Eric Northman Vs Bill Compton
Update: Comments are now closed. Cast your final vote on the Eric vs Bill Contest through our poll here.
So a few weeks back I did a fun little “would you rather” on Eric from The Sookie Stackhouse books versus Edward from the Twilight books. Eric won by a landslide. Here is a new one, this time I’m keeping it in the Sookie series. So who would rather sink your teeth into between Eric Northman and Bill Compton? Here are the stats:
Eric Northman
Hair: Blond
Eyes: Blue
Age: 1,000+
Notes: He’s easy on the eyes, the most powerful vamp in area 5, and owns his own bar. He’s also over 1,000 years old, which makes him way older more powerful than Bill.
Bill Compton
Hair: Dark
Age: 174
Notes: Bill is a Civil War vet, how hot is that? He’s also handsome like Eric, but unlike Eric, Bill is the nice guy. While Eric is somewhat arrogant and manipulative, Bill is sweet and charming.

I love Bill. He trys so hard to hold on to his humanity against all odds. But he is not a choir boy by any means.
Eric.
William Thomas Compton. The gentlemanly Civil War vet beats the Viking everytime!
William Thomas Compton!!!!! Always and Forever!!!!
Well since I have read the books and watched True Blood I will still have to go with BILL all the way… But to some of the commenters Thank goodness Alan Ball isn’t going with the books 100%….
Bill is mahhhhn.
“but unlike Eric, Bill is the nice guy. While Eric is somewhat arrogant and manipulative, Bill is sweet and charming.”
This is absolutely ONLY true if you’re basing your comments solely off the show and ignoring the books. In the books Bill is a conniving manipulating bastard. Eric may be manipulative, but he’s transparent and sincere. He never lies about what he wants. He may omit the truth, but he’s a much better man/vampire than Bill Compton could ever dream of being.
Eric all the way!!
Oh Bill, won’t you please come in my life? If he were only real..Bill ALWAYS!!! Eric NEVER!!! In fact Stephen Moyer ALWAYS!!! Alex NEVER!!!
Eric *-*
Bill. Bill. Bill. Hot, sweet, smoldering, sexy. There’s simply no other vampire that interests me in the least.
Definitely Eric Northman! I completely agree with samantha stanley. Bill is so fake and people are so convinced of his sincerity when all the long he’s been playing Sookie the whole time. Based on the books, I cannot stand William Compton since he’s a liar and a total manipulator!
Eric may be arrogant and vapid at times, but he’s true and honest when it counts and he’s very considerate when it comes to Sookie, hence the re-graveled driveway, the cranberry winter coat, saving her life…
If we are basing on the books, I would have to go with Eric. Even though he can be manipulative and self serving, but he can be protective to the vampires and people who governs under him. He was always there for Sookie, saving her life on several occasions and paid for her new driveway when she needed it. Now in the books, Bill maybe sweet at first, but he was also a liar, ambivalent to what Sookie really needs and wasn’t there when Sookie was in danger. He was also secretive and not completely honest with his intentions whereas Eric was more direct and up front of what he really wanted. Overall, Bill can be the sweet, southern gentlemen, but boring. Eric has a great sense of humor, offers great excitement and has many layers. He also inspires a lot of loyalty in the vampires who serve him(which is also reflected on the show). On the show, is a different matter.
Eric, no contest.
ERIC!! Without a doubt
What is wrong with you Bill lovers? Don’t you pay any attention to details?
Bill constantly lies to Sookie. On TB he kills her uncle, kills Jessica and doesn’t tell her until he’s forced to. When he was at the Queens palace..you could tell he knew Hadley, Sookies cousin. So why has he never mentioned that to Sookie? What else is he keeping from her? He is a liar, who blames all his secrecy on protecting Sookie. When in fact he’s protecting himself. In the books he is a manipulator,liar, and cheater. Always..poor Bill..Oh I forgot to mention CHEAP with his money. Eric on the other hand is more truthful, even if it hurts sometimes..But he does things for Sookie. If she has a problem he fixes it. If she needs money or clothes, new driveway,, Eric is there for her. Not Bill,,,he is always professes his love,,but never showing it…ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.. AND ERIC IS THE ONE WHO SHOWS IT ALWAYS
P.S. PLEASE TAKE YOUR HEADS OUT OF SAND… I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
Is an Eric/ Bill sandwich out of the question?
Bill is the man
BILL 24/7
All my love is going to William Thomas Compton. Yes!!!!!
Bill is a dream come true.
Bill. Only Bill. Always Bill. Yes, I’ve read the books for anyone who actually cares. In the books and shows, he is motivated by love always. Love Stephen Moyer.
