TV Guide Magazine: In Season 7's finale, Deb killed LaGuerta to keep the world from knowing how twisted the Morgan family is. Where do we pick up?
Hall: Things are strange. Deb left the police department, and she's not in a good place. Dexter feels a sense of responsibility for what happened and wants to make things right, but they're not exactly connecting.
TV Guide Magazine: Hannah escaped from custody. Will she and Dex hook up again?
Hall: I won't give it away, but Hannah has a significant role this season. She's dangerous and, admittedly, very attractive to Dexter.
TV Guide Magazine: Charlotte Rampling plays a neuropsychiatrist who specializes in serial killers. How much does she mess with Dexter's head?
Hall: In a big way. She has unique insights about who Dexter is. She's spent her life studying him, and those insights might just point us to the end.
TV Guide Magazine: Speaking of which, are you planning to take any souvenirs from the set?
Hall: I don't need more knives. I'm sure [I'll want] something. A severed arm? Probably not. We'll see.
