And at this point, we just don't know enough about Celia's political power to suss out whether or not she's got the gall to go head-to-head with Claire Underwood without her mom hiding underfoot. If the older Jones goes forward with Claire's plan (which it sounds like she's definitely not going to do at this moment), that means that Celia's position in line will take a huge hit. Hamilton has been nominated for three SAG Awards.Īs it stands right now in episode 1, Celia's role in the Claire Underwood-Doris Jones feud is very much standing firmly in place behind her mom. According to IMDb, her sister Heidi is a lawyer IRL. Hamilton also appeared on several episodes of Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit. Like everything else in the land of House of Cards, nothing is anywhere close to being easy.Ĭelia Jones is played by LisaGay Hamilton, an actress who's had stints on both the politically charged Scandal and before that, on the medical drama, Grey's Anatomy. The breaks on that plan are pumped pretty quickly due to the arrival of Claire Underwood, who'd like the younger Jones to wait two-to-four years before moving forward with her campaign so that Underwood can take the seat in the Senate and then move on to the governorship.
There isn't a wealth of information to be pulled from Episode 1 of Season 4 on the ins and outs of Celia Jones' character, but here's what we know so far: the unflappable Doris Jones plans on retiring and passing her seat in the Congress representing Texas's 30 Congressional District to her daughter, Celia, who's already assembled a team to help her win the seat once her mom steps down. (Spoilers for Episode 1, Season 4 of House of Cards ahead.) Which means that the Texas 30 Congressional District just became a serious point of contention for the leading women in Texas, and maybe even the star of Season 4. In her backyard stable meet-up with Leann Harvey, Claire Underwood mentions Doris's daughter, and I couldn't stop wondering who is Celia Jones? House of Cardsthankfully answers that question fairly early on, explaining by way of Harvey that the elder Jones' soon-to-be seat in Congress is the only elected office up for grabs in 2016. OK, I'm going to be completely honest: After meeting Doris Jones (played by the flawless Cicely Tyson), I wondered how the hell Season 4 of House of Cards could get any better.
