No God No please. I know she is looking after sweet Harrison but I hated her so much! I can’t even explain how much I hated her! So no

NO PLEASE! It was the start of the downfall. Nothing against the actor.

Some fans did not want to see Hannah return, not for any narrative reason but simply because they did not care for the character themselves. Some even called this the beginning of "the downfall" of the show.

Ah...
Yes please. Y. Strahovsky was amazing on the last 2 season's. https://t.co/CZHkwQCCNd

On the other hand, some said that it was worth having Hannah back just to watch Strahovski work. The actress has only become more popular since her time on Dexter.

Not sure. I wouldn't mind seeing a female antagonist though; this time, someone to match Dexter's skill and cunning. Previous victims, e.g. Cindy Landon, Zoey Kruger were careless & assumed they could appeal to his sexual urges.

Some thought that Hannah was good candidate to ensure some strong female characters in the Dexter revival. They hoped that the antagonist of the new season could be a woman to match Dexter's skill, and also his moral ambiguity.

No. I liked her but that story is over. I hope there are no love interests.

Many fans said that romantic storylines simply did not work them in Dexter, and should not be attempted again. Sadly, this would be inevitable if Hannah was brought back.

Some fans had a simple answer — yes. Fans of Hannah were not overwhelming in the conversation, but they were definitely vocal.

No but she's essential for the plot to continue 🥴

Yes for the story to keep going since she’s raising Harrison

Whether they wanted her to return or not, some fans expected Hannah to return based on their predictions about the story line. Their best guess about where the revival would go told them that one way or another, Hannah would be involved.

No and hell no.

Finally, there were plenty clear and simply no's to balance out the conversation, with no context needed. For some fans, Hannah is simply not what makes the show great. The Dexter revival is in the works now and is expected to premiere in late 2021 on Showtime.
