(S0402) - "You've got a family to support and people to dismember. You're spinning too many plates, Dexter." - Harry Morgan

One of the most interesting reasons to watch shows like Dexter are the ways the characters manage to wiggle their way out of complete destruction after pushing more than their fair share of luck.

But unlike shows like The Shield or The Sopranos where most of the luck pushing is done by the main character, the people behind Dexter like to spread the carelessness around. Just about everyone in this twisted tale has some skeletons in their closets, both figurative and possibly literal.

Lauren Velez, also known as Maria LaGuerta of Showtime's Dexter, has signed on for a guest role on Ugly Betty. No word on when she will be shooting her episodes or what she'll be doing, apart from wearing a nurse's uniform.

In the world of Ugly Betty, though, that could really mean anything, right? According to the article, the super-secrecy surrounding her role has to do with a major plot point regarding one of the main characters. Let's hope Nurse Velez will give this show just enough to save it.
