Angel Batista (David Zayas) will return inDexter: Resurrection, but the sequel show still needs to get another character from the originalDexterseries on board. Angel Batista is one of the few characters who has appeared ineveryDextershow, and his streak is set to continue.Batista will appear inDexter: Resurrection, and it looks like he’ll finally get to confront Dexter after learning that he was the Bay Harbor Butcher at theend ofDexter: New Blood. With Batista making a return,Dexter: Resurrectionalready looks like it could be a great installment in the franchise.
Even though Batista is coming back, there’s still a big hole in thecast ofDexter: Resurrection. New actors like Peter Dinklage, Neil Patrick Harris, and Uma Thurman are welcome additions, and returning actors like James Remar and Jennifer Carpenter are also great. There’s one key figure from the originalDexter, however, who still deserves a chance to confront Dexter after he faked his death at theend of the originalDexter. That character is Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington), and I truly hopeDexter: Resurrectionbrings him back. Not only does the character deserve a reprisal, but Quinn could add a lot toResurrection.
Dexter: Resurrection Needs To Bring Back Joey Quinn Alongside Batista
Quinn Deserves Some Closure About Deb’s Death & Vindication For Being Suspicious Of Dexter
Since Batista is coming back forDexter: Resurrection, Joey Quinn would be a perfect compliment to his return. Batista will likely get a chance to confront Dexter with some of the sins and mistakes of his past, namely his role in Maria LaGuerta’s (Luna Lauren Velez) death.While Batista would be able to hold Dexter to account for things like LaGuerta’s death, Quinn would be much better suited to making Dexter revisit Deb’s death. Quinn and Deb did date, after all, and he arguably took her death as poorly as Dexter did. What better way to reckon with the past than through the character who misses Deb the most?
Aside from making Dexter reconsider Deb’s death, Quinn also deserves to be part ofDexter: Resurrectionfor his own reasons.Nobody knew for sure that Dexter pulled Deb’s life support at the end ofDexter, so Quinn could finally get some closure about her death inResurrection. Quinn will finally be able to get the truth about Deb’s death, finally vindicate his suspicions about Dexter being a killer, and help force Dexter to confront the consequences of his actions, but only if he appears inDexter: Resurrection. Luckily,Dexter: New Bloodhas already laid the groundwork for that to happen.
Dexter: New Blood Revealed Quinn Still Works At Miami Metro
Some Of Batista’s Emails Revealed Quinn Was Working At Miami Metro & Still Friends With Masuka
Joey Quinn is already in the perfect position to make an appearance inDexter: Resurrectionbecause he almost appeared inNew Blood.In the finale ofDexter: New Blood, while Batista was checking his email, two messages from Joey Quinn could briefly be seen. One was titled “Jane Doe,” confirming that Quinn still works at Miami Metro, while the other was labeled “Masuka’s Bachelor Party,” indicating that Quinn, Batista, and Vince Masuka (C.S. Lee) were all still friends. If Quinn was still working for and friends with Batista inNew Blood, there’s no reason he wouldn’t join him inResurrection.
Thanks to Quinn’s friendship with Dexter and Batista and his past love for Debra, it would be extremely easy to explain that they went to New York to search for Dexter together. Angela Bishop (Julia Jones) even contacted Batista professionally, meaning he could easily justify taking Quinn to New York. Quinn wasn’t working homicide yet, but he was one of the few people who was around during the Bay Harbor Butcher investigation, and he has more than enough personal reasons to look for Dexter. It would be extremely easy to include Joey Quinn inDexter: Resurrection.
