It's the No. 1 question on the lips of every Eric and Sookie fan: Will we ever see those two in the steamy sex scene in the shower from the book?

Thankfully, Alan Ball and the cast of "True Blood" had a titillating answer to that burning question, plus tons of other fun spoilers from the rest of season four (and hints at season five)....

Very early on during the True Blood panel at Comic-Con, that shower scene question came up. Ball leaned back, thought for a moment, and then said, "There will be a moment where Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Eric (Alexander Skarsgrd) are together in the shower. But it may be weirder and dirtier than the one in the book."

So, not only will we get a hot shower scene, but it's going to be dirtier than the original scene?

We will give you a moment to freak out. After you catch your breath, check out the rest of the highlights from the True Blood Comic-Con panel:

Ball promises a strip club in season five that has both male and female strippers. Plus, there will be "a completely different twisted supernatural aspect" of the establishment.

Flashback alert! We will find out how Eric made Pam (Kristin Bauer) next season.

When a fan asked if the Sam (Sam Trammell) and Tara (Rutina Wesley) romance was done, Ball responded with a hopeful: "Nothing is ever done on this show."

'True Blood' star says show is not kid friendly

The crowd got a sneak peek at the rest of season four in the form of a short trailer, and it ended with Sookie on the ground bleeding in a graveyard!

Here's a teasing reminder from Ball, who was extra mysterious about why he said it: "For those who read the books, you know that fairies are born in litters and are identical."

If you have been unhappy with the amount of Sookie nakedness, you will definitely be pleased with the rest of this season. "She takes her clothes off all the time," says Ball.

    Comic-Con, the annual San Diego-based convention for lovers of fantasy, science-fiction and horror genres, has expanded exponentially since its modest start in 1970 as a comic book fan gathering. Today, attention from TV and film studios make it a must-attend event throughout the entertainment industry.
