True Blood "sire" Alan Ball, appearing at Paley Fest, said that new episodes of the show have scenes many of which do not originate from Charlaine Harris' superb Sookie Stackhouse series "that will make your jaw drop."
Because the Season 2 premiere is still about 2 months away, to satiate your True Blood-lust E! Online offered a first look at the teaser posters for the new episodes. At first they seem to depict "a puddle of blood," but look closer and you'll realize that they're really "an optical illusion hiding something sexier..."

True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have been involved since the beginning of Season One of HBO's True Blood though they kept it under wraps, not wanting to make the rest of the True Blood Cast uncomfortable. However during the hiatus they came out of the coffin uh, closet.
The show's Bill-Sookie-Eric triangle was much discussed as the cast and producers of HBO's vampire drama took the stage at the Paley Center for Media's 25th Annual TV Festival last Monday night.
Showrunner Alan Ball and his stars, including Anna Paquin and Alexander Skarsgård, spoke to E! about the "Viking vampire" getting more screentime, who will get more than their fair share of bruised and bloodiness (and not the fun kind!) and who's playing with the new supernatural creatures.
Also, Stephen Moyer spoke to E! about how he truly feels about Eric extending his fangs in Sookie's general direction in season two of HBO's True Blood.

Alan Ball, executive producer
Q: Anna won a Golden Globe for playing Sookie over the hiatus—what are you doing to up the ante and keep her challenged?
A: Anna loves it when she's getting beaten up or kicked or smacked around, and lucky for her, Charlaine Harris put a lot of that stuff in the second book.
Q: Does Sookie interact with the new supernatural creatures much this season?
A: She spends the first half of the season focusing on vampires and vampire politics in Dallas, as a sort of favor to Eric, and she spends the last half of the season cleaning up the mess that some new supernatural creatures have created in her town—and she is pissed. She is not going to take it anymore.
Q: And what changes about Eric this time around?
A: Eric has more of a presence in season two—you get a little of his backstory, you find out a bit of what's important to him, what is meaningful to him, what makes him cry.
Alexander Skarsgård (Eric Northman)
Q: How are you playing Eric differently this year?
A: Everything becomes more private and personal in season two. In season one, the situation started out being business-related, and Eric's attraction to Sookie was "All right, I might use this." But the stuff between them now is much more personal. He's very much emotionally involved now. And I'm not just talking about his relationship between Eric and Sookie and Bill, but other things as well. A lot of the fans who have read book two, they know that the reason they go to Dallas is because Eric's maker has gone missing. That's a very, very personal quest for him.
Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse)
Q: Does Jason get into trouble again this season?
He gets into different kinds of trouble this season, because he's off with his church.
A: How are you feeling about the Bill-Sookie-Eric triangle right now?
It's
really only just sort of slightly hinted at, as of yet—we're shooting
seven right now. But Eric's definitely leering down from his heights.
Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton)
Q: How does Bill feel about Eric moving in on his lady?
A: That's
a good question. I'm not going to lie, when I see those little things
in the script, those little moments when Eric's pouting at her from
across the room, I'm like, I'm going to have a word with that scamp
later. It does make me step back a little bit and be upset, which is
exactly how Bill reacts as well..."F--ker."...
