True Blood is busy filming for season 5. This week they revisited a prior location to film. SPOILERS- don’t look unless you want a bit of spoiling!! Click on READ MORE:

The former hospital in southern California was also used for season 3 episode 7. Sookie was brought to the “Monroe, La” hospital to recover after being drained by Vampire Bill (in the back of the van). I was able to get some photos 4/1/10 of the filming for season 3 link here has the photo gallery:

The screen caps below are from season 3 episode 7 showing the interior of the hospital. They were seen filming in a different room this time but the layouts are still similar.

The actual hospital is not in Monroe Louisiana but in California. This same hospital has been used in many films and TV shows. Criminal Minds is filming at the same location once True Blood finishes their filming.

The filming was all interior shots. We could see many extras on set in hospital garb-doctors, nurses, patients and paramedics were on hand.

The real heros of the show who put together all the gear and sets that make the magic for fans (here shown assembling a gurney):

So now the big question is which True Blood character is in need of “healing” this time for season 5? Waiting sucks! Yes I have a pretty good idea of who is the patient but do not wish to ruin it for fans. Waiting sucks!

The gallery below has the rest of the photos I was able to get from the location.
