Dexter star Michael C Hall is happy and healthy once again and loving life with wife Jennifer Carpenter
They play brother and sister on the hit show Dexter but in real life there's obviously nothing platonic about the relationship between Michael C Hall and Jennifer Carpenter.
The two were spotted grabbing a coffee together yesterday in Los Angeles and despite the long hours they spend on set together every day they looked like they hadn't seen each other in ages.
The two actors were completely engrossed in each other, and obviously enjoying every moment together as they swapped stories and laughed throughout their date.
Happy and healthy: Michael C Hall is looking back to full health after his cancer battle as he went for coffee with Jennifer Carpenter in LA yesterday
They also couldn't keep their hands off of each other, embracing lovingly several times during their coffee break and hen once again before getting in their separate cars and driving way.
It's great to see Hall looking so healthy and happy again and he's obviously won his bravely fought battle with cancer.
With his full head of thick curly hair and filled out frame the 39-year-old actor looked the picture of rude health.
It's a far cry from earlier in the year when Hall accepted his Golden Globe award looking frail and gaunt, with a knitted cap covering his bald head.
Hall's publicist announced in January that his client was undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

And the gruelling treatments obviously took their toll, making Hall lose all his hair and considerable amounts of weight.
Hall expressed his anxiety over having to undergo treatments, explaining that he had spent his life avoiding doctors following a traumatic childhood hernia operation.
'He’s great,' Carpenter told Access Hollywood shortly fter Hall started treatment. 'Very lucky [he] caught it early – it’s 98 percent curable, so it’s basically choosing the treatment and sticking with it.
'After two rounds of treatment, he was in complete remission. He’s just finishing up to make sure it stays that way,' Jennifer said.

'He wanted to let everybody know and he’s been receiving so much support and good thoughts. That’s been the kick that he needed to just finish it up.'
She went on to add that the illness had actually brought them closer together.
'It’s always felt like an opportunity to get closer and I’m just so impressed with him and anyone who’s had to go through it,' she said, becoming visibly emotional. 'Every second’s special with him, it sounds corny but it’s true. I’m very lucky.'
Thankfully on April 25 Carpenter announced that her husband had made a full recovery and Hall was soon back on the set again filming Dexter in Miami.
Hall plays the lead title character, a forensics scientist that moonlights as a serial killer, in the hit Showtime series that is loosely based on the series of books by Jeff Lindsay.

On December 31 2008 Carpenter and Hall surprised everybody by eloping together. They had been dating previously for a year and a half.
They made their first official appearance together as a married couple at the Golden Globes in January 2009.
Hall had previously been married to Amy Spanger, his co-star in the Broadway musical Chicago.
They were married for four years before separating and subsequently divorcing in 2006.
