HBO raises the stakes in the
second season of the sexy vamp saga
True Blood. Take that,“Twilight!”
Unless you’ve been locked in a coffin lately, you know the hit
HBO vampire drama True Blood helped ignite a true romance
between stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. As telepathic
waitress Sookie Stackhouse and Civil War–era bloodsucker Bill
Compton, their sizzle is undeniable. “Our characters have had
f---ing lust, romantic sex, emotional sex…” Moyer says. But as
the show returns for Season 2, “it’s more like a normal relation-
ship. They argue. But there’s a yang to that yin. There’s makeup
sex.” Phew. Who wants to see these hot supernaturals paying bills
and shopping at Wal-Mart?
Steamy couplings are the heartbeat of the show this season,
says creator Alan Ball, so fans can expect exponential amounts of
romance along with the gore, dark humor and jugular-jolting
