The premiere of Ghosts Season 4 is approaching on the 2024 TV schedule, and as I count down the days to its October 17 premiere, my list of questions is only growing. Now, we know that two new actors are joining the Ghosts cast in key recurring and guest star roles – with one playing Patience and another as Sam’s dad. The reveal of who will be playing the Puritan ghost Patience specifically reminded me of two massive questions I have about the upcoming episodes and Isaac’s mystery specifically.
Ghosts Season 4 Has Added Mary Holland And Dean Norris As Recurring Guest Stars
Before we get into the speculation about Season 4, let’s break down this exciting casting news. During Ghosts’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con (via CBS), it was announced that Mary Holland and Dean Norris would be joining the ensemble as Patience and Sam’s dad, respectively.
Holland, who is known for her roles in Happiest Season and The Package, has been cast in a recurring role as Patience. As you likely remember, this character is the Puritan ghost who haunts the dirt and kidnaps Isaac at the end of Season 3.
Meanwhile, Norris – who is best known for his parts in Breaking Bad and Under the Dome – will play Sam’s dad Frank. He will visit the manor with his new girlfriend, and it sounds like we’ll learn more about why the two haven’t stayed close.
While learning more about Sam’s family and her history is super exciting, and will add drama to this beloved comedy, Patience’s casting is the thing that has kept me thinking, and it’s reminded me of two big questions.
I Have Two Major Questions About Patience And Isaac
When Season 3 of Ghosts ended, all we really knew about Paitence was she was a Puritan woman who had been abandoned by the other spirits when they tried to traverse through the dirt to get back to the manor after getting stuck in a well. It was clear that the other ghosts didn’t really like her, and they weren’t too concerned about the fact that she’d been missing for hundreds of years. However, she came back for revenge in the finale and kidnapped Isaac, which left me with two major questions.
What Is Isaac’s History With Patience?
