Series continuation

Character significance
Remar's character Harry Morgan has a significant role
In the original Dexter series, Remar's character Harry Morgan was an integral part of the show as a guiding figure for Dexter, frequently appearing in flashbacks and as a ghost.
However, his absence was felt in the recent series Dexter: New Blood where he was replaced by Deb, Dexter's deceased sister played by Jennifer Carpenter.
Harry's return in Dexter: Resurrection hints that Dexter may turn to his father for guidance once again.
