Sam Trammell - True Blood's "Sam Merlotte"

Aww. A Bill and Sam hook-up without the deets?! Not fair! Lafayette as awesome as he is, has a much more um, fluid range of sexual expression it seems, while both Sam (Sam Trammell) and Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) have thus far appeared as 100% straight guys. True Blood has outdone itself in outrageousness as each season has passed. Sounds like AB & Co. are about to take it up one more notch. Bring it on!

If you’re one of the (many) True Blood viewers who suspected there might be fallout from Bill “donating” blood to save Sam’s life in the finale last September, go ahead and give yourself a gold star. The show’s boss, Alan Ball, tells me that in season 3, the hunks will forge “not just any connection, an erotic connection.”

How erotic? Ball wouldn’t say. But at least he was more forthcoming with regard to another upcoming same-sex couple-to-be: Lafayette and his new love interest Jesus (played by Southland’s Kevin Alejandro). Bon Temps’ resident V peddler “is very guarded, and Jesus is a guy who is willing to knock down some of those guards,” he says. “[Though] it’s not an easy relationship, they have a lot in common. They’re both shamans of sorts, healers, so there’s a reason they get brought together.

“But,” he emphasizes again, “it’s not going to be easy.”

True Blood creator Alan Ball says he will be casting the part of a female werewolf named Debbie Pelt whom he describes as “a badass bitch you do not want to get on the wrong side of. She is not going to like Sookie.” Look for the character debut in the third episode of the upcoming third season.

*It also sounds like they’ll be plenty of sex in the season premiere, with Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) ended up in a backwoods Arkansas motel room with a familiar face. “It should be curious and confusing to viewers,” teases Trammell. But Ryan Kwanten says his character, Jason Stackhouse, ups Sam by one. “My character wakes up in the first episode with two women beside him,” Ryan boasts. The actor’s also looking forward to seeing Jason enjoy a more meaningful romance. “He will find love in the werewolf world, and love is a pretty unknown concept for him.”

Alfre Woodard joins the series as Ruby Jean Reynolds, mother to Lafayette and aunt to Tara. Alfre describes her character as “nuts. She’s not going to be a person that the audience loves. She’s not very accepting of Lafayette, which is fun to play.”

*Based on the info leaking out (drip by drip) it sounds plausible that Sam wakes up with Bill in a motel room?! That for sure would be confusing for viewers–but yum, hunky men both!
