Rose McIver Just Named Her Ultimate Dream Guest Stars—And Fans of ‘Ghosts’ Are Losing It!

Ghosts tv show 0

Ghosts has a fairly expansive cast with ten main players in the weekly ensemble and a growing Rolodex of regular guest stars that features comedy icons like Punam Patel as Jay’s (Utkarsh Ambudkar) sister Bela, Caroline Aaron as Pete’s (Richie Moriarty) ex-wife Carol, and Tristan D. Lalla as everyone’s favorite contractor/Hudson Valley player Mark. We’ve been seeing more and more of these friendly faces in Season 4, so when I sat down with series star Rose McIver to discuss her directorial debut on the series, I had to know if she had anyone in mind as a dream guest star for Ghosts. Offering up my own answer, I suggested the legendary Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek) as a Gilded Age-era Farnsby, to which McIver happily agreed, saying, “Oh, that’s brilliant! You should work in casting. That’s so good. She’d be brilliant in that. Now that you say that, she’s definitely a choice.”

McIver’s full answer will no doubt thrill fans of her work as she immediately named a handful of amazing talents from her previous series iZombie, noting that she’s been trying to get them on the show for some time.

“I guess the one that’s been top of mind for me is bringing any of my iZombie cast to visit. I would be so excited to have Rahul [Kohli], or Malcolm [Goodwin], or Aly [Michalka], or [Robert] Buckley or, [David] Anders, or Bryce [Hodgson]. They would be fantastic to have in the show. I know that they’re comedic weapons. I know that they are incredible to work with and, yeah, I’ve been angling for that for a long time. So hopefully something comes of it.”

Matt Walsh and Odessa A’Zion Return in Season 4 of ‘Ghosts’

While it may be a while before McIver actually manages to get her iZombie cohorts on Ghosts in the remaining episodes of Season 4 we can still expect to see some familiar faces. Next week, Hetty’s hellish ex-husband Elias (Matt Walsh) returns and McIver recently posted an Instagram story teasing the return of everyone’s favorite mean girl, Odessa A’Zion‘s attic ghost, Stephanie. Teasing the return of these two spirits, McIver also revealed that A’Zion’s sister, Gideon Adlon, will have a guest role in an upcoming episode.

“Matt Walsh never brings an easy— I mean. Matt Walsh brings the easiest [energy], right?He’s so wonderful to work with. But, Elias does not bode well for the house in general, as we’ve come to realize. So him returning is not— he’s not the ideal guest at the B&B. And, then yeah, we have Odessa back, who brings such a fresh teenage energy. She’s so funny. We love having her. And we actually have her sister Gideon not playing a related role, but playing a completely separate role in another episode. So, that’s pretty cool.”

New episodes of Ghosts air every Thursday on CBS at 8:30 PM ET. You can watch previous episodes on Paramount+. Stay tuned at Collider for more from our chat with McIver.
