So, are you threatened by the huge Sookie/Eric fanbase that is out there, that wants them together?
I think that… I mean, I love Alex and, you know, he’s unfeasibly tall, which is not such a good thing [grins]. But Alex is great and they’ve got great chemistry. The show works on triangles and stuff going wrong. And whenever we see a couple together, you’re then wondering about what it would be like to see those two together, and I think that that’s absolutely natural in drama. And if you go to any series, they’ve done that all the time in any dramatic series, and I’m aware that that is part of it.
