‘Ghosts’ Adds Season 4 Guest Stars Mary Holland As New Spirit & Dean Norris As Sam’s Dad

deadline.com:

Ghosts is adding some new characters for Season 4. Mary Holland and Dean Norris are set to guest star in the series. Holland has joined for the recurring role of Patience — a character that has been highly anticipated since last season — and Norris will play Frank, Samantha’s (Rose McIver) father, CBS revealed during the show’s panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday morning.

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 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.
