Woooo!!! Go Julie Benz!!
love julie benz…loved her in buffy and angel..never seen dexter..and love desperate housewives..cant wait
Buffy alums, even Zander, ususally get good work!
sorry to be obnoxious..but, as a devoted fan and someone who used to have a major crush on him, I gotta tell you, it’s Xander, not Zander..short for Alexander.
i’m so happy for julie benz!
I think she’s a great fit for the show…too bad guest stars like that never last on DH.
That’s a pretty big spoiler. Some of us have to wait for the DVDs. Sucks to find out this way.
I miss her old nose.
She is so whiny in every role she plays! Housewives of anything hardly needs more of that!
Wow….just wow EW. Nice spoiling the death of a major character on Dexter…in your friking headline. How stupid are you people over there.
Yes, how stupid to not mark as a spoiler something that was on TV a month ago. geez
LOVE THIS! I HAVE LOVED HER SINCE ANGEL.
I couldn’t stand the Rita character in Dexter and I salute Benz for doing a good job of making her annoying. I don’t watch DH but I can see her doing a good job there. Good for her!
To everybody bitching about Ausiello “spoiling” Dexter for you…Bruce Willis is actually dead in The Sixth Sense and the woman in The Crying Game is really a man…oh and Rosebud is a sled.
Julie Benz is a beautiful and talented actress. She’s going to be around for a long, long time. I don’t watch Dexter (the thought of having the hero be a serial killer sickens me. What’s next, Chester: the story of a child molester? He’s the hero because he only molests BAD kids) and I don’t watch Desperate Housewives but I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunities for me to see her in the future. And there’s always Angel reruns.
there are no bad children..just bad parents. until they become teenagers, of course. then they’re all evil.
Really? Whining about spoilers for an episode that aired a month ago. Don’t complain if you don’t subscribe to Showtime. That’s your own decision. The internet is fair game.
Oh and love Julie! Since Buffy and Angel and Dexter. I hope she gets on a great Showtime or HBO show though.
