Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten) share their first on-screen kiss in episode 503, ‘We’ll Meet Again’
After three stellar performances for Kristin Bauer van Straten as Pam on True Blood, she dishes on smooching her friend Alexander Skarsgård to Access Hollywood‘s Jolie Lash.
Access: This season on ‘True Blood’ it was revealed that Pam had gotten together with Eric (in her backstory). When you saw that in the script – and you’re friends with Alexander Skarsgard – what went through your head?
Kristin: I have such comfort with Alex and such trust that I just kept trying to picture what I wanted the scene to look like, because we’ve waited so long for this… We’ve known Pam for the last five years, and she’s 100-and-some-years-old. We know that she’s pretty unapologetic, she’s pretty blunt, she’s pretty harsh, she really only has affection for one person and then [as an actress, I] work my way backwards and go, ‘Wait a minute, what would be the genesis of that? How do I find the vulnerability? I have to show the vulnerability because we have to understand why she leapt into this other life and chose it.’
Access: You actually got to kiss Alex for the first time. He talks about those kinds of things as part of the job, but when you actually have to kiss a friend – after all this time – it seems like it would be a little weird.
Kristin: Yeah, I know. [But] for some reason, it didn’t feel weird… But Stephen [Moyer, who plays Bill Compton] and Mariana Klaveno [who plays Lorena]… they were standing right outside the doorway to that room in the brothel… So we kiss and [Alex] sort of scoops me and twirls me out of the scene — one of my legs is incredibly tangled up inside the skirts… I’m battling with this fabric and six inches from Stephen and Mariana who are staring at us like they’re watching their parents make out.
Access: Oh no!
Kristin: I look at them and go, ‘What?’ and they go, ‘It’s like watching our parents kiss.’ I’m like, ‘What do you mean by that!’ So there’s always this difference between the experience of filming it and then what it looks like, and I felt like when I watched it that it was good. It was perfect.

HBO keeps sneaking in new True Blood character promos. This video contains two videos in one. The first is of Sookie (Anna Paquin), Bill (Stephen Moyer) & Eric (Alexander Skarsgård) and the second is just Eric showing off his fangs.
Please note: there were way more Eric in these videos, so there are more screen caps of him. (Don’t shoot me!) The Bill clips were either the same as his promo video or in a net, & it was really hard to get a screen cap of Bill in that dang net!
