The new series of the Ghost Whisperer has begun on Living , Sky TV’s popular channel. For those of you who are not familiar with this programme, here is a little info for you. It is screened at 9pm tonight.
Newlywed Melinda Gordon tries to help the dead communicate with loved ones, ‘but sometimes the messages she receives are confusing.’ Most of Melinda’s efforts involve resolving conflicts that are preventing the spirits from passing over. Once she has helped them they move into the light.
This popular sentimental drama is ‘inspired by medium James Van Praagh.’
The Cast: Jennifer Love Hewitt: Melinda Gordon
David Conrad: Jim Clancy
Camryn Manheim: Delia Banks
Christoph Sanders: Ned Banks
Aisha Tyler: Andrea Moreno
Jamie Kennedy: Eli James
I have enjoyed the first three series. The new series 4 has begun and it promises to be very controversial. There are big upsets in store for all the devoted fans of the series. Some of it will be hard to take and some of it will make the regular viewers of the Ghost Whisperer very unhappy, not to mention frustrated.
What interests me in this new series, is the inclusion of the latest recruit, who happens to be a clairaudient medium. It makes it a little more interesting to have someone who just ‘hears’ the ghosts, rather than see them like Melinda does. He and Melinda work well together to help those ghosts pass through the light and on to their spirit home, where they belong.
Some of the story lines are quite inspired and I can see where the writers are coming from. The latest series though, makes the imagination stretch perhaps a little too far. Let me know your thoughts.
