After seeing Anne Hathaway on the Lip Sync battle, I have a hard time thinking any Dexter could wait 15 years to consummate their relationship.

Leo Woodall needs to go star in something now where he gets to shoot people or blow things up.

Of course the actress felt like that. Just look at the comments on this thread. 90% are about her looks-people are sadly extremely shallow.

“It took a lot of convincing, well into the shoot, like self convincing that I was right for the part and I deserved to be there and a character like that would fall in love with a character like Emma as played by me.”


This is actually very cool to read.
Because I definitely needed convincing too. He’s such a shallow egotistical pretty boy at the start that I have trouble believing he would have given her a second look. And her character seemed to feel that way too. So it’s interesting to me that the actress did too. AND it was beautiful the way she seemed to grow into her sense of self and eventually feel that she did deserve to be in his life. And even at times pitying him.


I think it's sad that Ambika felt that way. She's very attractive.

The two characters were drawn together because neither one of them had a good sense of themselves. Emma painfully denied herself everything she wanted, at least until the end.

Wait, you didn’t enjoy it but you watched all 14 episodes? Quite the glutton for punishment, aren’t ya?

Most of the casting was excellent. The only controversy seems to be about Ambika Mod. Who would you have cast? You can’t possibly have taken issue with Leo Woodall, right? If he doesn’t win an Emmy for Dex there is no justice in the world.

The actors have good chemistry and I think that’s part of why they were cast together. I watched an interview where Leo Woodall says that he read with a lot of actresses and the casting director thought they lacked chemistry. I thought both did a great job.
