Dexter: Resurrection Premiere: Jack Alcott Reacts to the Season's Gruesome First Kill — Watch

The following contains spoilers for the season premiere of Dexter: Resurrection. Dexter Morgan's bound to drop a few bodies in his new series Dexter: Resurrection, but in Friday's premiere, it was another Morgan that drew first blood.

Hall Says Premiere's Surprise Cameos Were the 'Best Way to Start' - Who Came Back? Big Brother 27 Premiere Reveals Identity of That Mysterious 17th Houseguest - But There's a Twist When we pick back up with the Bay Harbor Butcher, he's waking up from a coma after nearly being killed by Harrison at the end of Dexter: New Blood. After a tense reunion with Batista (and some unwelcome visits from a few franchise bad guys), Dexter escapes his hospital bed to head to New York City, where he hopes to make things right with Harrison. His son is working at a swanky hotel that has one particularly shady guest who's overstaying his welcome. When that man drugs and attempts to rape a woman in his room, Harrison interrupts, coming to blows with the predator in the room's bathroom. Harrison ultimately wins the fight by smashing the guy's brains in with a toilet tank lid. And when it comes to cleaning up, let's just say Harrison has learned quite a few things from his time spent with Pops in Iron Lake. 'Harrison is a very impulsive character, and Dexter, ironically, while driven by a really strong impulse, is very disciplined on account of this guy,' Jack Alcott (Harrison) tells TVLine in the video above, while motioning to James Remar (Harry) beside him. 'I think that that is a real gift that Harrison gets from Dexter… Being a really impulsive, reactive person can lead itself to all sorts of nasty situations and it is the discipline and the meticulousness that he received from his father that really gets him out of that situation in the hotel.' And about all that Iron Lake business? Dexter's off the hook. Angela ran out of town, according to new Sheriff Teddy Reed. She apologized for mistakenly arresting Dexter for the murder of Matt Caldwell. The Iron Lake P.D. now thinks it was the guy's father, Kurt, who did the deed. The cops also found a shell in Dexter's jail cell which apparently proves that Logan shot at Dexter first, and that Dexter was only defending himself when he took him down. Sheriff Teddy even asks if Dexter wants to press charges against Angela and the department! He naturally declines. View the video above to hear more from Alcott, Michael C.

Former WWE star Batista eyed for Road House 2 sequel

Image via WWE Former WWE Champion Dave Bautista, popularly known to wrestling fans as Batista, is reportedly being eyed for a role in Road House 2 according to Deadline, the sequel to the 2024 Amazon Prime remake of the classic 1989 film. While talks with Amazon MGM Studios are yet to officially begin, industry insiders suggest the offer is on the table. The sequel will once again star Jake Gyllenhaal as Dalton, a role made iconic in the reboot, which pulled in more than 50 million views in its opening weekends on Prime Video. This time, Road House 2 will be helmed by Guy Ritchie, replacing Doug Liman, with a new script penned by Will Beall of Bad Boys: Ride or Die fame. From the ring to the big screen Bautista, who retired from wrestling in 2019 after his final match against Triple H at WrestleMania 35, has since carved out a space in Hollywood with roles in blockbusters like Guardians of the Galaxy, Dune, and Glass Onion. However, his name being linked to a sequel of an action-heavy reboot has sparked mixed reactions online. Despite the film's popularity, some fans believe it's a step back for the actor, who has publicly expressed interest in taking on more nuanced and dramatic roles. Fans have been quick to voice their opinions following the news. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, 'I thought he wanted real movie roles?' Another added, 'What a downgrade.' Some questioned Bautista's recent body transformation, suggesting it signaled a departure from traditional action roles. On the flip side, others came to his defence. 'If anyone can bring some heat to Road House 2, it's gotta be Bautista,' one supporter commented. Another added, 'Dave Bautista as Dalton? That's a wild swing but I'm here for it.' While his Hollywood career continues to blossom, fans holding out hope for a Batista in-ring comeback may be disappointed. The former World Heavyweight Champion has made it clear that he has no plans to return to wrestling, stating that he wants his 2019 farewell to remain intact. As Road House 2 gears up for production, it remains to be seen whether Bautista will officially sign on. Either way, the buzz proves the former WWE star continues to be a major draw - whether in the squared circle or on the silver screen.

Worcester activist critical of city manager faces one-year city hall ban

A Worcester resident and activist has been banned from using city hall for one year, according to a letter from City Manager Eric D. Batista. On May 27, Batista issued a no-trespassing order to David Webb, a Worcester resident who has been a frequent critic of Batista's administration — accusing the city manager and his staff of not being transparent or truthful to the city's residents. The full letter can be read at the end of this story. In his no-trespassing order, Batista writes that Webb has approached employees both inside city hall itself and non-public workspaces in an 'intrusive and aggressive manner.' Webb says he plans to sue the city for this decision but he intends to comply with the order for now — saying that he will be arrested if he does not. The order reads that Webb engaged in behavior towards City Hall employees that Batista deems inappropriate — such as following them with a camera and phone 'inches away from their faces asking them for comments,' and jumping in front of an employee's vehicle, prohibiting them from moving and exiting the garage while 'shouting at them and recording the employee and their vehicle.' Webb pushed back on Batista's claims, saying that he did not record his camera inches from people's faces and said he did not jump in front of a vehicle. I was walking on the sidewalk and the city solicitor was exiting and I started recording — did not jump,' Webb said. Batista also wrote that over the past 12 months, Webb sent 502 emails to the city solicitor, 478 emails to Batista's chief of staff, 370 emails to the city clerk, 209 emails to the deputy city clerk, 1,071 to the public records access officer and 912 emails to the assistant city solicitor. He said that this 'barrage' of emails has made employees feel uneasy and fearful and has severely hindered them from doing their jobs. 'The direct contact, blind copying, and copying of several employees on most matters has become harassment and is severely hindering the ability of city employees to provide efficient services and perform job duties,' Batista wrote. For one year, Webb is barred from being inside City Hall, its offices and in areas next to the building, such as the garage, porticos, entryways, paths of the front and rear plazas and sidewalks, according to the letter. The letter reads that Webb must also send emails to the department's general email that are intended for inquiries. On numerous occasions, Webb has spoken out against both Batista and the city council, whether it's during the public comment period of a city council meeting or, more recently, at Batista's State of the City address, where he continuously shouted over the city manager until four Worcester police officers instructed him to leave. Webb told MassLive he believes the city manager is not transparent and that he is lying to the people of Worcester. 'The city manager serves to manage our image and cash flow rather than functionality as a municipality, and only having part-time representatives means that it's pretty much exclusively landlords, business owners and lawyers rather than the people this city needs to actually serve,' Webb said. Even though he is banned from City Hall, Webb still plans on being involved in Worcester politics. 'I'm going to make a video each afternoon before the council to help people know what's going on and do a Q&A about Worcester politics with people who want to get involved,' he said. 'Those who can't do, teach.' Full letter is below. If you can't read it, click here.
