In one particular scene involving Dexter Morgan on a phone call, Michael C. Hall appeared visibly troubled while filming on set.
The sixth week of production for Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 just keeps delivering behind-the-scenes content almost every day, which actually has been great for fans. Not only does it make the wait a little easier, but it also gives us small clues about where the story may be heading and what kind of emotional state the characters are in.
Thankfully, these latest set photos are no exception.
On Thursday, May 21, Michael C. Hall was spotted filming in Chelsea, Manhattan fully in character as Dexter Morgan for Episode 3 of Season 2, which recently began production. The actor was wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt paired with black trousers, a look very similar to the one he was seen wearing over a month ago. But one detail actually stands out, and it is that Dexter looks seriously disturbed.
According to the latest images shared by Bauer-Griffin, Dexter was seen outside a well-known pizza restaurant in broad daylight. The location is J’s Pizza, a classic New York City pizza spot located at 98 7th Avenue between 15th and 16th Street. The storefront features painted signs reading “Pizza by the Slice” and “Daily,” which makes the location recognizable.
Dexter was seen talking on the phone while leaning against the storefront, with one arm resting on a nearby chair. Judging by his facial expressions, this was clearly not a pleasant phone call, which of course makes us wonder who is he talking to.
What actually makes the scene even more interesting is what happens immediately after the call ends. Dex appears visibly frustrated as he puts his phone back into his pocket. In several images, he can be seen closing his eyes in irritation while making the motion, suggesting that the person on the other end of the line brought him nothing but stress and trouble.
Between takes, Hall was also seen interacting with Episode 3 director Erica Dunton and executive producer/writer Scott Reynolds. Reynolds appeared to be showing Hall something on his smartphone, something that made both of them smile.
And this is where the theories begin.
Who could Dexter be talking to in this scene? One of the most obvious possibilities is Miami Metro homicide Lieutenant Quinn. There’s no actual confirmation about that, of course, but many fans out there believe Quinn could follow the same path his late friend Angel Batista did, as soon as he arrives in New York City.
Another possibility is that Dexter is speaking with either Don Framt, the New York Ripper, or even Owen Stark, the Five Borough Killer. Of course, some more... grounded options include his son Harrison, or Charley Brown, Prater’s former right-hand woman.
