One of the reasons I prefer Ghosts to other similar sitcoms is the warm interplay between its main characters, and Isaac has always been one of the more toxic additions to the main cast. Hetty is admittedly meaner, but she isn’t as sly as Isaac. I think Isaac is overdue a character redemption as he has repeatedly failed to grow and change throughout earlier seasons. While there’s nothing wrong with a nasty or even outright villainous character in an ensemble sitcom, I find it frustrating to see a character stagnate for so long. Isaac is overdue a change.
Isaac’s mean-spirited attitude has always felt out of place to me.
Fortunately, Holland’s Patience could teach Isaac a lesson for leaving her alone in the hole, which in turn could make the messiest, more self-centered character in Ghosts finally grow. This would be a welcome change, since Isaac’s mean-spirited attitude has always felt out of place to me. Ghosts changed the British show’s tone in various ways, making the series more optimistic and less cynical than its predecessor. However, Isaac’s character went in the opposite direction. The supporting star has always been the show’s most arrogant character, so Ghosts season 4 should use Holland’s Patience to change this.
