Many of the show’s ghosts amuse themselves with petty in-fighting, but few are as prone to indulging in drama as Isaac. A Revolutionary War general with a penchant for gossip, Isaac almost married his love interest Nigel in the season 3 finale before backing out at the last moment. In the latest of Ghosts’ annoying cliffhanger endings, Isaac was then kidnapped by the largely unseen Puritan ghost Patience. Flower befriended Patience earlier in season 3 and Ghosts revealed that Isaac previously left Patience alone in a hole near the house years earlier. This decision seemingly came back to bite him.
Until she kidnapped Isaac, Patience was mostly used as a background character.
Luckily, Ghosts casting Mary Holland as Patience proves she will be a real character in season 4 and not just a running gag. Until she kidnapped Isaac, Patience was mostly used as a background character. This was amusingly effective and the revelation that Isaac was responsible for her years trapped in a well was funny. However, casting Holland in the role is enough to prove that she will be more than an unsettling background villain in season 4. I’m glad Holland was selected for the role as she has proven an hilarious supporting star in big and small-screen comedies.
