A brand-newGhostsseason 4 trailer reveals the first proper look at Sam’s dad, played by Dean Norris. First announced during the show’s San Diego Comic-Con 2024 panel, the arrival of Frank is the show’s attempt to explore the other relationships that Sam and Jay have beyond their current dynamic with the spirits in theWoodstone Mansion. Not much is known about Norris' Frank thus far, only that he has been an absentee father towards Sam, which will likely result in some awkward moments as they reunite inGhostsseason 4.
Shared byCBS TVon Instagram is a new trailer forGhostsseason 4, which features a fresh look at Norris' Frank, and he looks horrified. The newGhostsseason 4 trailer teases its biggest storylines. It reveals a funconversation that turns creepy between Isaac and Patience, as well as Jay digging a hole in the yard while the spirits watch. Most interestingly, Norris' Frank appears to be woken up by something scary, prompting him to scream in his bedroom at the Woodstone Mansion.
Frank’s Arrival Allows Ghosts To Revisit Sam’s Heritage
The marketing forGhostsseason 4has been focused on the arrival of Patience, and understandably so, considering that the season 3 finale cliffhanger ended with Isaac getting abducted by his nemesis. Aside from that, other upcoming storylines have been teased at length, mainly arcs that involve Jay. That includes the introduction of his and Bela’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arondekar, as well as Jay himself finally seeing the spirits. Amid all of these big changes for other cast members, however,Frank’s introduction is an exciting step in Sam’s arc.
While Jay’s sister, Bela, has been a regular presence in Woodstone, viewers know virtually nothing about Sam’s lineage.
It has been two seasons sinceGhostsexplored Sam’s family background. While Jay’s sister, Bela, has been a regular presence in Woodstone, viewers know virtually nothing about Sam’s lineage.Ghostsseason 1 established thatshe had a rough relationship with her mother. However, after a rushed reconciliation, the late Sheryl was eventually sucked off, never to be featured in the CBS series again. Sam and her mom never had a deep conversation about her dad, leaving the writers ofGhostsseason 4 a bigger creative room to craft Frank the way they see fit.
It’s The Perfect Time To Learn More About Sam’s Family
Norris' introduction as Frank is one of the many things that I’m excited about inGhostsseason 4. Admittedly, this particular plot point has not been truly focused on, considering everything else that is expected to happen in the upcoming year. That said, the CBS comedy mustn’t forget todevelop Sam’s character arc separate from her relationship with Jay and the spirits.
Norris will only be a guest star as Frank inGhostsseason 4, but hopefully, this is not a one-time appearance, just like the show did with Rachael Harris' Sheryl. Since he’s alive when he visits his daughter, it’s best that he doesn’t join thespirits of Woodstone Mansionand also pass away in the manor
