Hated Hannah for Dexter!

Am I the only one who really disliked Hannah for dexter? I think she was a cool character and addition to the season but I much would've preferred dexter to kill her or her to have successfully gone away without returning another season. I feel like they downplayed his whole relationship with Rita by insinuating he fell in love for the first time with her. Then I hated how it seemed like he put her as the most important thing in his life over Harrison. I also have a theory that she would've killed him eventually because she is a sociopath who will not let anyone get in her way in any shape or form. Again yes a good character I just don't think for Dexter. That and the fact that she clearly fit his code and he didn't kill her. In the long run I don't think he'd be able to live with that. It also bothered me that she intentionally tried to kill Debra and it's almost as if Dexter forget about that when she later returns. It just all seemed like the writers were forcing something. What do you guys think??

P.S still team RITA. I think when it came close to genuine love, he had it for Rita. Hannah was a nice and temporary shield I feel especially since she "accepted" (we all know how much he is taken easily with people who accept or see his dark passenger lol) his darkness but I think he would've really just loved her because of that and not because he was truly in love.

Hannah was a complete waste of time in the final 2 seasons and you're definitely not alone in hating her. I felt like her and Dexter were just thrown together because they were both killers and that she "got him" I also agree how they dumbed Dexter down for Hannah by completely glossing over the fact that Hannah tried to kill Deb afterwards and the fact that he left his son with her of all people makes me feel no sympathy for Dexter being all alone in Oregon.

IMO.... Hannah was one of the main reasons the show was ruined...Hated her charecter....
Though Rita was good with Dexter....And she kept the human side in him alive..I found the chemistry between him and lumen way better...I think they could have been a good coupe...Really wish her charecter had been around longer...

Like Dr Vogel, I thought they were a good match. 🐭

I also hated the fact he loved her because she seems like she would be the epitome of what he hated. I think they either should have changed her character a little for example making her like him. She could want to go after bad people like he does after being abused her whole life. Or they could have kept her character the way it was(evil sociopaths with no feelings are interesting but did not want her for Dexter) but had Dexter fall in love with someone else. I hated the fact she murdered some little old lady to inherit the flower business that should have really missed Dexter off to complete killing her. Come on Dexter

Agreed on most counts. I feel like they just didn't know what to do with her. Because if they had a relationship, and THEN he killed her, it would've just felt like a repeat of Lila. And her taking Harrison, still wish that would've worked out differently, Rita would be rolling in her grave.

Yep. Rita would be pisssssed.

"Am I the only one who really disliked Hannah for dexter?"

Not at all. Actually, I think you're in the majority on that. I haven't met a single Dexter fan who's liked Hannah as Dexter's partner. I sure didn't. Their relationship made no sense and was a recipe for disaster.
