As previously reported, Big Love has major plans in the works for Alby on season four.

Those developments will largely center around Dale Tomasson, the character's new love interest on the HBO hit. Played by Benjamin Koldyke, Dale is a closeted Mormon who is part of the hierarchy for the United Effort Brotherhood.

HBO has released the first two photos of Koldyke in this role, as it's unclear just how he'll impact the life of Big Love's villainous Alby.

But this much is certain: when season four debuts on January 10, we'll be tuned in to find out!
