Fan-Favorite Dexter Actor Confirms Return for Resurrection

by

In “Dexter: Resurrection“, a cherished character from the initial Miami Metro series reappears. This upcoming summer show, starring Michael C. Hall as the titular serial killer Dexter, continues his captivating story. Following being shot by his son, Dexter awakens from a coma and journeys to New York City with hopes of mending relationships with his child. However, he finds himself tormented by his past when Angel Batista re-enters the scene, questioning Dexter’s involvement in the Bay Harbor Butcher case. Despite the familiar narrative arc, the tension is amplified due to the 20-year history and present circumstances surrounding these characters.

In the premiere of Dexter: Resurrection, a multitude of characters from Dexter’s earlier life made appearances. Not only does his father’s spirit stand by him throughout this season, but he also shares emotional moments with the Trinity Killer, Miguel Prado, and Doakes. Speculation remains about certain key figures from Dexter’s past as to their potential appearance in future episodes.

Previously in 2021, Desmond Harrington, who played Dexter’s colleague Joey Quinn, was questioned about his potential return in “Dexter: Resurrection”. Instead of giving a clear answer, he remained vague, neither confirming nor denying the rumors. This ambiguity led many to speculate that Harrington might indeed reprise his role. However, with the first two episodes already broadcast, and no sign of him yet, there’s uncertainty regarding when or if he will make an appearance in the show.

Dexter: Resurrection Will Bring Back Joey Quinn, Confirms Desmond Harrington

A fresh teaser for the upcoming season has been revealed, and some keen-eyed viewers believe they spotted Quinn in it. In a fleeting moment that might be missed, there’s a shot of a Miami Metro police car, with a detective standing over a corpse in the backdrop. Although the figure is out of focus, his physique and posture seem strikingly similar to Quinn. Desmond Harrington himself verified this on Instagram, sharing the image and expressing his inability to disclose more details. He thanked the creative team for bringing him back, confirming that he will appear in Dexter: Resurrection. The extent of his role is yet to be determined, but fans are certainly thrilled about this development. Quinn was a beloved character from the original series and has a captivating past with Dexter.

Apart from hiring someone to probe into Dexter’s activities, Quinn also had a romantic relationship with Deb. His affection for her persisted until her demise, leading him to overlook Dexter’s obvious acts of murder in pursuit of revenge against Deb’s killer. Over time, some have raised doubts about whether Quinn truly grasps the facts regarding Dexter. Regardless, if Quinn gets involved, it might lead to the revelation that Dexter is still alive, which could stir up tension. If he learns the truth, he may be driven to bring Dexter to justice as a means of avenging Deb. This setup holds great potential for an emotionally charged narrative; we’ll have to keep watching to see how it unfolds.

The upcoming series titled “Dexter: Resurrection” is set to span at least three seasons, implying that Quinn may take on a significant role in future episodes, should he not be a primary figure this season. The show has garnered widespread acclaim among both viewers and critics, boasting impressive ratings and a remarkable 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes within the Dexter franchise. Our review awarded it a 4 out of 5, commending its gripping narrative, seamless integration of old and new elements, and captivating exploration of Dexter Morgan’s character.
