Dexter’s Lauren Velez reveals details about Season 3

Now that we’re only about five weeks away from the premiere of Dexter Season 3, the stars are out promoting the show. The lovely Lauren Velez, who plays Lt. Maria Laguerta, stopped by the studio at TV Guide’s Hollywood 411 to spill some of the deets. She stayed fairly general, so no big spoilers in the video below, but we learn a few interesting tidbits:

1) Laguerta and Jimmy Smits’ character, an asst. district attorney, hooked up back in the day when she was in the police academy and he was in law school. It didn’t work out because she was uber career focused, but there’s some serious sexual tension now.

2) Dexter will do two things this season that will … (cue ominous music) … Change. His. Life. Forever.

Take a look for yourselves, kiddos. Season 3 drops Sept. 28.
