As it turns out,
Ghost Whisperer is indeed going ahead with its plan to jump five years
into the future a la Desperate Housewives. Camryn Manheim, who plays
Delia Banks on the CBS series, says the upcoming season as "scary."
"There's another underlining darkness to it," says Manheim, adding that
Melinda's (Jennifer Love-Hewitt) baby will indeed have some powers, but
the Ghost Whisperer showrunners are still figuring out what he can and
cannot do. "Where Melinda has embraced her powers fully for herself, she
hasn't embraced it in this situation and it's very complex and
complicated."
What does the five-year jump mean for Delia? For starters, her teenage
son Ned (Christoph Sanders) will be in college, while her character is
dating and back to real estate. "It's nice baecuase we get to reinvent
it again.
As for Hewitt, she said it's "definitely fun" to play new mother because
as a mom, she can be a little bit feisty.
After the jump, her baby will be at least four years old, old enough to
do things other than cry and ask for milk. It was also previously
revealed that the child "holds so much promise" - perhaps even more than
his mom. In fact, an impending battle between good and evil might be
resolved by the baby as "the key." |
