“Chuck” alum Yvonne Strahovski joins cast of “Dexter,” Showtime releases first image

It seems like too much to ask for in one day but not only do we get to see the first image of season seven of the Showtime hit Dexter (above), but now we are also learning some casting news! Chuck alum Yvonne Strahovski will appear in a multi-episode story arc in the role of “Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her. As a turn of events leads Miami Metro Homicide to ask for her help in solving some old cases, Dexter (Michael C Hall) works with her and begins to wonder if there’s more to this woman than she’s professed.”

Production on season seven began last week and will premiere on SHOWTIME on Sunday, September 30th at 9 p.m. ET/PT, just a day shy of my birthday! Geez guys, you shouldn’t have!

So let’s talk about the first photo showing that the series will pick up just where they left us during the big cliffhanger last season. Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) has just seen her brother ritualistically kill Travis, the s6 baddy right before her eyes. There is no way he can get out of this one, or is there?

I highly doubt the team of executive producers and writers would let ol’ Dex off the hook that easy. So its definitely going to be an adventure to see just how Deb will react and how much of his past will unravel before her eyes.

Homegirl bleeds blue but Dexter is her family. I’m gearing up for another exciting season!!

Will Deb find out about Dexter’s dark passenger this season?

Evidence is mounting that season six will be THE season when Deborah Morgan (Jennifer Carpenter) discovers her brother Dexter’s (Michael C Hall) killer secret. Michael Ausiello just posted his weekly spoilers that have all but confirmed the finale will be another showstopper!

Question: Please tell me this is the season Deb finds out about Dexter‘s recreational activities. How much longer can they drag this out? —Steve
Ausiello: I’ll say this: Something happens towards the end of the Season 6 that will forever alter the show’s DNA. Interpret as you like.

My vote is: Deb will find out that her brother is a serial killer and her reaction is what will alter the show’s DNA. There is no denying that she is a die hard detective but she has always had a soft spot for her brother. Would she turn him in? Would Dexter give up or even worse, kill her in order to keep his secret hidden?

The fall television season can’t arrive soon enough.

Showtime also released this fabulous behind-the-scenes video last week with cast interviews and some insight on the roles of guest stars Colin Hanks and Edward James Olmos.

January Jones and Jennifer Carpenter are Beverly Hills shoppers

Mommy-to-be January Jones and her good friend Jennifer Carpenter were spotted having a good ol’ time together while shopping in Beverly Hills, California on Sunday, June 11th, 2011. The blond X-Men: First Class star was dressed in a loose fitting, patterned dress with a skinny belt helping accent her growing baby bump and a black cardigan while her Dexter buddy wore a plaid shirt, jeans and sandals.

Speaking of the new Marvel movie, I finally had a chance to watch it yesterday afternoon and I absolutely loved it! Besides the gorgeous combination of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender, January held her own in the tiny white costumes she wore for her role as Emma Frost.

People have been having a field day guessing who January’s potential baby daddy could be. The name that keeps popping up is Matthew Vaughn who directed the Mad Men actress in the X-Men film. He also happens to be married to supermodel Claudia Schiffer with whom he has three kids!

Let’s hope for his sake this is all just a bunch of worthless gossip. For right now, January is not saying a word about it.

Teaser Video: Dexter Season Six!

Only just this week I started ranting on Twitter about how much I’ve been missing Dexter and how badly I need them to start shooting so that I have at least something to dissect and look forward to! The folks at Showtime must have been following my feed because this morning this uploaded the first teaser video for season six!!

The announcer takes us on a journey back to where it all began with season one and the villainous Ice Truck Killer a.k.a. his brother Brian (Christian Camargo), followed by the search for the Bay Harbor Butcher that ends up claiming the life of Doakes (Erik King) and then Miguel Prado (Jimmy Smits) having to be put down, with everything coming to a head in season four with the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow).

That was a bloody trip down memory lane, but what can we expect for thew new season? Check out the video below and submit your guesses!

Make sure to stayed tuned right here for any and all pictures we can get our hands on of Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter when they return to set. The word across the internet yesterday is that the on-screen brother and sister will find themselves under a microscope this season.

Has it finally come time for Deb to find out her brothers secret?

Spotted: Pregnant January Jones and Ricky Martin at Lakers Game

Between the royal wedding and the death of Osama bin Laden, I somehow managed to miss the news that January Jones is pregnant! That of course might have been done intentionally on her part to try to keep the gossip to a minimum. But with these new images of her with an obvious baby bump, it will get people talking about it again!

The Mad Men actress was photographed at the Lakers vs Dallas semi-finals game in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday, May 2nd, 2011 with Dexter star Jennifer Carpenter. Also spotted arriving were Puerto Rican papi Ricky Martin, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson, and Joe Jonas.

Jones is not saying a peep about who the baby daddy is but she is saying that she is excited about become a mom.
