Love it or hate it, the season finale of HBO's True Blood took Sookie and Bill's relationship to a new level.
But series creator Alan Ball may be taking a page from Charlaine Harris' original Sookie Stackhouse books to throw a stake-sized wrench into their impending nuptials, according to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello (spoilers ahead!):
Ball isn't ruling out incorporating a major (and controversial) plot point from the books that, up to now, has only been hinted at in the series (spoiler alert): That Bill came to Bon Temps and seduced Sookie with the ulterior motive of getting her to work for Queen Sophie-Anne.
"It's certainly something that I found really compelling in the books," says Ball of Bill's deep, dark secret. "I was like, 'Wow.' But I can't really tell you what I'm going to do story-wise. So much of the appeal of the show depends on the element of surprise."
What do you think? Should Ball incorporate this nasty surprise? Should he keep Bill (Stephen Moyer) and Sookie (Anna Paquin) together? Should Sookie hook up with Eric (Alexander Skarsgård)? Do you care?

i dont know if i agree with that because i love sookie and bill together. but ill tel u itll turn the whole story around and it will shock everyone!
I personally hope they use this storyline!
I love and adore Bill and Sookie - show and books, but more on the show - and I could see Ball doing some version of the story. I don't think it would be exactly the same since the info is so ubiquitous and he's even addressing it outright here and not just obliquely referring to it.
I think it could be great stuff and give Stephen and Anna a chance to totally tear it up acting-wise. Ultimately, though, I'd want Bill and Sookie to reunite, stronger than ever, as our true destined lovers.
Or he could leave it out and Bill and Sookie could just dance and romance the rest of their days on the show. Not gonna lie, I would so watch that. :)
Follow the books! FOLLOW THE BOOKS!
Yes, it should be shown. Artistic liberty is good for the show but some parts have to stay the same for the continuity.
Bill has played Sookie from the beginning and it needs to be shown.
I'm such a Sookie/Eric shipper so my opinion is biased!
