Sometimes Anna Paquin's most intimate moments with husband Stephen Moyer aren't so intimate. Like when there's a camera crew filming them.
"Maybe it should be weird, simulating sex with your husband in front of people? But it's really not," the True Blood star tells V Magazine of her steamy scenes on the HBO vampire series with her character's lover, played by Moyer.
"When it's a love scene with someone you actually love, there's no feeling like, 'Can I touch him here? Can I touch him there?' You know what your boundaries are – or what they aren't, I suppose."

As evidenced by True Blood's season 4 premiere Sunday night, a lot has changed since fans last saw Sookie Stackhouse and the residents of Bon Temps.
Spoiler alert: Major new plot points revealed below.
Sookie begins the episode in a glowing Eden-like fairyland that exists on an alternate plane and its own timeframe. There she meets her fairy godmother, Claudine – and runs into her grandfather, whom she hasn't seen in 20 years (though he thought it was only the day before). The idyllic scene quickly turns sinister when an evil fairy chases Sookie, who narrowly escapes back into her own, human realm.
Once home, Sookie learns that although in fairyland only a few minutes passed, she's been missing for more than a year. Her brother Jason and everyone else presumed she was dead, likely at the hands of a vampire, and Jason has sold her house to an unknown company. And that's not the only big change since Sookie's been gone:

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?

Anna Paquin is one lucky girl!
The True Blood heroine finds herself surrounded by a host of sexy leading men – Alexander Skarsgard, Joe Manganiello, and real-life husband Stephen Moyer – in new photos released by HBO to promote the upcoming fourth season of the vampy show.
Last viewers checked in with Paquin's Sookie Stackhouse, she had left Bon Temps, La., for her fairy relatives, and had shut Moyer's Bill Compton out of her life after Skarsgard's vampire character Eric revealed her love's betrayal.

True Blood heartthrob Joe Manganiello asked his true love, actress-model Audra Marie, to marry him during a recent Italian vacation because he realized she was it.
"I knew early on that she was the one for me," Manganiello, 33, told PEOPLE Saturday night at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek's "Haunting" weekend event in south Florida. "I wasn't expecting to get married just yet, but when I felt this was the right situation for me, I decided to go ahead."
In September, Manganiello, who plays the wondrous werewolf Alcide Herveaux on HBO's hit vampire series, told PEOPLE that Marie is a "great dresser, gorgeous, tall, sweet, and she makes crazy English breakfasts."
