"Rob Kazinsky has admitted that he expected a &amp;quot;backlash&amp;quot; against his character on True Blood. The former EastEnders star plays Ben, a new love interest for Sookie (Anna Paquin), in the HBO drama&amp;#039;s sixth season.  &amp;quot;I knew there would be a certain backlash from corners of the audience,&amp;quot; he told TV Guide. &amp;quot;The Bill, Eric and Alcide camps certainly wouldn&amp;#039;t appreciate having another love interest in town.&amp;quot; Kazinsky joked that he wants to &amp;quot;upset those camps&amp;quot; and claimed that Ben could be a better match for Sookie than her other suitors. &amp;quot;Ben is the first character that has been on this show as a love interest for her that is actually a good guy - that could actually be a life for her,&amp;quot; he explained. &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re both as lost and lonely as each other... so they&amp;#039;re more like kin than perhaps she&amp;#039;s found before.&amp;quot; True Blood airs on Sundays at 9/8c on HBO. The show&amp;#039;s sixth season will debut on FOX this autumn in the UK. &amp;gt; True Blood Rob Kazinsky: &amp;#039;Working on EastEnders was hard&amp;#039; Watch Rob Kazinsky in True Blood below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
