After a nine-month wait, we finally know which Woodstone ghost was “sucked off” at the end of Season 2. Sheila Carrasco’s Flower has moved on to the afterlife.
Now that the Ghosts Season 3 premiere episode, “The Owl,” has aired and one of the show’s biggest burning questions has been answered, showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman took the time to discuss their experience crafting the first episode of the new seasons, and specifically why they came to the conclusion that Flower should be the first of the show’s main ghosts to move on.
As one might expect, we say “sucked off” a considerable amount of times in the video interview at the top of this article and Port used it as an opportunity to highlight that that’s a gem that came from the BBC original. “The ‘sucked off’ phrase came from the British show, and that was literally probably the only thing that they sent us that they were like, ‘You guys gotta use this. This is very good. You have our blessing.’”
Much to many fans’ delight, they indeed took it and ran with it, delivering loads of hilarious dialogue that address the idea. Yes, there are still many laughs to be had in “The Owl” as the ghosts process what it means to finally see one of their own “sucked off,” but there’s also a touching emotional undercurrent that’s heavily tied to what’s made Ghosts so special — the attachment the characters have to one another, and the attachment we, as an audience, have to them.
