From the get-go – and particularly after Deb found out what Dexter did when no one was paying attention –, there’s always been a chance of her being killed off. Jennifer Carpenter, who plays her, says this is exactly what she hopes will happen on the “Dexter” season 8 finale.

The Summer TV Preview issue of Entertainment Weekly brings several new “Dexter” pics, but also brief interviews with the people working on the popular Showtime series.

Jennifer Carpenter is one of them, and she claims the best closure she could get once the show is over is if Deb were killed, preferably by her half-brother.

“I want the character to die. Every actor has to shed their character, shake the ghost off. For my own well-being, I need this story to have an ending,” the actress reveals.

Of course, whether she will get her wish is uncertain. At this point, “Dexter” can go either way, because producers might as well decide the best end would be to finally hold Dexter accountable for his horrible crimes – and / or have him die a gruesome death.

We’ll see. The final season of “Dexter” premieres on June 30.
