Ghost Whisperer Season 4 Episode 9
Ghost Whisperer Season 4 Episode 9 “Pieces Of You” Preview
Melinda passes through a very difficult period, being hard tried by contradictory feelings. A new episode is just around the corner. Tonight, in “Pieces Of You” she tracks down a girl who has been missing for 12 years and discovers a long held secret.
The drastic change that occurred in Melinda’s life let fans wondering if Jim (David Conrad) is really leaving “Ghost Whisperer”. Now, that we have an answer to this tormenting question, let’s see what David Conrad and the show’s executive producer, P.K. Simonds, said in a recent interview about the series’ current and upcoming changes.
“We’ll always be seeing David from Melinda’s side, so what you’re sort of saying to the audience is that it’s still Jim’s soul – it still, in every sense is Jim and that’s who we want to see. We’re interested in seeing the soul of Jim and obviously the real reason we’re interested in that is because we have David and he’s an amazing actor.
One of the things that excited us about doing this story in the first place is that we knew we had an actor who could do a lot more than frankly we were asking him to do – and he’s been doing an amazing, amazing job of filling out this new role – which we’re really excited for the audience to see.”,
Simonds declared.
David Conrad was rather surprised when he was told about the plans for his character. “My first reaction was kind of like something out of “Prizzi’s Honor” or “Goodfellas”, where they walk up to you and they’re like… ‘Yeah, you’re gonna end up here for a while’. I was pretty sure that they were very nicely saying ‘You’re done, you’re off the show.’, but P.K. in a very polite, very reassuring way said: ‘I have this great plan…’ At first I was like… ‘Oh, c’mon…’, but then I was just like… Great!!!” he said.
Conrad’s message to disbelieving fans is this: “I mean… what they’ll do is they’ll say that and then they’ll watch it and realize that I am there most of the time. As P.K. said, I am still there 90 percent of the time.” and then he added…
“I think the only thing that’s gone is the memory. I think actually it’s an exciting development because instead of going through the same kind of trope that we usually do, it’s like a prequel. You’ll get to see them date, flirt, and fall back in love again… and that’s thrilling. Maybe that’s what’s at the heart of what makes them so exciting – that chemistry between them.”
“We want to remind you that people in the show see him differently when they look at him. But aside from reminding them that – since it really is Jim’s soul, we want to remind the audience of that and focus on that. He’s the same character”, declared Simonds.
As for those who aren’t really pleased with how the storyline is going, the “Ghost Whisperer” writers have plans to resolve the issue sometime soon.
“We’ve plotted it out through the end of the season, so we know where we’re going to go. We don’t want it to last forever… and really what we’re interested in is a journey. You’ve got these two characters, who, as David pointed out… it was always our intention to do kind of an emotional prequel because now we get to see what may have played out at the beginning of their relationship”, the executive producer said.
We just have to think about Jim’s character and his sudden involvement in the supernatural element of the plot. David offers his point of view: “I knew it all along in some way. I thought at some point it would be very logical for my character to be tied into that aspect of the storytelling. I kind of looked forward to it. I’d have to say that Jim probably looked forward to it because, since the pilot, he’s always asked the question, ‘What’s on the other side?’ ”
Below you can watch a shattering, unforgettable scene…
