Having just re-watched Seasons 1-4 (waiting for season 5 coming out next month!), I have to say that I think Jennifer Carpenter is one of the best actresses on television today. She has moments of sheer genius as Deb, and I don't say that lightly. Plus the character is soooooooooo endearing - love her!
People keep saying it's weird that her and Michael C. Hall are married. This just shows what great actors these two are. You don't feel it at all in the show...
But really though, it's not weird. What would be weird, is if these two were brother and sister in real life and playing a convincing couple on screen.
I think Jennifer is very beautiful. Maybe not in a conventional way (to society's "standard"), but I believe she has a more unique look, not common but still beautiful. Also, I think she is a fantastic actress - she and Michael. Especially when she crying and hysterical lol. Love Dexter!!!

The only thing Jennifer Carpenter has going for her is her looks. She talks in circles, her acting is horrific, her voice annoys the FUCK out of me, and she is undeserving of someone as intelligent as Michael C Hall.
Sure, she might not be a good actress, but what do you know about wether she deserves Michael C. Hall or not? And by saying: "she is undeserving of someone as intelligent as Michael C Hall." you sound like you've met them...Have you? MCH is a great actor, but is he intelligent just because of that?
How do you know if they deserve eachother or not?
Next time, leave out their private lives - we know nothing of that.
Yeah, though it was a bit weird at the beginning to watch that....I love that they are such great actors that you really forgot that they are married, not siblings...
Dex does help her out when she's feeling less confidant, but the show makes it clear that Harry spent more time witih Dexter, so that's not really her fault. At the same time Deb holds him accountable when he's fucking up, snaps him back into reality in a sense when he's lost in his own head. She's passionate, loyal, and honest... and the shit.
Deb's character is the shit! Everyone says she leaned on Dexter too much to help her out but it was because of her they had the big breaks in the ice truck killer case and the skinner case. She shoots her mouth off and is a little neurotic but that just makes her character and the show more interesting. I think the stuff she says is hilarious!
Jennifers character is in my opinion one of the most important characters in the show, because she is one of the few that clearly expresses the consequences of dexters actions and other peoples actions related to Dexters behaviour. Like dexters behaviour in which he never talks about his feelings, Debra is there expressing her feelings and opinions about it. Also, whith Brians (Rudy) relation with Dexter, Debra gets in between. She is like a symbol dexters actions and what consequenses it has.
that was probably part of the show's plans. if they were both straight arrows, perhaps it would be more predictable. even though i am not terribly fond of debra's character, shes still a pretty good actress.
i agree....her character is soooo annoying. shes is very needy, insecure, loud, and quite unsure of herself in spite of her intelligence. i will say though this interview put her in a different light.
Her character really contrasts nicely with Dexter in that while all his actions are entirely controlled and planned she is much more sporadic and goes entirely on impulse. I think her character can be hilarious and is one of my favorite members of the cast. Carpenter is an amazing actress too.
I also dislike her character! She's not a smart woman, she relies on Dexter to tell her information to make her look good, at least in the first season and in the second season she goes off with some old guy and gets super clingy. She's just waaay over the top!!! Her character to me was right off the bat unlikeable. I wanted her to die so badly at the end of season 1. Debra and Doakes are my least favorite characters. Michael C Hall is by FAR the greatest actor on this show,jen is one lucky gal!
i like keith carradine, the guy that played agent lundy. hes hot for an older guy lol. she's smart...but so unsure of herself it does look like dexter makes her look good. she depends on him to much. i agree with that.
yes, im aware they are half brothers. i loved david in kung fu: the legend continues...and keith was excellent in his role as lundy. and youre right, even if you dont like the character, the person playing him or her is very good in the role
She only really seemed to rely on Dexter's help in season 1. And if you recall Dexter actually steered her in the wrong direction several times in order to save his own ass.
I like her, she swears, she is volatile and nervous. Good character. Her one downside is she's pretty much a slut.
I wouldn't call her a slut at all! We see her with like one maybe 2 guys in season 1 and then 2 guys again in season 2 then only 1 man in season 3. 5 guys total, wooooah daddy! I bet Angel goes through that many hookers in a week! lol
If you don't consider that slutty, 5 guys in a few months time, then I'd like to know what you consider slutty lol.
She's a slut. It's okay that she's a slut, but she is one. She slept with that one guy the same night she met him, no date no talk. To me that's slutty, I wouldn't want a chick that jumped in the sack that easy. Disgusting.
I agree i hate her character. Changing all of who she is to get with that old guy wtf? Putting a gun to a kid in a pms rage wtf? Her cursing is out of place, awkward and she seems to just feed off of others ideas.

Wow, she looks so much better here than on the show. I hate her character, though - motherfucker this, fuckin' cocksucker that; every third word is fuck. I hope Dex loses his cool and whacks her.
How can I fall in love with someone on fucking TVVVVV????
I mean, 26 years old dude with a gorgeous girlfriend and still, I would drop EVERYTHING for this woman that doesn't even exist the way she was presented to me.
