True Blood on the Set

As “True Blood” continues its Season 4 storylines, a new cast of characters have started to be brought into the story line. But that isn’t all that is new, many of the sets have undergone a change as well to help keep the show current and interesting to the fans.

One of those sets updates is the home of Sooki. Her residence had a simple color enhancement to yellow and a few appliances updated. Because the character is devoted to keeping her home as her grandmother originally decorated it, these were the only changes that took place. This will give viewers the chance to feel at home with this character, while having a subtle visual upgrade in the process.

The next set, Bill Compton’s home was a different story. His home has been updated from a home that was essentially in ruins and no reflects a very modern and elegant appearance. There are of course plenty of antiques that have been acquired by him over the years that are still reflected in his newly remodeled home.

These changes came into play when the crew studied different plantation magazines and literature. They found elements that they could pull from each of them in an effort to create a brilliant, yet realistic looking home that had the personality of the character still attached to it.

However, Bill is not the one that handled the process. Instead, the writers will have a little on this as King Bill has hired an interior designer to help him with the process. While he had a great deal of input, the hired individual helped him to deal with the mundane task instead. This includes all the different items that have come from his past, many of which viewers will not have seen before. That will make this room an exciting thing for them to see as they can learn more about his history through these objects.

These objects will also likely be brought up in storylines as well. This will include how they were obtained or which vampire dignitaries provided him with these gifts at some point in history. This should prove to be very interesting for those who enjoy this show. Of course, there is no word on when or which items will be included in any of the upcoming storylines, so viewers will need to tune in to see how this pans out.

Along with that, there are of course other factors that are going to come into play as well. However, viewers are going to have to watch to see how each of these items ends up panning out over the course of the season. That way, the can see the toned down office and learn more about the changes to Bill’s office as well. Some of these items are certainly going to appear to be very strange at first, but as the story progresses, more of it will become fairly obvious in the process.

A Shocking Death

Fans of the Sookie Stackhouse series written by Charlaine Harris had a shocking experience on the True Blood series. Beloved character Claudine, a character that survives much longer in the series died at the hands of a vampire.

This has had purists up in arms over the sudden change from the books. However the author herself has given it her blessing. The fact of the matter is that she says she feels that she can trust Alan Ball to do what is right for his series and still remain true to her books. This should of course give viewers some peace of mind about this process as well. Especially since Ball is willing to comment on this hot topic.

This isn’t the first time that the mythology of the series has been altered. Fans will recall that Lafayette Reynolds who is a victim in book one of the series remains alive and well in the fourth season. In fact, she is considered to be one of the most popular characters in the series. But even with these surprising twists, most of the episodes remain true to the books that they come from.

The same story lines are played out in the television series and there are no plans for any sudden changes to take place. In fact, even though a considerable amount of creative control is provided to Ball, Harris does screen each episode in advance. While she could potentially demand some adjustments to be made, the likelihood of that happening is very slim.

What you are going to find is that  the author does put things into prospective at the same time. She is very open about her support of the television show and reminds readers that they are two very different platforms for entertainment. In fact, she goes on to suggest that they should be viewed as complimentary items, rather that two forums that should be competing with each other.

While the future of Sookie Stackhouse in the True Blood series is unknown, fans of both the book and the television series can continue enjoying having regular episodes and books that can enjoyed in this process as well. After all, this combination of items is perfect for those who cannot get enough of the series. That is more than most people can ask for, especially when you consider the amount of quality that goes into the books and the film series as well.

Just be sure that you keep in mind that while there are going to be differences, both Ball and Harris have the heart of the series at mind. That alone should give some peace of mind to the fans of the series and let them put things in perspective at the same time. This is after all nothing more than a work of fiction that while it has some differences in it, still delivers the entertainment value that fans can expect from this series.

True Blood Star Graduates College

While he normally bares all in the True Blood series, Alexander Skarsgard sported some very honorable clothes when he recently received an honorary degree from the Leeds Metropolitan University. The star that plays Eric Northman was presented with the honorary doctorate degree after only taking six months of courses in 1996. His studies at the time were largely focused on the English language and the Swedish star has certainly shown he can wield the language well.

It was during this time though that an interesting revelation came out. The actor focused more on the parties as Leeds, rather than spending time learning the language. Still he turned out quite well and has quickly become a very popular actor thanks to his role in the True blood series as he portrays vampire Eric Northman.

Soon after leaving there, he enrolled in a Manhattan college that has a theater department where he could take courses to help fine tune his acting skills. These of course helped him to improve his talent and to prepare him for his roles on film as well.

Just like he did before, he quit after a few months of lessons and returned to Stockholm for a time. However, he never could forget the joy he had from the acting classes. Because of that, he decided to move forward and pursued his dream. This ended with him landing the role on the hit television series True Blood and since that time he has quickly become a fan favorite as well. In fact, there has been an increase of screen time for him in recent years as well. Something, the actor certainly doesn’t mind.

There is no doubt that as time progresses this talented actor will continue to move forward with the roles that he places and that there will be a chance for him to continue his role in the True Blood television series.

What remains interesting is although the actor has received the doctorate and continues to improve with his acting, fans still can only talk about one thing. The fact is that Alexander has spent quite a bit of time wearing far less on the show and even seems to be enticing main character Sookie Stakehouse as he approached her from a lake wearing nothing more than a set of fangs.

Where his career heads in the future in uncertain, but most people will agree that it does remain bright and that this actor will continue to follow his passion and make some great entertainment for his legion of fans to enjoy. Be it on the television show True Blood or somewhere beyond.

That of course, is something that we can all look forward to. True Blood Season Four is currently airing on HBO and you can watch the new set of events for Alexander and the remainder of the cast as the series plays out each week with new episodes inspired by the Charlaine Harris series.
