A new TV Guide report has dropped a pretty weighty bit of information about the first episode of season 3 of Ray Donovan.

Hank Azaria's Ed Returning For Season 3?  

The report reveals that the show will be bidding farewell to a "significant character." It will be someone very close to Ray (Liev Schreiber), and he will put on a stoic face, but will be crumbling with guilt, according to the report.

TV Guide does not speculate who this character might be, but in the comments section some fans think it might be Terry (Eddie Marsan). Terry is in a very dangerous position in the prison and of what we have seen in the teasers he is heavily bruised and battered and there are concerns of him surviving the time. Teddy is seen badly bruised and battered behind bars as the family members fear his life is danger inside the brutal confines. Terry is a significant character and also very close to Ray, and his death is very likely to imbue Ray with a deep sense of guilt.

Will Abby Be Leaving The Show In Season 3? 

In one of the trailers, Mickey (Jon Voight) is seen warning Ray that Terry's fellow inmates will kill him, as Terry's is seen getting beaten up by them.

Who do you think is likely to be killed off in season 3? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section.

Season 3 of Ray Donovan will premiere on July 12 at 9 p.m. on Showtime.
