True Blood was filming in New Orleans late last night! Lucky fans were able to get some great photos with the cast and also some of the rehearsals. The photo above shows Denis O’Hare, Stephen Moyer and Alexander Skarsgard with a lucky fan!! (Carolyn Hennesy, Michael McMillian, Peter Mensah and Lucy Griffiths were aslo seen in some of the photos) The image above is from melinnis.  SOURCE

It also look like Eric is helping Bill!? He is seen carrying Bill Compton on his back.

Here’s another angle on the “vamp piggy-back ride”:

Eric Northman, Viking Vampire to the rescue! Season 5 looks like it has a lot of wild scenes for us. Even Denis O’Hare could not help tweeting how wild it was last night with the crowds watching them film.
