True Blood: Who Should Sookie Hook Up with Next?

Originally posted 06/24/2011 03:10PM

With Sunday's season premiere of True Blood, fans are eagerly set to anticipate the fate of heroine Sookie Stackhouse – particularly where her love life will lead her.

As played by Anna Paquin, Sookie spent the first two seasons of the HBO hit engaging in some of TV's most explicit, lusty romps with her vampire lover Bill Compton, portrayed by Paquin's real-life husband, Stephen Moyer.

At the end of season 3, Sookie learned the heartbreaking secret that Bill had been sent on a mission to woo her by the Queen of Louisiana – putting into question everything about the relationship between the two.

Was their entire romance a sham, or did he truly fall in love with Sookie? Could she ever trust him again?
