Wow - we weren't sure that could be done.
Alan had a few hints on the big threat for our heroine Sookie this series. "As the show progresses, we know there is a character who is up to no good and is dangerous long before any of the other characters on the show know it," he revealed.
As for the show's sexy element, Alan insisted that he doesn't feel the series is gratuitous.
"This season, I did not feel like we needed to up the ante just to up the ante. There is a scene where Sookie and Bill make love in the first episode that basically on the page it said 'Sookie and Bill make love.' Then I saw the dailies cut together ... and I was like ‘Oh, wow! OK.’
"I love it and I think that’s part of the appeal of the show. I don't think we do anything gratuitously. But it's important to show that between Sookie and Bill, there is this incredible, erotic chemistry."
But what about Bill's love rival, Eric Northman?
"I did feel like it was important to make Eric more frightening and see more of his monstrous side because as we progress we see more of his more human side," added Alan.
Another character whose storyline will differ from Charlaine Harris' original vision is Sookie's brother, the delectable Jason Stackhouse.
Alan revealed: "In the books, Jason is very much the hot guy in town who is the womanizer. Once we started to flesh him out, no pun intended, we saw that he is sexually compulsive.
"Ultimately, Jason is a scared little boy that has been abandoned by everyone he has ever loved. In the second season, he is very much aware of the deep hole in his soul and he’s looking to fill that. As many people do, he latches onto religion and becomes part of an organization that makes him feel special. But of course, as time goes on ... let’s just say Jason can’t leave his clothes on too long."
The Geeky Girls are glad to hear it.
