Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello): Never to be a Couple?
Q: Please tell me I will still get to see Kevin Alejandro on True Blood!
A: Not only will he be back, but Jesus is getting an origin arc! Alan Ball will be digging into the gay witch’s creepy backstory this season, complete with flashbacks to the mid-'80s when he was living in the Chihuahuan desert with his protective mother and terrifying, intimidating brujo of a grandfather.

Q: I would love some True Blood scoop!
Ausiello: Alcide’s getting an after-hours boss. The show is casting the role of Raoul, a tough, intense white dude in his early 40s who also happens to be the werewolf packmaster of Shreveport. Curiously, interested applicants must be shorter than Joe Manganiello...
Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello):
Never to be a couple?
Q: Any chance that Sookie and Alcide will get together this season on True Blood?
TVGuide:
'Timing is everything and the timing between those two could not have been worse, so we'll see where the time goes in Season 4,' Joe Manganiello says.
(And) factor this in: We're hearing that Alcide's loyalties might be split. His work for Eric is done, but Alcide has a new boss, and his interests diverge from those of Sookie.
TrueBlood Episode 4 Title Update: Episode 4.05 will be called "I Hate You, I Love You"
Well Trubies, the chance of a Sookie-Alcide Season 4 hookup is looking pretty dire. It's sounding as if Alan Ball and Co. are doing what they've always (rightfully) done, take inspiration from the Sookie Stackhouse book series rather than simply replicating the books.
I'll admit I am a bit disappointed as I love Joe Manganiello's "Alcide," however he may end up with more screen time and a just as compelling storyline whether or not he is bedding Sookie. Ultimately, Alcide's conflicted love for his crazy she-wolf ex could be a deciding factor in whether the True Blood team evens goes into a serious flirtation between Sookie and Alcide.
For me, only when the actual show airs do I make a judgement about what works and what does not. Also, I like both to be spoiled and surprised by how the storylines unfold.
