‘Dexter’ Cop Lauren Vélez Heads to ‘Ugly Betty’

Lauren Vélez/DexterAny New York Undercover fans out there? If not, you might have a hard time understanding my longstanding love for Dexter top-cop actress Lauren Vélez, who, according to recent news, is slated to appear on the ABC dramedy Ugly Betty soon in a multi-episode arc. Yes!

Vélez will reportedly portray a nurse named Elena associated with Betty’s family, and the newcomer just might have something to do with a major character dying on the show. I know — the death part truly sucks, but having Vélez around could soften the blow a bit for some fans, provided she’s not the perpetrator!

As for Vélez’s enviable background on television, not only does she costar as Miami Lieutenant Maria Laguerta on Showtime’s killer (pun very much intended) dramedy Dexter, but she also played Dr. Gloria Nathan on HBO’s dark drama Oz and Detective Nina Moreno on the aforementioned Fox crime drama New York Undercover, which was all the rage — at least in my mind — when it started airing in 1995.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing yet more Lauren in 2009, especially in a huge plot twist on another popular, acclaimed TV show.
