Sheila Carrasco plays Flower on “Ghosts.”
Is Flower coming back to ‘Ghosts’?
Flower, a hippie ghost portrayed by actor Sheila Carrasco, appeared to get “sucked off,” a term the show uses for characters who move on in the afterlife, at the end of season 2.
In the third season’s Halloween episode, the cast of “Ghosts” tried to get Flower back to Woodstone with a seance. It was unsuccessful, but Flower’s voice could be heard calling for Thor from the depths of a well on the property.
Will Flower get rescued and make a full return? Showrunner Joe Port previously told TV Insider not to fully count her out.
“The show, as you’ve seen, deals with heaven and hell and the earthly plane, and there’s plenty of room to see somebody whether they’re at the mansion or not,” he said. “So, could we see her? I think it’s always a possibility, even if someone’s ‘sucked off’ or ‘went down on them.’”
Carrasco welcomed her first child in November, around the time filming for season 3 started. Port said her real-life pregnancy was “just one factor” that led to her possibly being “sucked off,” and thus absent from the show.
However, her character on the show is not pregnant.
“We’re not writing it in,” showrunner Joe 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.
