Actress Julie Benz is returning to Dexter to reprise her role as Rita, who was killed by the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) last season.
EW's Michael Ausiello reports exclusively that Benz will be back in the fall, most likely in a dream sequence to Dexter (Michael C. Hall), who is tormented by her death.
Showrunner/executive producer Chip Johannessen told Ausiello that she will not be a ghostly figure like Dexter's dad (James Remar).
Ausiello writes: "A Showtime rep would only add that the presence of Rita will “help Dexter deal with his newfound feelings of loss and grief — emotions he has never really felt before.”
My theory is she will come to Dexter in his daydreams or real dreams for season five.
What say you all?
