Click here to take a fun quiz about the original run of Dexter! He makes his debut appearance in Season Three , instantly becoming a major part of the group following the departure of Sergeant James Doakes.
He is later nearly promoted to Sergeant, however, Angel is forced to choose differently. Detective Quinn tends to have an extroverted personality.
Occasionally, when stressed or annoyed, his anger level increases, rendering him sarcastic, foul mouthed, or painfully blunt. If Vince Masuka is the perverted comedian of the series, then Joey Quinn is the wise-cracking, smart-ass of the group who does not shy away from sexual puns.
Quinn also enjoys dancing and partying. In Season Six , he persuades Angel to smoke the joint he found in Angel's car and they get high on the job. Much like Debra Morgan , Quinn has a natural instinct when it comes to solving cases. However, his emotions interfere in his work when he begins to suspect Dexter for being involved in Rita 's murder, while dating Dexter's sister.
Despite their occasional quarrel, Quinn values his friendship with Angel. Quinn was originally a Narcotics cop, like Stan Liddy. During his time in Narcotics, Quinn helped Anton Briggs out of a drug bust in exchange for making him his personal CI. However, unknown to Anton, Quinn never made it official.
