"True Blood star Joe Manganiello has explained the romance between Alcide and Debbie. The pair are back together in the fourth season and Manganiello told Digital Spy that he believes it is partly because of their werewolf genes. &amp;quot;I did a lot of research on wolves and things and there&amp;#039;s a chemical wolves secrete,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s the mate for life chemical and it&amp;#039;s in wolves and not dogs. &amp;quot;So I thought about that, and I thought about how difficult it must be for them to separate. And also growing up as a werewolf and living hidden from society, you can&amp;#039;t open up to normal people. You couldn&amp;#039;t just go out on a date with a human girl and tell her who you were unless you were really sure.&amp;quot; Manganiello continued: &amp;quot;It would probably make the dating pool a lot smaller. And as you found out in season three, the werewolves are a bit of a rough bunch. So it&amp;#039;s probably slim pickings in the dating pool as far as werewolves go!&amp;quot; However, Manganiello hinted that viewers should stay tuned to True Blood to see whether the relationship will continue to survive. &amp;quot;Debbie&amp;#039;s obviously tried to make amends for her past transgressions and done so in such a convincing manner that Alcide would give her another shot,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;So obviously only time will tell how good of a job she does, or how consistent of a job she does.&amp;quot; The fourth season of True Blood continues on Sundays at 9pm. The third season will air in the UK on Channel 4 in early September. &amp;gt; Joe Manganiello: &amp;#039;True Blood training makes me want to smash things&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
