Stephen Moyer: Bill Compton May Be Around For A While

SPOILER ALERT: If you haven’t read the Sookie Stackhouse novels, the following contains spoilers about Bill Compton’s future.

In an interview with TVGuide.com, Stephen Moyer addresses the question about whether Bill Compton will be around beyond the third season of True Blood, since he’s pretty much absent after the third book in the series:

“That gives Alan the opportunity to invent something,” Moyer tells TVGuide.com. “Just like last season with the V trips — they had to invent that. And they’re very good at it. So I’m confident that however they keep him there, they’ll make Bill’s story interesting.”

“What I think is interesting is the love triangle — giving your characters conflict is always much more interesting to watch than suddenly making Sookie and Eric have a relationship,” Moyer says, noting that Bill and Sookie can’t — and shouldn’t — always be happy together.

Stephen also reveals a couple of tidbits about what we’ll be seeing this season, and gleefully witholds a juicy tidbit, the punk. Read the entire interview at TVGuide.com.
