Isn't Debra Morgan still dead? Yeah, she was on Dexter New Blood,
talking to a schizophrenic Dexter.

Quick answer: Production costs. I think "9-1-1: Texas" (or whatever the
Hell it was called!) had finished season #5 - shows that get to five
seasons and beyond get more and more expensive as they go. (This is what eventually got "Blue Bloods".) It's literally cheaper for the network to
start over with a new show.

That would seem likely to be caused by who is getting paid. Cancel the
one show and move that money into the creator of the second show.

To me it seemed easy enough. If you've got something dangling between
your legs then you are still a male, regardless of what you intend for

I wouldn't say she disappeared. Just had some poor luck with her
choices. I enjoyed her performances in THE ENEMY WITHIN but that only
lasted a season. It seems the norm in that I may enjoy the performance
of many an actor in one series and then they disappear from my view
even though they keep having an active acting life. They just end up
in shows/movies that I have no interest in.

A lot of them are wising up and don't intend to do anything 'down there' in
the future. Blaire White has been quite open with the fact that she's still 'intact' and has no intention of going through the horror show of those surgeries, where they amputate the penis <shudder> and create some kind of half-assed faux vagina in the pelvic cavity, which the body will treat as an open wound for the rest of their life and keep trying to heal it. So they have to constantly walk around with something stuffed into the cavity so it won't start to close up and since it's not a natural body cavity, it's constantly vulnerable to opportunistic infections as well, so they also have a lifetime regimen of drugs they have to take address those illnesses.

People who get these surgeries are essentially volunteering to be a chronic medical patient for the rest of their lives, which is something the brochure doesn't highlight, especially if you're a kid whose parent is directing your 'transition process' for virtue credit on Facebook.
