You don't seem to get my point...I'm not "creating her age", this is all based on stuff that the SERIES already told us. I never said I was in charge of what the characters are aged at, I'd just like confirmation from the series before they decide to retcon everything that happened in Season 1 and 2 flashback wise. You want to argue this, go ahead...nobody has confirmed an exact age for her yet (Early Cuts does not count, too many conflicting dates for characters) but if you honestly want to believe that the kid Debra sitting directly across from Dexter in the flashback where Harry's told some news by Lieutenant (at the time) Matthews is ONLY 2-3 years old, be my guest.

I'm sure they've retconned her age, they've completely disregarded the flashbacks in which she was featured but until we can get some sort of confirmation verbally, visually, etc. about her age (or age range), then it's staying as it is BASED on what was shown in the series. Look...if you can find me evidence that she's been stated to be in her early 30's or an exact age like 31, 32...or maybe in the earlier seasons where she's confirmed to be in her 20's, THEN that's good enough for me. Okay? Yeah, if in any of the earlier seasons she's referenced as being in her late 20's then that's proof enough. Otherwise, we're going based on the flashbacks until the show confirms that they've retconned the whole flashback part of Season 1 and Season 2.

I know that you said that she's been appointed as the youngest Lieutenant in the department's history but that's still not saying too much. Hell that could put her in her mid-30's even but there has to be a reference on her age or age range before I'll change it.
