Ghosted by the Ghosts? Here’s Why Some Characters Vanished in Season 4!

Many episodes of Ghosts season 4 were missing one or more characters from the sitcom’s lineup, and there is a satisfying explanation for this. The spirits of CBS’s Ghosts are the show’s main characters and, despite all that Sam and Jay do for them, the sitcom’s true focus. As such, it is always noticeable when one of the show’s ghosts goes missing for a few episodes.

With so many major characters, it is no surprise that some season 4 episodes didn’t feature major Ghosts characters like Sass, Thor, or Flower. However, the sheer number of characters in the sitcom’s lineup isn’t the only cause of its missing cast members in season 4. When asked about this phenomenon in TVInsider’s “Ask Matt” column, TV critic Matt Roush had this explanation to offer:

“When this question has come up before, the show’s creators have typically explained that with so many characters to service each week, there will be episodes when one or another ghost may not be featured. The actors could also be written out if there’s a personal reason or other work conflict for them to be absent on a given week. This reasoning also applies to recurring characters like the basement ghosts and the headless guy, who’s rarely seen and almost never heard.”
