I found another interesting article on IGN about the PaleyFest panel, regarding the fifth season of Dexter. As usual – it’s heavy on spoilers for the most recent season, as well as for what is to come. But it’s a really good read for those of you looking to peek ahead if you can’t wait!

A lot of us are wondering what Dexter’s mindset will be at the beginning of Season 5. Will he be extra cautious or extra reckless? Hall joked around by saying “I was talking this morning to Sara (Colleton) and said ‘I don’t know, maybe Dexter should be in an insane asylum.’ But then I thought ‘No, Deb should be in the insane asylum.’ From all the trauma.”

Read the entire article here with lots of great insight into the next season and some quotes from Michael about his co-star John Lithgow.

Last night in Beverly Hills, Michael C. Hall made an appearance at the 27th Annual PaleyFest, this year honoring Dexter. Desmond Harrington, Jennifer Carpenter, Julie Benz, Lauren Velez, David Zayas, C.S. Lee and Brando Eston also were in attendance. As you’ll see in the photos, Michael is really looking fantastic, which is great to see!

At the event, Entertainment Weekly got the exclusive dish on season five of the series. Now some pretty heavy season 4 & 5 spoilers are discussed, but I decided to go ahead and read it myself as I would like to know the direction the show might take after the big big from the last episode of season 4. It answered my questions and I can definitely say I’m looking forward to the fifth season more than any of the past years! If you would like to get a peek into whats to come then check out the article here! If you wish to remain spoiler free, then avoid.

They also spoke a bit about Michael’s recovery and said:

“Michael’s in full remission. I just had a three-hour breakfast with him this morning. He’s in great shape and is getting his energy back. We are all very excited to get back to work. The guy is incredibly courageous and worked hard all through last season despite being sick. He’s an amazing human being and actor. It was scary, but the show will go on. We start shooting in late April or May, which is usual. We will not have to stall production.”

Finally, you can view the first photos I’ve found in the gallery. Everyone looks so great! Jennifer looks adorable in the photos too.

I came across this cute video today I hadn’t seen before. It’s a promotional video from FOX Portugal of Michael and Jennifer attempting to speak portuguese to promote the series when it was premiering there. Enjoy!

Things are pretty quiet in Michael C. Hall land these days, and as you might have noticed I am refraining from posting new personal candids these days as I wish to respect Michael. Julie Benz, his Dexter co-star recently revealed that Michael C. Hall is doing well in his fight against cancer. It is great to here such positive news.

Benz, who stars alongside Hall in Dexter, told Radar Online that the actor had initially decided to keep the news private because he didn’t want people to worry about him.

Speaking about Hall and his wife Jennifer Carpenter, she said: “It was caught very early and they didn’t want to make a big deal about it. They didn’t want people to worry about them.

“I think it’s a testament to their love that they lean on each other for support and they don’t need to lean on others.”

Benz added that Hall is improving, explaining: “He is doing fantastic, and I think it goes to show you that if you catch cancer early enough you can kick its ass and that’s exactly what he did.

“I do believe that with great healthcare and early detection that we can put an end to cancer. I think that’s why he came out and wanted to talk about it, because it really is about detecting it early.”
