While Kelly hasn't given away anything about his character arc in the next chapter he did suggest that anything was possible on the show. In an interview with the Inquisitr, the actor revealed that showrunner Beau Willimon was anything but predictable.

"I was alive at the end of three, that's all I can say. I wouldn't be surprised if Beau was behind my bedroom door right now. I put nothing past him," he said. 

While miraculous resusciations are possible, Kelly is also aware of the dispensability of key characters on the show.

Breathecast sourced another quote from Kelly in an interview with Deadline wherein he suggested that his character would always be vulnerable.

"It's House of Cards, right? They do not hesitate to kill great characters," he said.
