Even though we are still (somewhat patiently) waiting for Season 3 of True Blood to start it doesn’t mean that there isn’t plenty of news bits emanating from ‘sources’ as well as True Blood cast who spill. Here’s the latest from Ausiello who nailed down the actor who plays our favourite Viking vampire Eric, for a couple of choice tidbits - Alexander Skarsgård.

Q: In response to the request for (what else) True Blood news:
A: “It’ll take three villains to replace last season’s one Big Bad, Maryann. “We have a triumvirate of evil this season,” reveals exec producer Alan Ball. “I’m talking about Franklin Mott, Russell Edgington, and Debbie Pelt. They are all bad to the bone. They’re not just crazy, they’re evil.” Speaking of the yet-to-be-cast Debbie Pelt, Ball tells me that the Alcide’s psycho ex will actually have a bigger role than first thought. “We actually beefed up Debbie,” he says. “She’s going to be in more episodes, so maybe that will have an impact on [what actress] we can get for her, which is a big question right now.”
Q: Loved the pic you snapped of Alex Skarsgård at the Golden Globes. Did you by any chance get any True Blood scoop out of him?
A: No, I just took the picture and ran off. Of course I got some scoop out of him. Specifically, I asked him to give me a preview of Eric’s season 3 journey.
“I’d say it’s about revenge,” he told me. “He will continue to explore the whole Sookie thing and what that’s all about. He’s trying to figure out what’s different about her. He’s intrigued by that. And in addition to that, there’s something that happened a thousand years ago that he’s still carrying in his heart. All I’ll say is he’s trying to avenge someone.” – Alexander Skarsgård (True Blood) at the Golden Globes
