HOLLYWOOD —What is going on here? That’s the question on many Truebies minds when they watch the various season three trailers for “True Blood” on HBO. After successfully helping to kill a maenad, vampire Bill Compton, played by Stephen Moyer took his beautiful girlfriend Sookie, played by Oscar-winner Anna Paquin to a lavish restaurant in order to propose to her. A nervous Sookie darted into the ladies room to powder her nose and talk herself into making the right decision. By the time Sookie decided the answer was yes, that she’d ignore the prejudices humans have against vampires and that she was really in love with Bill, she came out to an empty room. A chair lay on the floor and Bill had been kidnapped by a gloved suspect using a silver chain to drag Bill out of the beautiful restaurant.

Also on the last episode last year Jason had shot and killed Eggs, Tara’s life was in shambles after being controlled by Maryann and her evil powers and Sam who was almost killed as Maryann’s sacrifice was on the road looking for his biological parents, who gave him up for adoption when he was a baby. Sam, a shape shifter, played by talented star Sam Trammell is in for a nightmare this year, but he’s not the only one. The fans of the hit vampire drama are in for an absolute treat when the mystery of who kidnapped Bill Compton is finally revealed.

Fans speculate on their ideas of Bill Compton’s mysterious disappearance. Bobby Head stated, “Two names come to mind. The vampire Queen Sophie and Lorena. I think one of the two or perhaps both had a hand in Bill’s kidnapping. Lorena for the obvious reason, she’s desperately in love with Bill and Queen Sophie, who seems to hate Bill for having feeling for humans and not just using them for amusement, as she does. One thing is for sure. an exciting third season and nail biting suspense awaits us.”

Fan and reader Kim said, “I’m certainly looking forward to the next season of ”˜True Blood.’ I can’t wait to find out who grabbed Bill. It might possibly be Eric since there is his interest in Sookie, plus he knows that Bill knows he [Eric] is dealing vampire blood. However, Eric is just too obvious so it’s probably not him. Whoever it was, what rotten timing to grab poor Bill on such a sweet romantic night! That truly sucks. No pun intended!”

While avid viewer Tony tells Canyon News, “I had thought that Eric was behind it somehow. I was sure that Eric was behind this! Now, after seeing a few minutes of the premiere, it may not be him at all. Could it have been Alcide as a favor to Eric? One thing comes to mind, Tommy. Sookie is without his help and protection! She must fend for herself now. However, she is a very strong and resourceful young lady.”

Actress Kelly DeSarla who stars in the upcoming film “Confession,” and also starred in Henry Jaglom’s “Irene in Time” tells Canyon News, “I am very excited about the upcoming season. Alcide the werewolf is played by my former costar Joe [Manganiello]. He’s a superb actor and fans will fall in love with him, even if Alcide is not a good guy. Whatever he does, I know he’s going to be great.”

Fans of “True Blood” are even more excited about Where is Bill is than TV viewers were almost two decades ago when “Dallas” asked the question, “Who Shot J.R.?” From the looks of things, Bill is most likely in the deep dark woods of Louisiana.
