Like my title? lol
Anyways, Ausiello on EW.com talks about the book plot in which Bill was only brought to Bon Temps to seduce Sookie per the Queen.
ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/09/16/true-blood-bill-sookie-bombshell-secret/
In what would be a boon to Sookie-Eric fans, True Blood boss Alan Ball isn’t ruling out incorporating a major (and controversial) plot point from the books that, up to now, has only been hinted at in the series (spoiler alert): That Bill came to Bon Temps and seduced Sookie with the ulterior motive of getting her to work for Queen Sophie-Anne.
“It’s certainly something that I found really compelling in the books,” says Ball of Bill’s deep dark secret. “I was like, ‘Wow.’ But I can’t really tell you what I’m going to do story-wise. So much of the appeal of the show depends on the element of surprise.”
Bill-Sookie shippers are no doubt hoping Ball opts not to go there. In addition to driving a stake through the heart of their favorite couple, it could push Sookie into the arms of Eric.
“I try to stay out of how the fans are responding to the show,” says Ball. “I have to tell the story that I think is the most interesting story. Certainly, the main ingredient in drama is conflict and revelations. For every person who loves Bill and wants him and Sookie to just be in love always, there’s another person who’s like, ‘I’m sick of Bill. He’s such a wuss. I like Eric. He’s dangerous.’ Especially when you’re working on a show like this with the kind of palate and the colors you use; you want it to be continually surprising and shocking. Not for the sake of being shocking, but that’s part of the fun.”
What do you think? Should Ball remain faithful to the books and blow Bill’s secret wide open? Or should he overlook the dark twist on account of not wanting to destroy Bill-Sookie? Sound off below!
****I for one HOPE he does it. It's being hinted at already & it would create great drama & we all know that happy couples on tv shows get boring after awhile****
