We may still be months away from the Dexter season 7 premiere, but that doesn’t mean we have to wait to find out the answers to questions we’ve been asking since last season’s finale. Providing an in-depth look at the this upcoming season, executive producer Sara Colleton reveals (almost) everything we could want to know about what’s next for everyone’s favorite blood spatter analyst.
Speaking with TV Guide, Colleton reveals what Dexter tells Deb about his “hobbies,” her reactions to everything, how it will impact their relationship, how it will impact her job and much more…
Needless to say: READ ON AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I’m not usually one to cry out about spoilers but do you have to put “Deb’s Reaction” in the title of the article which also shows up in RSS feeds. I haven’t seen last season but i’ll take a wild guess as to what that means…
Anyway, keep up the good work SR (I mean that seriously).
The only reason why you know what the title means is because you know what’s happened. That could literally mean anything. If it were a different season, it could be about Dexter talking to Rita, Deba and Frank Lundy….
Eh, if it were any of those other things your lead would likely not be “Deb’s reaction” because it wouldn’t be a big deal. One can infer that since it’s in the headline it is a big deal and therefore means Deb found out about Dexter. I actually didn’t know what happened until I read your headline, and, I suppose, I still don’t “know” for certain what happened not having seen the last season.
That’s all I’ll say about it. I’m a big fan of the site and know how seriously you usually take your spoilers and only commented (complained?) because I thought you might want to change it before it spoiled it for someone else as well.
It’s a fine line with these things sometimes.
It is, indeed. In any case, it’s certainly no Rosebud.
lets hope this season can get close to the greatness that was season 4 .. i was not a fan of last season at all .. but i am interested to see where things go with the creepy intern computer game guy.
Wow!
I know exact details aren’t given but based off these answers you can map out pretty easily how certain things will happen.
Usually I try to avoid spoilers but Dexter has kind of dropped off IMO so other than reading what will happen at the very end I don’t mind reading anything else.
It was around season 6 that I contacted the writers of Dexter to tell them the truth that Dexetr never had a dark passenger.
Of course gave them the run down full history of Dexter in real life and thus the reason they removed his dark passenger since my memories have risen to the surface to see the light of day as it were.
I’m looking forward to seeing Yvonne Strahovski take on a darker role.
I am surprised to see that people are surprised.While the series has changed a lot of story lines from the book series.Deb finding out has happened in the books.Maybe there will be differences in how she will take it all in.But in the books she is past it.
About the spoiler thing.Dexter lost it’s edge right after the second season.It became less and less thrilling and very predictable.I still enjoyed Dexter as a dark comedy.But it never reached the high tension it did in the first two seasons.In the fifth season there were indications of Deb having difficulties with criminals not getting what they deserve. Which is why she let Lumen and Dexter go after they killed Jordan.Not knowing it was her brother.OK,I admit it is a huge step from the point in letting vigilantes go to one where she accepts her brother is a serial killer.But isn’t the whole show full of that craziness.
Could’t agree more with you !
The first 2 seasons were really great !
And then it started to go slowly downhill.
What really makes Dexter bad is how the writers are Dumbing him down..and how stupid he became from this once trained and careful Killer that he was.
Using his own car when out for a Kill !
Checking with his own ID into a Hotel where he is planning a Kill from…and so own. There are so many Stupid things he does…God…how come nobody catched him by now ?
Dexter was so smart and Professional before !
Just guess writers are lazy and can’t put them selfs into a Psychos mind !
Sad !
“He’s never had to deal with these kinds of emotions — regret, guilt, a sense of having let (someone) down”
Is the person, who said that, even familiar with dexter? brian moser? doakes? lila? miguel? and, most importantly/obviously, letting trinity live long enough to kill rita?
The complete true information about the history of Dexter Morgan.
Truth be told the inception of Dexter Morgan was in name only back in 1997.
Dexter was named after a fanboy of Dexters Laboratory the cartoon show back in 1997. Jeff Lindsay as well as myself and others asked why the fanboy thought he should be named Dexter and he replied that my version of him was weird like that and then 30 minutes later he asked the fanboy for permission to use that name and it stuck.
THE CODE:
While on the forum discussing the history of this serial killer of mine as I was fleshing him out to others they were really stabbing me for more and more information on him and why I kept him for so long without telling anyone about him and calling me selfish for not sharing him with other people. So they and Jeff kept asking why do I think my serial killer is deemed so worthy to have his own TV show.
I told them throught hollywood history that you have had good vs good and bad vs bad and good vs bad and all the inbetween but we never have had a Serial Killer VS Serial Killer tv or movie. Then someone butted in – Only kills other serial killers! Ha!! What is that some kind of code?
It was there the code was born.
So when was Dexter actually created and why?
Contrary to popular held belief that he was created durring a business lecture full of tired people was also spoken about in 1997 but the truth is that I created the serial killer that became known as Dexter was in 1973.
It was a very dramatic event in my life that caused to have PTSD and I do not wish that on any child that young who does not deserve such treatment.
There was a song that helped me/inspire me to create Dexter and it is sung by Clint Holmes – Playground of my mind. That song itself prevented me from committing suicide as it let me explore my own thoughts and ideas that I never knew was possible.
That pretty much sums up Dexter:
I created him to keep myself sane to protect children at any and all costs
Strictly speaking Dexter only felt real emotion when he became a father.And then I am not even sure if it can be called real emotion.But I agree there are many temporary moments where it seemed like he showed a whole range of emotions although in a very restricted manner and ones that never lasted.The actual conscience part is something that is developed in the sixth season and I think they want to elaborate on that. Personally I don’t like this development because that defies the whole essence of Dexter.Especially since in the book Dexter is a character that never had true feelings.He is very good in faking and simulating.
