Ghosts is hands down one of the most delightful new shows. It’s got an A+ behind-the-scenes team led by showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, but there’s one particular standout quality of the series that just plain old doesn’t work without spot-on casting. It’s the show's ability to switch from deeply emotional moments to laugh-out-loud one-liners on a dime.
The first of two interviews includes McIver, Wisocky, Pinnock, Jones, and Grodman, and spends a good deal of time digging into how exactly they’re able to excel with comedy and emotion simultaneously. One of the first scenes we touched on is one of the most unforgettable moments of the entire first season; it’s when Sam commits to maintaining her connection with the ghost rather than risk breaking it to lift the curse that could be stopping them from turning the house into a successful B&B.
“I think that there’s an instinct to not want to make it too saccharine, right? So you want to undercut it. A lot of times we’ll just sort of do coverage and you’ve just gotta hit that one line and it’s our editors that do such a great job of being able to find that balance of tone.
Wisocky went on to highlight the value of an ideal scene partner when discussing another personal favorite scene of Season 1 that happens in Episode 10, “Possession.” It’s when Jay’s left Hetty’s body and Hetty feels compelled to tell Sam, “Don’t live your life with regrets, Samantha.” Here’s what Wisocky had to say about finding the ideal tone for that especially powerful line of dialogue:
As for Grodman’s Trevor, we do get some opportunities to see the kind of guy he really is earlier on in the season, but it isn’t until Episode 16, “Trevor’s Pants,” that we really get a sense of who he is and what he stands for. Trevor may seem to fit in perfectly with his Wall Street co-workers, but we eventually come to learn that he’s willing to step up when necessary.
