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."
Some people hydrate for sporting competitions with water or energy drinks.
Some people – like True Blood star Ryan Kwanten – prefer booze.
"I've been known to turn up drunk at triathlons and do very well," the Australian actor, 33, tells Men's Health magazine in its November issue.

Sorry ladies, Joe Manganiello is off the market.
While on vacation in Italy the True Blood heartthrob, 33, popped the question to his girlfriend, actress/model Audra Marie, his rep tells PEOPLE.
Manganiello, who plays werewolf Alcide Herveaux on the HBO drama, and Marie met at a 2009 Super Bowl party, but it was anything but love at first sight.
"She wouldn't go out with me for six months," Manganiello told PEOPLE in September. "We started dating a few months before I got cast [on True Blood]."

Always pay attention to your instincts. That's what Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) learned on the season finale of True Blood Sunday.
Earlier in the season, Sookie wondered if she could really trust her on-again, off-again vampire beau Bill Compton, played by Paquin's real-life husband Stephen Moyer.
After Sunday, it seems like the answer is no – or is it?

And to think, the screen's longtime Dracula, Bela Lugosi, died practically broke. But by a brand new count, the current vampire craze – on TV and in movies, books and merchandising – is estimated to be pumping some $7 billion (that's with a b) into the showbiz economy. Suddenly, money is flowing like blood.
Taking into account the $20 million box-office of this past weekend's batty Twilight parody Vampires Suck, the 5 million devotees of HBO's weekly True Blood, and the bestselling titles from authors Justin Cronin (The Passage), Stephenie Meyer (Breaking Dawn) and Charlaine Harris (Dead and Gone), the Hollywood Reporter estimates that in the past two years, bloodsuckers have pumped new life into Tinsel Town, creating what the trade paper terms an "entire inexhaustible industry."
