Series star Danielle Pinnock has high hopes for Pete and Alberta’s Ghosts season 5 relationship. The spirits of CBS’s Ghosts are the show’s true stars, despite how pivotal Rose McIver’s Sam and Utkarsh Ambudkar’s Jay are to the show’s success. While Jay saving his soul from Elias will likely be Ghosts season 5’s most pressing storyline early on, plots like Sass’s romance with Joan and Pete and Alberta’s new relationship are just as likely to dominate the rest of the season’s action.
While Sass and Joan’s Ghosts season 4 ending was disappointing, series star Danielle Pinnock’s recent red carpet comments to THR prove that Pete and Alberta’s season finale frisson will soon become something bigger. Per Pinnock:
“Alberta… She’s in a little relationship, and she’s in her Soft-Girl Era, and so I can’t wait to see how that relationship blossoms with Pete, played by Richie Moriarty. I just am thrilled to be doing all these shenanigans with him.”
Alberta and Pete’s Relationship Could Change Her Personality In Ghosts Season 5
Pete and Alberta’s Romance Was A Major Ghosts Season 4 Finale Twist
Alberta is a Prohibition Era lounge singer who, on paper, could not be less like Moriarty’s meek Pete. However, in later episodes of Ghosts season 4, Alberta finds herself increasingly shocked and perturbed by her unexpected attraction to Pete. Pete has held a candle to Alberta for some time now, but he seemingly rejected her advances when she went to kiss him near the end of the season.
Fortunately, Ghosts season 4, episode 22, “The Devil Went Down To Woodstone,” revealed that Pete was only turning down Alberta temporarily. After breaking things off with his long-distance girlfriend Donna, Pete returned newly single and hooked up with Alberta. Pete and Alberta’s relationship has a lot of potential in Ghosts season 5 since, as Pinnock’s comments point out, viewers haven’t seen much of Alberta’s softer side so far.
Our Take On Ghosts Season 5’s Pete and Alberta Romance
Pete and Alberta’s Connection Could Fix One Season 4 Issue
While Ghosts season 5 must explain Sass’s death and give Jay a chance to retrieve his soul, the show also needs to prioritize Pete and Alberta’s relationship. Alberta’s “soft-girl era” can allow the show to illustrate her sweeter side after years of sass and dramatics, while Pete’s new relationship can solve a recent issue with his character.
While Pete’s power results in some fun storylines, it also means he receives less shared screen time with the other ghosts than he used to.
Ever since Pete discovered he could temporarily leave the grounds of the Woodstone Mansion in Ghosts season 3, he has often been absent on trips all over the world. While Pete’s power results in some fun storylines, it also means he receives less shared screen time with the other ghosts than he used to. As such, Ghosts season 5’s Pete and Alberta romance could bring him back into the fold without ruining his new power.
