In the American version of Ghosts, Sheila Carrasco played Susan “Flower” Montero for 40 episodes between 2021 and 2024. Flower was a hippy from the 1960s who took drugs, expressed free love, and fought for equality. Despite her good heart, Flower was forgetful and gullible, leading to her death via bear mauling when she tried to hug the killer animal while under the influence. If a living human passes through Flower’s body, they begin to hallucinate, a hilarious source of humor on the show.
Ghosts is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy series with great characters. Here’s why you should be watching this clever, joyful show.
In Season 3 of the acclaimed horror-comedy sitcom, Flower goes missing for an extended time, prompting her friends to search for her in the woods. Once her friends assume Flower has joined the afterlife and moved on from the Earthly realm, it is discovered that Flower fell into a water well. Flower returned to the show after Hetty rescued her from the well using the telephone cord she used to commit suicide. Unlike Wix’s decision to leave Ghosts to focus on other projects, Sheila Carrasco left Ghosts to raise her newborn daughter.
In July 2023, Carrasco announced on Instagram that she was five months pregnant, with pictures taken by her Ghosts co-star Roman Zaragoza. Although Carrasco did not share the baby’s name or sex, her Ghosts co-star Danielle Pinnock celebrated the news, adding, “I cannot wait to be the rich auntie!!!!!” (via ET Online).
Even more joyous, Carrasco overcame fertility problems she had experienced in the past, telling her fans:
“Words can’t express our excitement, gratitude, and pure JOY!! I love this baby so much already my heart could explode. I can’t wait to raise a child with this wildly loving man. I am so happy!! If you’re struggling with fertility, I hope this post can give you HOPE. And feel free to reach out to me cuz I get it… and so do 1 in 5 women. You are not alone.”
Although Mary (Wix) and Sheila (Flower) left Ghosts for different reasons, they left their mark on the two versions of the popular sitcom and both have bright futures.
Ghosts is available to stream on Fubo and Paramount+.
