{{
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Michael C. Hall previously played a funeral home director on ''[[Six Feet Under]].'' So when Dexter goes to a funeral home in the Season 5 premiere, and the roles are reversed, the show makes the most of it, from a set that looks like the Fisher funeral home to the director offering tissues.
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: Narrowly averted in 2010, when Michael C. Hall recently won a nasty fight with cancer.
* [[Cast Incest]]: Michael C. Hall (Dexter Morgan) and [[Jennifer Carpenter]] (Debra Morgan) were married for a couple of years while playing adopted siblings. (They filed for divorce in December 2010. The divorce was finalized on December 2, 2011.)
* [[Fake American]]: Jonny Lee Miller, who plays Jordan Chase in Season
* [[Fake Nationality]]/Fake Ethnicity:

** Miguel Prado really should consider running for president. He played Matthew Santos in [[The West Wing]].
** Wait a second... Is that [[Six Feet Under|David Fisher]]? [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|And he's dealing with dead people and having conversations with his dead father]]!
** Dexter's dating (and later marries) [[Angel
** Also in Season 1, one of Dexter's targets is Sam Merlotte from [[True Blood]].
** Look, Rita's wife-beating coke-addled ex-husband is [[Supernatural (TV series)|Lucifer!]]. Huh, who knew. He really turned nasty once he left [[Lost|that island.]]

** [[Gossip Girl|Evil Uncle Jack]] is a dirty cop who loves Deb! Well that explains how he can afford the Cadillac...
* [[The Other Darrin]]:
** Cody was played by Daniel Goldman in Season 1, and by Preston Bailey from Season 2 onward.
** Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with Harrison: he was portrayed by Brandon Michael Bass in Season 3 (during an [[Imagine Spot]]), by several uncredited babies in Season 4, by twins Luke and Evan Kruntchev from Seasons 5 to 7, and by Jadon Wells in Season 8.
* [[Stunt Casting]]: From Season 3 onward, moderately big names are brought in to play the major recurring characters for each season.
** Jimmy Smits in Season 3.
** John Lithgow in Season 4.
** Julia Stiles, Johnny Lee Miller and Peter Weller in Season 5.
** Collin Hanks and Edward James Olmos in Season 6.
* [[Trolling Creator]]: The show seems to go out of its way to make things as uncomfortable as possible for Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter by ramping up the levels of [[Cast Incest]] ''after'' their [[Real Life]] divorce. Probably the only case of the creator trolling the cast instead of the audience.
