Jay Has Often Been An Afterthought For Both Sam & The Spirits In Ghosts
Jay Needs To Be More Of A Priority In Ghosts Season 5
Jay’s character has always been somewhat of a third wheel to Sam and her interactions with the ghosts in Woodstone Manor. Despite Jay’s inability to visualize the ghosts and hear what they’re saying, he has become more curious over time about them and the supernatural world. The limitations for Jay in not seeing the ghosts create a host of problems, starting with the fact that he’s an extrovert who enjoys being in the company of others. However, at home, Jay is more isolated because he can only talk to his wife and not the supernatural beings roaming around the manor.
Jay’s relationship with Sam is loving and passionate because they deeply care about each other. But their marriage can be challenging at times because Sam is constantly communicating with the ghosts, which often becomes her priority over anything else. Sam tries to include Jay as much as possible in her interactions with the ghosts to balance their marriage, their work schedules, their renovations to the house, expanding their businesses and interests, and having the ghosts coexist with them in the Manor. Still, her desire to fix the spirits’ problems sometimes overrides her personal life with Jay.
