‘White Collar’ season 5 spoilers: ‘Deadwood’ alum Kim Dickens to play Peter’s ex

“White Collar” continues to enjoy diving into the worlds of some of their characters’ pasts, and for this new update, we have some scoop all about getting an opportunity to meet someone who once knew Peter very, very well: His ex-girlfriend. She is going to enter the picture soon, and possibly create all sorts of problems for him.

As for who is going to be playing this woman? It’s none other than former “Deadwood” star Kim Dickens! Fresh off of a role on “Sons of Anarchy” this summer, ET Online confirms that Dickens will play the awesomely-named part of Jill Stone, who works at the FBI’s Special Surveillance Group. The two met when they were at Quantico together, and she is going to reach out for some help from him on a particularly interesting espionage case that she is working on.

But is the real danger for Peter going to be with this case, or what happens with Elizabeth back home when she realizes that Jill is back on the scene? It’s a good question, and you would assume that Peter already has enough problems as it is. Just look at everything else the guy has going on right now, whether it be his arrest, Neal actually being in a position to help him, or some of the other cases that they will be taking on this upcoming season.
