Brandon Scott Jones, who plays the lovable yet hilariously clueless ghost Trevor Williams on CBS’s hit sitcom Ghosts, recently addressed fan concerns following the season 3 finale.
The finale left viewers with a major cliffhanger: Trevor seemed ready to move on, signaling a potential departure from the cozy mansion he shares with his fellow ghosts and the living couple who now reside there. Fans took to social media, expressing worry about losing a character so integral to the show’s unique dynamics and humor.
Jones, known for his playful interaction with fans online, decided to tackle these concerns head-on. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, he acknowledged both the fans’ fears and the writers’ need to explore new creative avenues. “I understand why people are worried,” Jones said, “Trevor has been such a core part of the show from day one. He brings this wonderful energy, this innocence that balances out all the more eccentric ghosts.”
He went on to emphasize that while Trevor’s potential departure was certainly impactful, it wouldn’t necessarily mean goodbye forever. “The beauty of Ghosts,” Jones explained, “is its ability to surprise us. The writers are so clever at weaving in these unexpected turns while staying true to the heart of the characters. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trevor’s journey takes some unexpected twists and turns.”
He also highlighted a key aspect of the show’s appeal: its focus on empathy and growth, both for the ghosts and the living family encountering them. “This isn’t just about laughs,” Jones stated. “Ghosts explores themes of loss, acceptance, and finding new connections. Trevor’s journey could be an opportunity to delve deeper into these complexities.”
Jones’ thoughtful response has certainly helped quell fan anxieties while leaving room for exciting possibilities in the upcoming season of Ghosts. Will Trevor truly move on? What challenges await him in the afterlife?
And where does this leave Samantha and Jay as they navigate their life together with a constantly evolving group of resident ghosts? We’ll have to tune into season 4 to find out!
