GHOSTS Adds Dean Norris and Mary Holland to Season 4

GHOSTS is introducing Sam’s (Rose McIver) father: Dean Norris will guest star in season 4, it was announced at Comic-Con. (Viewers met Sam’s deceased mother–played by Rachael Harris—in season 1.)

According to CBS, “Kindly and well-meaning, Sam’s dad Frank arrives at Woodstone for his first visit in years, along with his new girlfriend. Frank and Sam have struggled to stay close since Frank divorced Sam’s mom when Sam was 10. On the surface, Frank and Sam are cordial, but deep-down Sam resents her father for being largely absent from her life. After decades of insisting ‘everything was fine,’ Sam is finally compelled to confront these feelings when a new ghost at Woodstone forces her into an awkward conversation with her dad.”

Additionally, Mary Holland will recur as Puritan ghost Patience who (spoiler alert) grabbed Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) and pulled him into the dirt at the end of season 3.

According to CBS, “Patience is the ghost of a Puritan woman who died in the late 1600s. While alive, she was exceedingly severe and judgmental even by Puritan standards. As such, she was expelled from her village for ‘being a bit too much.’ After being dead a couple hundred years, Patience was inadvertently abandoned (by our Revolutionary War ghost Isaac) underground near the mansion and has become a feral creature “roaming the dirt” since 1895. In the season three finale, Patience reemerged from the dirt to kidnap Isaac and dragged him back to her lair. In the premiere of season four, we will meet Patience and find out her plans for our dear Isaac …”

Norris is known for BREAKING BAD, UNDER THE DOME, CLAWS, and LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME. Holland’s credits include THE BIG DOOR PRIZE, HOUSEBROKEN, PHYSICAL, and VEEP.
