There will also be some meet and greets with other Dexter stars at various times tomorrow so be sure to read the website and set your schedule accordingly.

G4 is following the coverage of Dexter on their website.

Check out this great new interview with Michael from The LA Times. Keep in mind it may have some spoilers if you haven’t seen past seasons and are currently catching up!

When Michael C. Hall took to the stage to accept a Golden Globe in January, it represented his first win after four nominations for his role as a serial killer on Showtime’s Dexter. Just a week earlier, with awards season then in full swing and his Globes appearance at the Beverly Hilton Hotel imminent, Hall was compelled to make a startling announcement: He was undergoing a battle with lymphoma. Though he joked backstage that the hat he wore to conceal the hair loss effects of his treatment gave him “a justifiable excuse for accessorizing,” he has kept his battle quiet. His wife and costar, Jennifer Carpenter, recently announced that the 39-year-old actor has “fully recovered.” In April, as Dexter began shooting its fifth season, which will begin airing in September, Hall shared his thoughts about America’s most lovable sociopath.

Why do you think Dexter as a character has connected with audiences, despite his objectionable actions?

I think audiences relish the opportunity to identify with these central, even glaring, flaws. I think all of us have a shadow that we carry around — whether it’s as formidable as one that inspires you to be a serial killer …. But I think there’s something on a metaphorical level that resonates with people.

As some of you are well aware, Dexter‘s fifth season has been filming! I have decided to refrain from posting on set imagery (at this time anyways) because of their being so many massive spoilers. I’ll atleast wait until the season four DVDs are released (which drops on August 17 by the way). Just to try to give one last go at not spoiling people. However, kindly join some Dexter communites on places such as LiveJournal or Tumblr for on set shots if you want them!

Also, Jonny Lee Miller will join the sho next season for six episodes. Showtime said Miller will plays “a mysterious man who is intricately involved in the storyline with Julia Stiles’ character.” April Lee Hernandez and Maria Doyle have also joined the show for next season.

I’ve been unable to update the site this past week, so here is a quick catch up of Michael news!

Michael and the beautiful wifey Jennifer Carpenter attended the South Pacific premiere at the Ahmanson Theatre a few days back. They really look great and I’m so beyond happy to see Michael out and looking good! Unfortunately I only managed to swipe a two small pictures, but maybe more will surface one day.

Lastly, some news regarding Dexter. It’s now been confirmed that Julia Stiles will join the fifth season. Also joining the new season is Shawn Hatosy who is coming in for a multi-episode arc. Entertainment Weekly adds that he will be playing “a bad guy”.

Entertainment Weekly got more exclusive scoop today that Julia Stiles might be joining the fifth season!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Julia Stiles is in advanced talks to play a major, top-secret role in the show’s upcoming fifth season.

What role, you ask? No idea. But based on what new showrunner Chip Johannessen told me a few weeks back, it’s safe to say Stiles won’t be following in the footsteps of last season’s very scary guest star, John Lithgow.

“We’re not going to have a single Big Bad this season,” revealed Johannessen. “We don’t want to try and top John Lithgow, so we’re going to change up the forces that Dexter’s going to be dealing with.”
