Why did Flower leave the cast of ‘Ghosts’?
Flower, a hippie ghost portrayed by actor Sheila Carrasco, got “sucked off,” a term the show uses for characters who move on in the afterlife, at the end of season 2.

According to showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, deciding which ghost is ready to ascend is all about potential storylines.

“It would be believable that she got sucked off because she had some growth toward the end of season 2, and there was a lot of different reactions people could have to her disappearing,” Port told Entertainment Weekly.

Flower, played by actor Sheila Carrasco, left “Ghosts” this season.
Is Flower coming back to ‘Ghosts’?
It’s unclear whether Flower could return to “Ghosts,” but the show’s producer seemed to leave the possibility open during an interview with Variety.

“In terms of seeing ghosts going forward or not, this is the kind of show where you could see a ghost anywhere,” Port said. “We’ve hinted that ghosts are in heaven. They’re in hell, they’re on Earth, so I think there’s different ways to see people too.”

Is Rose McIver, aka Sam, from ‘Ghosts’ pregnant?
Rose McIver, who stars on “Ghosts” as Sam, revealed her real-life pregnancy at the Golden Globes.

However, her character on the show is not pregnant.

“We’re not writing it in,” Wiseman told TV Insider. “Currently, Jay and Sam aren’t going to have kids.”

Wiseman said it felt too early in the series to introduce a baby, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen later on.

The showrunner also said they don’t anticipate any availability issues from McIver, so the show’s airing schedule shouldn’t be affected.
