In a haunting twist of destiny, the Season 3 premiere of CBS’ sitcom “Ghosts” saw fans say goodbye to Flower, the free-spirited 1960s hippy played by Sheila Carrasco.
The show’s usage of the word “sucked off” may raise eyebrows, but worry not; it’s simply the unique method these souls leave Woodstone Mansion’s purgatory. We spoke with executive producers Joe Port and Joe Wiseman about the behind-the-scenes decisions that led to Flower’s otherworldly goodbye.
Port went on to say, “We wanted it to be somebody very consequential, someone who’d have an impact on the other ghosts and obviously on Sam and Jay to some degree.”
Flower’s departure threatens to upend the house’s established order, particularly for Viking Thor (Devan Chandler Long), who had developed a special bond with the flower kid. “We wanted someone who was going to be impactful and lead to a lot of stories,” Wiseman said.
What happened to Flower on “Ghosts”?
Flower’s character in “Ghosts” met her departure in the Season 3 premiere titled “The Owl.” While Flower’s departure is humorously described in the program, the consequences within Woodstone Mansion are far from amusing. The surviving ghosts are filled with jealousy and curiosity as they deal with their enigmatic fate.
Wiseman offered an unexpected comparison, noting, “I once very unpopularly compared it to ‘Gilligan’s Island’ in the room, where if one of the people on ‘Gilligan’s Island’ made it off the island, you’d be happy for them.” But you’d also be envious. You’d also feel saddened that they were gone. All of our characters have already died. So someone being sucked off is a tricky thing on the show.”
But does Flower’s departure mark the end of Sheila Carrasco? The creators stay vague, implying that the program will be surprising. Port stated, “Whether you believe in ghosts or not, this is the type of programme where you may see one anyplace.
We’ve implied that ghosts exist in heaven, hell, and on Earth, therefore I believe there are multiple ways to perceive individuals.
Despite problems from last year’s Hollywood strikes, “Ghosts” returns with a promise of 10 episodes for this shortened season.
The creators tell fans that the quicker pace does not jeopardize the plot arcs; rather, it delivers those expected milestones a little sooner. Among the planned stories are Jay’s endeavor to create a restaurant for the bed and breakfast, Pete’s (Richie Moriarty) unexplained plot, and Isaac’s (Brandon Scott Jones) and Nigel’s (John Hartman) engagement, which will lead to a wedding storyline.
Ghosts’ Season 3 Spirited Revelations and Spooky Escapades
As the season progresses, “Ghosts” intends to introduce more spectral residents and explore further ghostly abilities. Viewers may also expect to learn the circumstances surrounding another ghost’s death, either Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky) or Sasappis (Román Zaragoza).
Furthermore, Betsy Sodaro’s Nancy, the leader of the cellar cholera sufferers, will devote more time above.
Keeping the Halloween mood alive, the program will include the eerie events in the season. Port went on to say, “We didn’t want to rob ourselves of a very good Halloween episode idea that we had going into the season.”
As Flower discovers her angelic snuggle with bears in the sky, “Ghosts” Season 3 unfolds a gripping blend of humor, mystery, and, of course, the unexpected in the afterlife at Woodstone Mansion.
