‘Bates Motel’ Season 2 Spoilers: New Cop Character To Cause Trouble For Norma And Norman

If Norma thought her problems were buried along with deputy Mike Shelby she was DEAD wrong. “Bates Motel” is looking to cast a new cop to replace Mike Vogel (now on “Under The Dome”) in season 2 of the hit A&E “Psycho” prequel.

According to E! Online, the series is looking to cast a woman named Patti Lin. Lin will be an “ambitious, smart and eager” cop that will assist Sheriff Romero. While the town of White Pine Bay desperately needs a cop that is “good at their job,” Lin could definitely cause some trouble for problem-prone Norma and Norman.

No actress has been named as Patti Lin yet, but “Bates Motel” has already begun expanding its cast for season 2. In mid-August, TV Line reported that Michael O’Neill, best known for being the “Grey’s Anatomy” shooter, would be joining the A&E show as Nick, the father of recently deceased Miss Watson.

Former “90210” star Kathleen Robertson has also been added to the cast, playing a “smart” and “sexy” businesswoman/ artist named Jodi. Check out a full casting list update below:

Patti Lin – An ambitious, smart and eager cop that will assist Sheriff Romero.

Nick (Michael O’Neill) – The father of Miss Watson, who wants to “exact revenge on the perp responsible” for her death.

Jodi (Kathleen Robertson) – A smart and sexy businesswoman/ artist who’s “as hard-charging as she is successful.”

Christine (Rebecca Creskoff) – Norma’s first female friend and member of White Pine Bay’s upper circle.

Caleb (Kenny Johnson) – Norma’s estranged brother who used to sexually assault her. Caleb will be showing up in town to hook Norma into a business venture.

George (Michael Vartan) – A charming divorcé who catches the attention of Norma.

Zane Carpenter (Michael Eklund) – An “upper-level player” in Dylan’s drug family.

Cody Brennan (Paloma Kwiatkowski) – A party girl who befriends Norman and shows him how to have fun and “act out.”

“Bates Motel” will return to A&E for its second season in 2014. Will you be tuning in? Let us know in the comments section.
