Sam Trammell talks about new series of True Blood

If the definitive film of the current vampire craze is the Twilight franchise, then the definitive television series is True Blood.

Stylised, sexy and unrelentingly dark, the first series captured a fanatic audience with its tales of the inhabitants of fictional Louisiana town Bon Temps, where vampires live uncomfortably alongside their human neighbours.

Bar owner Sam Merlotte, played by Sam Trammell, attempts to break down the barriers by stocking synthetic blood (called Tru:Blood) alongside draft beer and vodka shooters, so fanged customers can drink with their human counterparts.

But problems brew in the town after a string of unsolved murders, and Sam's waitress Sookie, played by former child Oscar-winner Anna Paquin, finds her relationship with vampire Bill, played by British actor Stephen Moyer, questioned by all around.

Sam, 38, says there's even more danger in the town in series two.

You know i love Sam he has a lot of
character and no telling how his part
will go on the show,but he is heading
in,i think in the right direction. I
am not sure how it will be in the
show ,but in one of the books he tells Sookie about his Irish grand-
mother making a potion when he was
in the army to keep him from changing
at full moon.you know that the Irish
believe in the little people and
fae and seem to know every thing
that goes on there,he was sent
maybe to watch over Sookie to.
and nothing else has been said
about him being part Irish,i
would like to know if any thing
will ever come out about it.
