Because by all means, as disappointing as it was to hear James Remar’s claim that the majority of the original cast was left by the wayside for Dexter’s new episodes, it still made a certain amount of sense.
So while the creative team could certainly find ways to explain and justify the reappearances of Julia Stiles Lumen, Jennifer Carpenter’s Deb, David Zayas’ Batista and others, it might be a stretch if it happened even once.
If Dexter is living his life in hiding more than 1,200 miles north of Miami, without having alerted any of his family or colleagues about his current whereabouts, then it wouldn’t exactly make perfect sense for every single former co-star to suddenly be in and around that same New York area.
