Just days after Ghosts Season 4 premiered Episode 1, “Patience,” cast members Brandon Scott Jones, Román Zaragoza, Sheila Carrasco, and Rose McIver hit the stage of New York Comic Con 2024, where they discussed the Halloween episode, McIver’s series directorial debut, and more. The team also stopped by Collider’s interview studio, where Perri Nemiroff had the opportunity to get more in-depth about “Halloween 4: The Witch” and what fans can expect from the rest of the season.
Ghosts continues to haunt its viewers with its highly-anticipated Season 4 on CBS and Paramount+. Following their epic cliffhanger of a Season 3 finale back in May, Sam (McIver) and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) Arondekar’s ghostly B&B is about to get a little more rowdy in the fourth season. With Dean Norris joining the cast as Sam’s dad and Mary Holland as Puritan ghost Patience, the Woodstone Mansion gets even more crowded. With their businesses in full swing, a bunch of spirits flying in, and a surprising twist coming Jay’s way, is it only a matter of time before the Arondekars are spread too thin and reach their breaking point?
During their interview, Jones, Zaragoza, Carrasco, and McIver discuss, among other things, the future of Nigel and Isaac’s relationship, Sass finally embracing the heartthrob he is, and what to expect when Jay finally sees the ghosts this season.

Mary Holland Delivers a Pitch-Perfect Performance as Patience
PERRI NEMIROFF: I have to ask you all about working with Mary [Holland]. Do you remember the very first moment on set when she said or did something that made you stop and go, “My god, you are pitch-perfect for Patience?”
BRANDON SCOTT JONES: There’s a part where I have to imitate the way she does the name Patience. We both have to imitate it, but we hadn’t shot the scene where we actually heard her say it yet. I don’t think she had started shooting it. So, I texted her, and I asked her to send me a voice note of her doing the Patience thing, and just hearing that, I was like, “Oh my god, I can’t wait.” We played it for each other.
ROMÁN ZARAGOZA: I remember that, and it was her doing the double Patience. I kept thinking, “How is someone gonna play this character?” It is so hard on the page to play that honestly, and in those two words, I was like, “She is a genius.” In those two words. Then, it was so fun to shoot that scene together and to work with her. She is incredible.
JONES: I should make that my ringtone.
I was gonna say, I hope you kept the voice note!
JONES: I think I might have it. I’ll have to find. It is very good.
