Actors getting married after working on projects together is nothing new. In fact it makes perfect sense; how many relationships do you know that began with two people as co-workers? In Dexter's case, though, it got a little weird. Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter hooked up as a result of starring on Dexter together, and even married for a while. Which was a little creepy since they played siblings on-screen. But it got even worse when they got divorced two years after sealing the knot, and still had to see each other every day whilst shooting the show. Seemingly just to mess with them, the writers then introduced the idea that Dexter and Deb who were actually adoptive siblings, rather than blood related might actually have some romantic tension between them. Carpenter, at least, was prepared for the eventuality, having played Deb with feelings for Dexter ever since the first season.
