Eric Northman Gets a New Love Interest in True Blood Season 7!

Many fans of HBO’s True Blood have been waiting six seasons for Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgard) to hook up for good. While Season 4 saw them take a brief meander through Romanceville, there has not yet been the ongoing relationship that was portrayed in the novels by Charlaine Harris that the TV series is based on. According to E!Online, it seems like a long term relationship will not be occurring in Season 7 either!

It has been reported that Eric will be getting a new love interest that goes by the name of Slyvie (or is that Sylvie, perhaps?). Either way, E!Online had the following to say about this mysterious new character:

Slyvie is a drop-dead gorgeous and can speak fluent French.

Yowsers! I wonder what Sookie will have to say about that? Or will she even care now that she is shacked up with Alcide Herveaux (Joe Manganiello), Sheveport’s resident rogue werewolf? And why a French speaking woman? Considering Eric left us in the final episode of Season 7 as a sizzling vampire atop a mountain range somewhere in Sweden, it would make more sense he be rescued by a Swedish speaking woman. Oh, how the plot thickens!

What do you think about this turn of events? Let us know in the comments below.
