As much as I love  a solid TV news exclusive like this one from EW, I still enjoy the on-set Tweets from Jennifer Carpenter (Dexter's sister, 'Deb') the most (@J2theCarpenter). Have a look at  some of the shots she's posted (as well as a fan shot). I'd bet my eldest son, that Carpenter's onscreen character, Debra Morgan, is going to find herself driving into a pond and looking a bit worse for wear (see photo) afterwards. No context yet other than Carpenter referring to the scene as happening in episode 4, which I guess actually is some context. Check back for more spoilery Tweets from Carpenter and other Dexter updates, as we get closer to the June 30 2013 premiere date of Dexter on Showtime!

Yvonne Strahovski is officially returning to Dexter for the show’s eighth season.

Yvonne Strahovski returning to 'Dexter' --EW EXCLUSIVE

The actress is set to reprise her role in a multi-episode arc this summer as Hannah McKay, the gorgeous killer florist. Last season, Hannah became Dexter’s twisted love interest and a major thorn in his side. When we last saw her in the seventh season finale, Hannah had escaped from prison, and Dex was seemingly lucky to get away from her. “We both knew it would come to this, one of us dead or behind bars,” Dexter said. With Hannah returning, we suspect this time one of them (or both?) won’t escape so easily.

Update! Battlestar Star's NEW Gigs - @trutriciahelfer and @MichaelTrucco In Killer Women (PHOTO) #BSG

@trutriciahelfer and @MichaelTrucco in Killer Women March 11 2013 (PHOTO)

On the set of Killer Women - Michael Trucco and Tricia Helfer are a brother and sister where her character, 'Molly' is a Texas Ranger (CR: Tricia Helfer/Twitter/ABC)

Michael Trucco & Tricia Helfer in 'Killer Women' pilot day 1, Texas

I think this is inspired casting! After all they were siblings (of a nature) once before. More importantly, Trucco & Helfer are biker buddies/friends offscreen; they have a connection that other actors wouldn't have. And lets face it: They are both gorgeous. I wish they'd let them smile more on BSG. Hopefully they will more in their new show!/end fangirling

 (Update 3.11.13)

Before she jetted to a month-long acting gig in Texas for the pilot for Killer Women, Tricia Helfer went over her script while catching some California sunshine.

In case you missed it:

Exclusive: Battlestar's Michael Trucco Reunites With Tricia Helfer on ABC's Killer Women Pilot

I hope this is a good show as I like Trucco and Helfer (obviously). Not aware of the rest of the cast. Hope it is good and gets a decent run.

 

ABC’s Killer Women will host a killer Battlestar Galactica reunion, now that Michael Trucco has boarded the Tricia Helfer-fronted drama pilot.

Based on the Argentine series Mujeres Asesinas, the project follows Molly Parker, the only woman among the notoriously male Texas Rangers. Described as a ballsy, beautiful badass, Molly knows how to get to the truth and isn’t afraid to ruffle a few feathers to do so.

Trucco will play Molly’s older brother, Billy, who is married to her BFF Nessa (played by Marta Milans). The actor’s recent TV credits include arcs on Revenge, How I Met Your Mother and Castle, and a co-starring role on USA Network’s Fairly Legal. Also new to the Killer Women ensemble, which also previously cast Mark Blucas (Necessary Roughness), is Alex Fernandez (Commander in Chief), playing Molly’s coworker Luis.

Finally, this week saw Jamie Bamber join Twitter:

Dexter Season 8 - First Behind The Scenes (PHOTO) "Deb" Tweets @SHO_Dexter #dexter

Jennifer Carpenter's Twitter is an excellent Dexter News Source!

 

Deb's (Jennifer Carpenter) new ride on Dexter season 8 (June 2013)

 

I realized just prior to the beginning of Dexter season 7 that the actor that plays Dexter's sister Deb, Jennifer Carpenter (Twitter name: @J2thecarpenter), is an excellent source of behind-the-scenes information about Showtime's Dexter, which as you probably know is returning this JUNE(!)

 

Dexter season 8 first read through Tweet

Unlike some celebrities that Tweet photos of their latest meal (or bowel movement), Carpenter Tweets really interesting stuff without giving away anything that would imperil her job. When she's not filming Dexter, she sends out some very funny stuff as well, often with attached photos. So let's look at some of the latest Tweets from 'Deb' to learn what's up with "Dexter" which returned to filming what is probably it's final season on February 11, 2013.

 

'Are you shitfuckingkidding me?' - JC

 

 Yes, offscreen Carpenter talks much like her onscreen character (in her Tweets, at least).

 

Nick Gomez signs on for Dexter season 8 in a recurrring role

Finally, as SpoilerTV reported, Nick Gomez (@Nicksgomez) has signed on as a recurring player in Dexter season 8.

 

SHAMELESS Returns January 13 on Showtime - Enjoy These Sneak Peeks! @SHO_Shameless @SHO_Kareem

Win this Shameless Season 3 Poster Art! (Details forthcoming!)

OFFICIAL KEY ART SHAMELESS SEASON 3 - I'LL BE GIVING AWAY COPIES! Check back for the deets--and for full coverage on Shameless!

'Season three takes Shameless to a whole new level!'  -- Shanola Hampton, Veronica on Shameless returning with all-new episode starting January 13 at 9 p.m. e/p.

Not only do Jimmy (nee Steve, played by Justin Chatwin) and Fiona (Emmy Rossum) take their relationship to the next level (Jimmy has moved in with the Gallaghers!) but Ian (Cameron Monaghan) tries to deduce if Mickey's (Noel Fisher) feelings for him are genuine, Jody (Zach McGowan, now a featured player) attempts to love all of Sheila's (Joan Cusack) quirks (and kinks!) and Lip (Jeremy Allen White), the smartest Gallagher, continues to put his enormous talents to lucrative and mostly unlawful use.

As for Veronica (Shanola Hampton) and Kevin (Steve Howey), the randy couple jumps back on the makin' babies wagon in which Hampton says her quest to become a mother leads to a storyline that has never seen on television before(!?)

Emmy Rossum (Cr: Showtime)

The gorgeous Emmy Rossum (Fiona Gallagher) has this to say in a recent tweet:

'GAME OF THRONES' Season 2 Finale TWITTER-isms - TYRION'S Best Quips (VIDEO) #gameofthrones #tweets

 

Peter Dinklage as 'Tyrion Lannister' in Game of Thrones - episode 2.11 "Blackwater"

"I'm entrely sure you're entirely sure what I'm suggesting." - Tyrion to Varys about 'boys.'

 

'Game Of Thrones': Tyrion's Best Quotes in Season 2 (VIDEO):

Tyrion Lannister (Emmy-winning PETER DINKLAGE) is easily one of the most beloved characters on HBO's "GAME OF THRONES." Not only does he have a cunning mind, but he's the only person who knows how to keep Cersei in her place.

The Best of Tyrion Lannister - Game of Thrones, Season 1 (VIDEO):

Until season 3:

What unifies and defines GAME OF THRONES and it's universe are themes about power and its uses and personal loyalty vs. obligations to the larger community. Within most episodes we travel to the far-flung reaches of Westeros and beyond with the truly exceptional thing being that AGoT's producers, directors, cast and crew have been able to expertly weave together numerous disparate ideas, making them their very own.

There are dozens of variations on George R.R. Martin's continual themes, but there isn't a repetitive quality to the stories, as what different people will do with their free will, how they'll think and plot and fight and (f*ck) their way out of situations -- those things are as exasperating, surprising, heartwarming, horrifying--as infinitely variable, as human nature itself.
