You thought the last season of True Blood was crazy? Prepare to have the word redefined for you this Sunday when the HBO hit series returns!

"There's some crazy stuff that goes on with me in the premiere," star Joe Manganiello teased when he stopped by E! News' Casual Friday to chat with Catt Sadler, before dishing more on Alcide's threesome in the season six opener. Now if that won't prompt you to set a series record on your DVR, we don't know what will!

Manganiello and his costar Kristin Bauer van Straten, who plays fan-favorite vamp Pam, also dished on season six's major death and how they said goodbye to their fellow castmember!

It sounds like Alcide won't be the only Bon Temps resident getting a little action in the season six premiere, which should please fans of Pam and Tara's (Rutina Wesley) unexpected connection. "There's a little something," Bauer van Straten teased of the pair, while Manganiello hinted at some "some tender moments" for Pam.

Still, viewers shouldn't expect to see a lot of relationship drama going down as Bauer van Straten explained, "The vampire world, we're in a bit of crisis this year, so the vampire relationships are developing and being challenged under fire. There isn't a ton of time for romance."

But there will be time for a major death, one which upset the cast at the table-read, with Manganiello revealing, "There were some tears shed!" At least the fallen castmember got to have some cake before they departed the series: "That's a tradition, when a major cast member dies, we have red velvet cake, like bloody cake," Manganiello spilled. "We eat bloody cake and the new go back to work…unless you have a shirtless scene, then you don't have cake!"

True Blood returns Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO.
