Homeland: Scoop on the possibility of the show addressing James Rebhorn's death and more on season 4 from TVLine's Matt Webb Mitovich

Here's some scoop on Homeland from this week's (Posted on 7/28/14) Matt's Inside Line column.

Will Homeland address the passing of James Rebhorn (Carrie’s father) this season? –Melinda
Remembering Rebhorn as “one of the kindest, most supportive and wonderful men to work with,” EP Alex Gansa was mum at TCA on how exactly the show will write in his absence. ”We want to honor him,” he said, “but how we actually go about doing that, I’d rather not say.”

Got any juicy scoop about Homeland? I love Carrie and Quinn — what’s in store for them in Season 4? –Jane
Again, top secrecy. “We’re all very much invested in the Quinn character,” is all that EP Alexander Cary would say at TCA. But as a consolation prize, Jane, I offer this from Gansa: “I can say unequivocally that Dana Brody will not be back for Season 4.” [And the crowd goes wild.]

According to TVLine's Vlada Gelman, Emily Procter will be guest-starring in two season 4 episodes of White Collar as the new head of New York's White Collar Division. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives some details on Procter's role:

My thoughts: I'm not familiar with Emily Procter since I never watched CSI:Miami, but I hope this doesn't mean that James Rebhorn (Reese Hughes) isn't going to be on the show anymore. I've always loved James on White Collar, so I would hate to see him leave the show.
