While none of the main ghosts have been “sucked off” just yet, it could still happen. CBS has renewed Ghosts for a third season, and there are about eight episodes left in season 2. If the CBS comedy follows the same storylines as the BBC version of Ghosts, someone getting “sucked off” feels inevitable.
Fans of the BBC series saw their first main ghost move on to a new plane during season 4. Mary, a peasant burned at the stake after being accused of witchcraft, disappeared, much to the chagrin of fans. The US version of the series doesn’t have a character who closely aligns with Mary.
Mary’s move to the afterlife doesn’t seem like a story arc choice, though. The show’s creators told Radio Times that the decision to write Mary off was difficult. Radio Times asserts that the decision was a logistical one. Katy Wix portrayed Mary in 24 episodes but has several other projects in the pipe.

If the US version of the series does suck someone off, fans can’t decide who they are prepared to see go. While Thorfinn feels like a logical choice, some fans would miss the Viking and his unique attributes. Some viewers are prepared to see Flower go since most of her story has been told by now. The same is true for Pete. If forced to pick, most Reddit fans agree that they could part with members of the Cholera pit. We happen to agree.
