The latest update from TVLine suggests that Samantha may not be as singular as first thought, as Superstore vet Ben Feldman joins the series. He’ll play Kyle, who can also see and talk to spirits. Feldman will make his first appearance in the May 1 episode, titled “Kyle,” which airs at 8:30 PM ET on CBS. In the photo, included below, the new arrival is seen with a smiling Pete (Richie Moriarty).
What This Means For Ghosts
Trouble In Paradise
The official description teases that Sam and Jay’s relationship will be tested when Kyle arrives at the central Woodstone B&B. It’s unclear how Kyle gained his abilities and whether, like Sam, it involved a threat to his well-being, but his presence causes trouble for the show’s central duo. That could be because Sam and Kyle bond over all they have in common, leaving Jay to feel a bit left out, but there is a more interesting route that showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman could take.
Feldman is the fourth Superstore alum to appear on Ghosts, following Nichole Sakura, Kaliko Kauahi, and Irene White. He’s a familiar face to sitcom fans that’s known for his performance as Jonah Simms opposite America Ferrera’s Amy Sosa, his inclusion in the Ghosts cast could signal to Sam and Jay that there’s another way they could have lived their lives and that shifting to accommodate the spirits isn’t the only path they could have taken.
