Vanessa Marano on "Dexter"

Last month, Arieanna told you that Vanessa Marano, who played April Nardini on Gilmore Girls, would be in several episodes of the current season of Showtime’s Dexter. Many attempts to find Vanessa on the show later, we’ve finally tracked down her character’s role in the series.

Vanessa is playing Rebecca Simmons, the abused daughter of serial killer Arthur, played by John Lithgow. In the below behind the scenes video, Vanessa can be seen at Thanksgiving dinner with Dexter and Arthur at the head of the table. Have you seen Vanessa’s portrayal on the show?
