Julie Benz (Dexter, Hawaii Five-0) joins us to talk about everything from issues with panic attacks and infertility to being surprisingly killed off of her dream role on the hit show Dexter after 4 years. Julie was absolutely amazing this week and opened up about how previous experiences with being left in the shadows and dealing with rejection fueled her fire to continue pursuing a successful career in acting. We also talk about what it’s like dating as we get older, Julie’s former life as a groomed child ice skater, and realizing that our work and roles don’t define who we are as people.

She was so good for the show, she brought light to balance the darkness. She was amazing.

Julie should take pleasure in knowing that her final scene in Season 4 was the cherry on top of the masterpiece of the greatest Dexter season. Literally one of the best seasons of television ever.

[@axelode45]

I think season 1, 2 (if you ignore lila sometimes), 4 and 5 (meh villains) are about equal in terms of over all quality. The story writing in season 1 is perfect and unpredictable and season 2 and 5 have some really intriguing supporting characters (doakes and lumen), but season 4 probably has the strongest villain acting-wise and is the most psychologically thrilling/upsetting of all the seasons.

Yeah it was great storytelling. Also it just really shows that Dexter's lifestyle is incredibly dangerous and it was inevitable that there would eventually be more casualties in the mix.

[@kdizzle901]

It was the best story arc and the writers for season 5 had huge shoes to fill and that’s why season 5 gets so much hate but I think season 5 was the epilogue for dexter and the aftermath of Trinity……..dexter should have ended at season 5 or they should have scrapped the ideas for season 6 and make the season 7 story arc where in the first episode she finds out he’s a serial killer by finding the blood slides……..and the series finale should have been when leaguers is murdered and then he dex and deb cover it up and then go into work like it’s a normal day

[@christophergargaro959]

Agreed - when you think about how S4 ran, Rita’s death was necessary. Really sucked to lose her character but man was that a shocking and incredible ending.

[@kennymarket2428]

After that the show kind of started sucking. The moment needed to happen but it was a moment that was supposed to ruin dexter and be the end of him. It happened way too soon. All it did was kill the show. She grounded Dexter and she was a great story point.

Yeah thats the part that sucked most, she dying without finding out about Dexter. Trinity most likely told her but still, they could've made it like.....she found out then whatever her reaction, she went home n got killed. becuz her personality, she could've never accepted Dexter as a serial killer, so if she finding out, u know shes gonna die. That would've been better but to kill her n never knew who he is just feels incomplete something its missing. Especially the ending. They should've let everyone know

[@lionelmessisburner7393]

genuinely she was kind of distractingly beautiful, but she was an amazing actor and added so much to the show.

[@ramonecricket5183]

It's easy to say 'They shouldn't have killed off Rita!' if she was your favourite character or if you think the show became shit after season 4, but there's no question that the decision to kill off such an important character, and in that way (bathtub, killed by Trinity) was creatively genius, and it really put the finishing touches on what was arguably the best season of the show. For the first time, Dexter actually lost. Yes, he killed Trinity, but he still lost.

[@pumarox95]

Yes,I agree.It really sucks that she was killed off but it did have a powerful impact.It obviously added a lot for Dexter's character development.But I kind of wished she at least reappeared every now and then as a ghost for Harrison or to reassure Dexter.Seeing this interview made me realize that it would have been hard for her to return to the sets.

[@yesseniaayala2664]

After they killed her off, they got rid of her kids too. It was so sad because I got use to seeing the kids too, and knowing they lost both parents is heartbreaking. Rita’s brought light into Dexter darkness, and he wasn’t the same after she was killed off. I cried for her character. Not just that, but she didn’t deserve to die,

*Rita’s death made the season so much better, and helped set the scene for S5.* I knew it would happen. At first I thought Dexter would save Rita and in doing so reveal himself as a killer by killing trinity while saving her and then she would keep his secret. I had bad feelings but as soon as I heard Trinity say “it’s already over” I knew 100% he had gotten her.

[@maximusaurelius9906]

So sorry to hear how broken up she was over her character being killed off and losing a job she loved. It must be all the more difficult knowing that the show wasn't ending, just your time on it. While I haven't seen everything she's ever been in, her role as Rita on Dexter is perhaps my favorite of all her characters and her best work. More so than Darla on Buffy and Angel, better than her work on Desperate Housewives, No Ordinary Family, Defiance and Rambo. I know she was in Jawbreaker as well, but it's been a while since I've seen that. I bet she has some other good performances I've never seen or may have forgotten.

[@cheri7054]

[@maximusaurelius9906]

@@cheri7054 If they insisted on killing her off I would have turned her into Dexter's conscience. Similar to the role that James Remar aka Harry Morgan played as Dexter's father. Like a little angel on his should. Rita and Harry Morgan could even have been competing view points struggling to guide Dexter down the right path. Rita's angel would be more kind, loving and forgiving, whereas Harry's character would continue to play the same role giving Dexter the advice he needs to hide his true nature and cover his tracks. I think Debra Morgan will take on a similar role in the new season of Dexter.

I like her performance in Angel as Darla. They gave her a good part, and she pulled it off phenomenally in my opinion. It's amazing she was only in Buffy for like the first 7 episodes and not even in all of those, but still ends up being one of the most significant characters in the whole story of both shows. Angel is my fav show, even over Dexter, but i would consider the acting as "serviceable" not exactly the best, but Julie as Darla is an exception there, I always believed her acting like it was a real person, and her character was twisted and had one of the darkest story lines of the show, which is more impressive how she nailed it. Big fan of her, and both shows.

[@junie1017]

I didnt realize how much they foreshadowed it, when Dexter totalled his car Rita was upset about the "hours" he was working and said "she didn't sign up to be a widow." Also I think they killed her off to show that Dexter can't have it all, he chose his life as a killer over his life with Rita.

[@Paglavc1]

The fact that we all adored her is the best reason to say why they killed her off. Dexter is a monster, and his actions end up getting people destroyed. He was the one who wanted to get to know Trinity and with that caused him to retaliate. Rita is a collateral damage for his actions, just like his father was, just like Debra was, just like Doakes was, just like La Guerta was... The reason we feel so bad is because Rita was our surrogate, though which we could love Dexter, and because Dexter knew it was all his fault. He finally got a glimmer of light that might change him, when it all comes crashing down.

One of the few shows where you felt each important death was actually for the storyline and not just because there were behind the scenes issues with the actors, or they were just trying to revive the show. They were extremely purposeful, and so I never had an issue accepting them. As sad as I was to see important characters go, because the show and writing was so good, I was even MORE excited to see what came next. For me, that completely overshadowed the loss.

[@Gigibaby88]

I would actually be very interested in their reasons for doing so because I personally thought it was a terrible decision & one of the reasons why the quality of the show started going downhill after S4. Also I couldn't stand ANY of his other love interests, they all just felt wrong to me. RiP Rita 😢

I never saw Dexter when it first aired, just binge watched the whole series over a very few days.

She was probably one of the best actors by far.
