Season 4 of Ghosts continues to delight fans with its mix of humor, heart, and supernatural charm. However, Alberta’s storyline this season narrowly avoided being an overlooked gem. The jazz singer ghost, known for her larger-than-life personality and haunting vocal talents, has long been a fan favorite. Yet, early episodes hinted that her character might not get the depth and focus she deserves.
In previous seasons, Alberta’s backstory, filled with glamour and intrigue, added richness to the show’s ensemble. Her mysterious death and her pursuit of recognition as a jazz legend set her apart. As Season 4 began, some fans feared that Alberta’s storyline might be relegated to the background amidst the antics of the other ghosts and the human characters. With so many threads to juggle, it seemed possible that Alberta’s powerful narrative might not receive its due.
Fortunately, the show’s creators recognized Alberta’s potential. Mid-season, she was thrust into a pivotal storyline that showcased her strength, resilience, and charisma. Whether it was a subplot about uncovering more details about her untimely demise or moments where her leadership among the ghosts shone, Alberta was given the spotlight she deserved.
Fans have since taken to social media to express their relief and joy. As one fan tweeted, “Alberta is the soul of the show—literally and figuratively. I’m so glad they didn’t waste her arc!” By sidestepping what could have been a missed opportunity, Ghosts not only satisfied its audience but solidified Alberta’s place as one of the series’ most compelling characters.
