‘True Blood’ season 6 spoilers: Alexander Skarsgard talks Eric, Bill

“True Blood” season 6 has been in production now for a couple of weeks, and while there is still not much known about the story as a whole, we can at least promise one thing: Bill Compton is going to be very bad news this summer, especially for anyone who happens to oppose him.

One of these people may very well be Eric Northman, who did everything in his power to try and dissuade Bill from falling under the trance that caused him to drink up all of Lilith’s blood. With his feelings about the Authority and vampire religion being what they are, we have a feeling that this is not going to go well for our ever-so-dashing owner of Fangtasia. Speaking to E! News on the subject of Bill, Alexander Skarsgard explains that Bill may now be one of the few vampires out there who his character is genuinely afraid of:

“Bill is kind of dangerous now, even for an old, strong vampire like Eric … So he’s got to be real careful.”

Eric is going to have something else going on beyond just tracking down Bill, right? We have to hope so. What we do know for sure is that he will not be spending too much time pursuing Sookie Stackhouse given that Anna Paquin’s character has a new love interest, and we also know that Pam is likely going to continue to pursue whatever it is that she started up with Tara during the season 5 finale. Eric at the moment feels surprisingly alone: he may have followers, but who is going to pick him to be at their side over anyone else?

Do you think that Eric is in for a tough season this time around? If you want to find out more about the Governor’s daughter and some other characters popping up on “True Blood” season 6, you can do so over at the link here.
