By the looks of things, Hetty won’t play a major role in Ghosts season 4, and this could be a surprisingly positive development for the lady of the manor. Hetty’s powers have not yet been revealed by the sitcom, so viewers might reasonably have hoped that season 4 would see her explore her supernatural abilities. However, it is important to note that Ghosts season 4 has already teased numerous major storylines for living and dead characters alike. Isaac’s kidnapping in the season 3 finale will introduce a new villain to the series, Mary Holland’s Patience.
Although Ghosts season 4’s new character Patience the Puritan may not stay unambiguously villainous for long, she will take up screen time and story focus as the ghosts adjust to her presence at the Woodstone B&B. Jay’s ability to see ghosts in season 4 may also be influenced by Patience, as this might be the “Intense” ability one of the show’s stars mentioned to TVLine. Speaking of Sam and Jay, they will be busy with more than visits from their respective in-laws in season 4. According to the show’s producers, their marriage will struggle in season 4.
