary post of the panel, but if you want to follow it LIVE right now, here’s a Twitter list.

“She has this Achilles heel, which is Eric”

Posted: 22 Jul 2011 01:35 PM PDT

Jace Lacob at the Daily Beast has an interview with Kristin.

“Last year, we found out that Pam has a sensitive side, that she has this Achilles heel, which is Eric… I thought she would be really vulnerable, that she would just crumble, but she doesn’t… There’s going to be payback.”

“I just love him,” she said, her eyes brimming with tears. “In our relationship as Pam and Eric, there are overlaps with Kristin and Alex, because I have complete faith and trust in him. You have to do some things playing an immortal character where you just have to dive in and look ridiculous… Alex is so incredibly sweet and funny.”

Her Swedish co-star maintains that Pam and Eric live together, as fans have yet to see where either Eric or Pam calls home. “Alex keeps saying that he can’t wait to see their house, and I say, ‘Seriously, you think they live together?’” she said, laughing. “In his mind, we have this fabulous place and… we’re sitting together watching movies.”

She really only has one love, and that’s Eric.

Team Bill or Team Eric?
Oh, I have to go with Team Eric.

Why?
He’s my maker, you know? There’s a line there where… I guess there’s a Kristin and a Pam, you know. Otherwise, I’m a serial killer.

No judgments here today.
But, you know, I don’t know. That area, I feel like I’m Pam.

Saints Cosmas and Damian

You may be wondering why on earth I’d be speaking of saints on a vampire website, well, believe it or not but these two actually play a role in vampire history.

Cosmos and Damian (also known Cosmas and Damian) are twin brothers and saints of the Christian Church, particularly the Eastern Orthodox church. While the exact dates of their births and deaths are unknown, they are considered early Christian martyrs, killed at Cyrrhus, where a basilica was built in their honor.
