Regarding his character in Season Four of "Poltergeist: The Legacy":

"House leader" Derek Rayne, a.k.a. Dutch-born actor Derek de Lint, contends with problems of a different kind, but is more than pleased at the prospect. "For the first time in four years I'm being given a love interest. It's about time," he smiles. "It was getting pretty boring, but I now have an incredibly intelligent, extremely attractive investigative journalist in my life." Laughing delightedly, he quips, "She had to be very interesting and out of the ordinary because I live in a house with all these beautiful, extraordinary women, so they had to come up with someone pretty special - not just an airhead."

De Lint is also thrilled that this season marks his directorial debut. "I'm a little behind the others," he admits. "Both Martin and Helen have directed episode previously, but now it's my turn." Unwilling to give too much away, he reveals that the episode contains just the "female characters - with one returning as an angel." Short of being bribed by the Editor, his lips are sealed so you'll just have to watch to find out which one. What he can reveal is that an ongoing villain in the shape of Simon MacCorkindale arrives to stalk his steps.
