"I think it's the opportunity that they've created for me in the writing," Thurman tells GamesRadar+ at NYCC, when asked if we get to know Charley a little better in season 2. "In the first season when they cast me… it's because they really do this beautiful screenwriting storytelling construction. It's not like the kind of thing where you be like, 'Oh, we cast that person. Let's change this or that.' Like, so they added a little bit of Charlie's sort of personal story wherever they could, you know. They added a little bit when they cast me. And so I started to sort of feel what wasn't going to be seen in the scenes as they were constructed."

In Dexter: Resurrection season 1, Charley is introduced as the personal bodyguard of Prater, a billionaire obsessed with serial killers and collecting serial killer memorabilia. We know little to nothing about her other than she's fierce, a scene-stealer, and knows her way around a gun.

After Dexter kills Prater at the end of season 1, Charley more or less disappears... but she pops back up just as Dexter has decided to be a (somewhat) present parent and live in New York City full time. What does Charley want? Well, it seems like she wants Dexter.

"Charley is very inscrutable in season 1, and that is definitely part of her character, but you know the character's also kind of gotten cracked open in her own way," Thurman continues. "She's a person who's sort of had her own personal reckoning of a kind, and it comes through.
