Recently, Kristin Bauer got interviewed about Season 5 of HBO’s True Blood by fans on UInterview.com.
Kimberly wanted to know about the relationship between Pam and Eric (played by Alexander Skarsgård), suggesting that there was more than the love for a maker going on between the two. Bauer explains (while trying not to give anything away) that Pam’s story and her behavior both as a vampire and in relation to Eric will be explained in Season 5 – especially within the first 4 episodes!
Benjamin wanted to know all about Tru Blood and what it was made of. Kristin explained that there are actually a few different variants of it since sometimes they need it in different consistencies, but mostly it is made from corn syrup and food colouring.
The question was also asked about what were some of Kristin Bauer’s favorite behind the scenes moments on set. While Bauer quickly pointed out that most days were hilarious on set, not just from the obvious line fluffs, but from pranksters such as Aussie actor Ryan Kwanten (who plays Sookie’s brother, Jason Stackhouse), she did also include one funny incident from Season 4:
One of the biggest laughs that we’ve had at my expense… was in Season 4 when we were outside of Moon Goddess Emporium. We were being pulled into the force field… and were fighting it but we couldn’t, but we were scared, so how do you do that? So the director said; “Alright, let’s start shooting that.” And we go, “Any idea how to do that?” He said; “No”… Stephen and Alex, who are like my bigger brothers, turn and look at me and are like; “This will be good.” I’m like; “Alright, alright, can we have a pact where we don’t laugh at each other?” And they both went; “Oh, no.” They… had to do this spastic wacky walk for five feet. I was about a hundred yards back by myself. Deborah Ann Woll is probably the nicest person on Earth and she laughed so hard at me that her neck was wet with tears. Then they ran over to playback… And they all stood around there and laughed at me.
The last question came from Justin, who wanted to know if Pam’s fondness for the ladies would translate from the Charlaine Harris books into the HBO series. Kristin admits that she is also interested to see how HBO tackles this. Although, she did have reservations:
I suspect, that if we go long enough, and also because of the books, that we are gonna see this side of Pam, and I would also love to know who is this person who Pam would be with. I mean she really just only has a place in her heart for Eric at this time. So the answer to the question is, it’s highly possible, as it is True Blood, and I’m looking forward to it as well, and my mother probably is not.
