Ranking Dexter's Love Interests

Описание: Dexter Has A Type...

Dexter Morgan's love life is weird, complicated, and, to be honest, sometimes pretty cringe. And yet, those of us who've binge-watched every single episode can't deny we're fascinated by his romantic entanglements. Yes, our favorite vigilante serial killer, who hunts down murderers according to Harry's Code, somehow managed to attract a small crowd of admirers, girlfriends, flings, and, in one extremely awkward instance, a sister who thought she might have deeper feelings for him. Like I said: cringe. But also oddly compelling. Brace yourselves, folks, because we're diving into nine love "interests." Let's begin, shall we?

NUMBER 9: DEBRA MORGAN

Yes, it's shocking. We're starting with the adoptive sister as the absolute rock-bottom "love interest." Cue the confused eyebrows, because I'm pretty sure most Dexter fans would agree that this storyline should never have happened. Debra Morgan, played by Jennifer Carpenter, is Dexter's rough-around-the-edges but ultimately badass sister. She's a dedicated police detective with a filthy mouth and an even filthier sense of humor. Over the show's run, we watch Deb devote herself to her family, her job, and especially to Dexter, whom she adores as her big brother. Then Season 6 hits, and the writers pull a twist: Deb starts going to therapy, only to realize she might be in love with Dexter. But they're siblings in every meaningful sense: raised in the same house, share the same father figure, and so on. So, to many viewers, the Debra-loves-Dexter arc felt profoundly uncomfortable. Sorry, Deb, but when it comes to romantic potential with Dexter, you're last on the list.

NUMBER 8: LACI

Now let's talk about someone you might hardly remember: Laci. She appears in the single-episode fiasco known as Season 6, Episode 7-"Nebraska." Dexter goes on a little road trip with the ghost of his dead brother, Brian (I know, it's complicated), and stops by this small gas station store where Laci works. She's totally unassuming, polite, and probably not used to dealing with weirdos out in the middle of nowhere. Along comes Dexter, who is not only on the verge of a mental crisis but also half-entertaining his brother's suggestion that he murder her. Weirdly (or predictably, if you know Dexter), he doesn't kill Laci. Instead, they get intimate in the back room of the store. Then, to top off this brief fling, Dexter essentially robs her of the store's money like some sort of antihero cameo and rolls back out on the open road. The entire situation is so bizarre you barely remember it.

NUMBER 7: TRISHA BILLINGS

Next up is Trisha Billings, who gets the honor of starring in the Season 6 premiere episode, "Those Kinds of Things." She's another super-brief fling, but a tad more memorable than Laci. Why? Because this hookup happens at Dexter's high school reunion. Picture it: the popular former prom queen runs into the awkward weirdo from biology class, Dexter, who is now well-adjusted enough to mingle among the in-crowd. Suddenly, Trisha's flirting with him in front of the trophy case. They sneak off into an empty classroom and do the deed on a teacher's desk. It is a funny moment that really shows how well Dexter has mastered his "normal" mask. Post-romp, both of them basically vanish from each other's worlds. If you were watching closely, you'd see it as an opportunity for the writers to show how Dexter's façade has evolved. But was it a "relationship"? Hardly. It's kind of like a funny little detail, you know? Dexter getting together with a former prom queen just to show he's fitting in perfectly. Next!

NUMBER 6: CASSIE JOLLENSTON
Moving on to Cassie Jollenston, Dexter's amiable neighbor. Cassie shows up in the final season (Season 8) and is introduced through Jamie Batista, who's encouraging Cassie to give Dexter a shot. Cassie's sweet, laid-back, and… normal. Maybe that's why Dexter is so underwhelmed. He's never been big on normal, especially not in the later seasons when the body count is ever on his mind. Cassie tries to forge a connection: she's nice to Dexter, welcomes him into her apartment but he's just not into it. Rather than continuing to date her, Dexter fails to return her calls. Burned and disappointed, Cassie rebounds with the next guy
