by

Key Takeaways

  • Quinn’s return in Dexter: Resurrection could bring a satisfying resolution to his suspicions about Dexter that were never fully explored.
  • Fans are eager for legacy characters like Quinn to return, especially since his absence in New Blood was referenced in the final episode.
  • Quinn’s confrontation with Dexter could make for a thrilling and long-overdue showdown that may not end well for the detective.

As a long-time fan of the gripping series “Dexter”, I can’t help but feel a thrill of anticipation at the prospect of Joey Quinn making a comeback in the upcoming installment, “Dexter: Resurrection”. With his sharp intuition and unwavering suspicion of Dexter’s dark secrets, Quinn was always a character that kept us on the edge of our seats.

The production for “Dexter: Resurrection” is set to start next month, picking up from the eagerly awaited prequel/sequel series, “Original Sin“, which is scheduled to premiere on December 13, 2024. Michael C. Hall will once again take on the iconic character of Dexter Morgan in both shows, and it’s expected that more original characters may appear in “Resurrection”. The final episode of “New Blood” saw Dexter’s dark side exposed to the world, and it seems likely that the sequel series will delve deeper into this revelation. Detective Joey Quinn has always had his suspicions about Dexter, coming close to unraveling the threads that would have led to his arrest, so his potential return could add an intriguing twist.

In the finale of the fourth season of Dexter, when the Trinity Killer killed Rita, Dexter’s wife, Joey Quinn started wondering about Dexter’s true identity and secrets. As his bond with Debra, Dexter’s sister, deepened, he hesitated to delve into this specific investigation. If Quinn reappears in Resurrection, it seems likely that he would connect the dots and team up with Angel Batista to track down their former partner.

Quinn Always Suspected Dexter Was Hiding Something And It Would Be A Good Pay Off If He Returned In Resurrection

Joey Quinn was a competent detective in the TV show “Dexter,” but he didn’t always give his best, leading to slow advancements in Miami Metro Homicide. However, when it came to Dexter’s hidden truth, Quinn seemed to be the one who got closest to uncovering it. It’s even possible that he had a good idea of Dexter’s true identity, but for various reasons, he didn’t delve deeper into his suspicions. His love for Debra, Dexter’s sister, was the primary factor that made him suppress his detective instincts. Viewers have often pondered over whether Quinn could realistically not have guessed that Dexter was a killer, particularly after the enigmatic death of Stan Liddy, the private investigator he employed to scrutinize the forensic expert.

I’m glad he’s dead. Wish I could’ve done it myself.

It’s possible that Quinn’s continued presence in the fifth season could have left some plot inconsistencies, but given his popularity as a character, it wouldn’t be unexpected. By the time this happened, there were still three more seasons of Dexter to go. If Quinn had discovered Dexter’s secret activities, he likely would have been written off in a manner similar to Doakes in the second season. Looking back, keeping Quinn alive for longer was a smart move, as it lays the groundwork for a potential confrontation between Dexter and Quinn in Dexter: Resurrection.

Quinn Didn’t Appear In New Blood But His Character Was Mentioned And His Return Shouldn’t Be Ruled Out

As a devoted viewer, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of dismay when New Blood seemed light on familiar faces from the Dexter universe. Yet, given Dexter’s self-imposed isolation following his death hoax, it was only reasonable. Fast forward to the series finale, and Angel Batista was en route from the legendary Miami scene to confront Dexter in Iron Lake. For those with a keen eye, there was a subtle wink to Joey Quinn through an email interaction between him and Batista in the last episode. The intriguing twist was that Quinn was still a detective in Miami Metro Homicide, having emailed Batista to inquire about Masuka’s bachelor party. It appears that Quinn continues to resonate with the creative minds behind the scenes, making it quite plausible for his return in Resurrection. Perhaps Batista will reach out to his former partner, inviting him to Iron Lake to lock horns with Dexter Morgan. This long-awaited showdown between Quinn and Dexter would undoubtedly be a treat for fans like myself.

It can be just as crucial for Joey Quinn to face off against Dexter since it was Quinn who harbored doubts about him long ago. In the upcoming series, Resurrection, it’s possible that Quinn, if he reappears, might find himself on Dexter’s list of victims, despite not conforming to his earlier code. Over the years, Dexter has demonstrated a readiness to disregard Harry’s code for self-preservation, and may need to do so again given that his secret is now exposed and he could face legal repercussions if he manages to escape after being injured.
