Woodstone Mansionis about to get a little more cozy asGhostsannounces two new guest stars. Today, during the show’s panel in Ballroom 20 atSan Diego Comic-Con, it was announced thatMary Holland(Big Door Prize) andDean Norris(Breaking Bad) will be joining the cast of the CBS series for its upcoming fourth season. As we learned just a few weeks ago, the spooky yet hilarious serieswill return just in time for the bewitching season, as audiences can expect to catch the season premiere on Thursday, October 17 at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.
So, who will the new additions be playing? Set in a recurring role, Holland will appear as the Puritan specter known as Patience, who made her grand debut in theSeason 3 finale. Holland will put a face and personality to Patience, a character known for her strict and judgemental ways, traits that caused her village to turn against her back in the 1600s. Being so by the book that the Puritans couldn’t stand her tells us all we need to know about Holland’s character. Her spirit has been trapped on the grounds of Woodstone Manor for hundreds of years, but she has some beef to sort out with the Revolutionary War ghost Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), which led her to go above ground and pull him down with her in the Season 3 finale.
Joining the land of the living, Norris will join the cast ofGhostin a guest capacity as Sam’s (Rose McIver) dad, Frank. The father-daughter duo haven’t been close since Frank and Sam’s mom divorced when she was 10, so when Frank comes to visit with his newest girlfriend,Samis not overly eager to see her dad. Playing it as cool as possible, Sam tries to hide her feelings of resentment but, when one of the ghosts pushes her to tell the truth, a reluctant Sam faces her father and pulls him in for an uncomfortable conversation.
