Nestor Carbonell previews what\'s coming for Alex Romero in Season 4 of A&E\'s Bates Motel

Nestor Carbonell‘s Alex Romero has been through a lot in the first three seasons of

and the fourth season, starting tonight on A&E, will bring even more twists that even the most die-hard Bates Motel viewer might not see coming.

for some insight on what’s coming soon… but first, we asked about that moment in the Season 3 finale where Romero’s past seemed to control him and bring out what may be one of his own fears or insecurities. All it took was a mention of him becoming like his father.

“Bob Paris brought that out and it’s something I think I talked to Kerry [Ehrin] about his history,” Carbonell told us when we were among a group of journalists visiting the set. “When he was in the Marines, I think he went into the police force with some idealistic notions of justice and doing things a different way in White Pine Bay than his father had done. It soon fell onto the reality of politics and having to work with the system, and developing his own sense of justice and sort of being as comfortable as much as he could be with his own paradigm of morality, and justice, and being the judge and executioner all in one,” he said.

seems to introduce a new aspect of White Pine Bay, and Season 4 is no exception. A bit of the action will take place at the Pineview Institute, where we’ll see new sides to the show. “What’s great about the season is that we explore mental health and it doesn’t sound so cinematic, but really the way that it’s been written explores treatment and I think it needed to be addressed at some point,” Carbonell enthused. “At some point Norma has to realize, ‘Okay I obviously can’t let this go on.’ So we do explore that in depth and it’s beautifully done and that’s the world,” he said.

Carbonell, who directed Season 3’s “The Deal,” has directed an episode of Season 4 of the show as well. That privilege is but one of the many things that makes

“Everyone has ownership of the show,” he explained. “You feel it and people have given up other jobs just to stay on board are the crew members that we just value and love. I know that I’m speaking to people in the office and we all agree that we’re so spoiled. We’re going to have a rude awakening when it’s all over because show’s don’t run like this normally. We get scripts 3-4 months in Kerry and Carlton and all our writers. It’s going to be hard to leave the show,” he said.

Season 4 premieres tonight (March 7) on A&E. You can find another preview below, and be sure to browse KSiteTV for more interviews and coverage related to the show!
