Q&A: 'True Blood' cast

Stephen Moyer as Bill Compton

So we hear Eric causes some tension between Bill and Sookie this season?
What I like about it is that Eric goes in and fusses it all up. And he’s out for his own ends.

Is it difficult to see that connection between Sookie and Eric?
It's really difficult—difficult for me, and really difficult for Bill. It’s a good thing I like Alex Skarsgård as much as I do, or there’d be trouble!

How different is the second season from the first?
I think the writers have been allowed to go so much further than they ever thought. I don’t think anybody knew what we’d get to existed. It goes to some very, very interesting mad places.
