Ghosts Casts Lamorne Morris as Spirit Who Sparks With [Spoiler] (Exclusive)
Ghosts is welcoming a new spirit to possibly romance one of Woodstone Mansion’s regulars.
Speaking to TVLine, showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman revealed that the hit CBS comedy will continue to play with the rules of the afterlife.
“Later on in the season, we’re going to meet a new type of ghost that is able to visit Woodstone in a unique way,” Wiseman previewed.
Now, TVLine can exclusively reveal that New Girl vet Lamorne Morris will guest-star in Episode 7 as Saul, a poltergeist that spends eternity tethered to a living human. And while stopping by the B&B, Saul hits it off with Prohibition-era singer Alberta (played by Danielle Pinnock).
This isn’t the first time that a new ghost has come to Woodstone B&B and sparked with one of the show’s beloved main characters: Last season, Superstore alumna Nichole Sakura appeared in multiple episodes as Jessica, a spirit who was tethered to a car belonging to Sam and Jay’s new assistant. She and Sasappis had shared a brief romance, but ultimately ended things when they realized their circumstances — she loved the open road of being a car ghost, while he was tied to the Woodstone property — made a relationship difficult.
Morris is best known for playing New Girl roommate Winston Bishop on the Fox sitcom. His other TV credits include the most recent season of FX’s Fargo and the Hulu comedy Woke.
Ghosts airs Thursdays at 8:30/7:30c on CBS; Morris’ episode does not yet have a confirmed airdate.
Are you excited to see the sparks between Morris’ character and Alberta? Hit the comments!
Winston!!! Oh, I have missed him. Can’t wait to see him as a Ghost.
OMG!!! I LOVE the idea of a ghost tethered to a human who is visiting the B&B…..as long as the writers only do this occasionally!!! It should be rare. But once or twice a season…yes please!
I wonder what time period he’ll be from. Maybe he’ll just be a “modern” ghost, but they seem to prefer picking distinctive historical archetypes.
–
I could picture him being a deceased 1960s Civil Rights activist haunting a living racist. That seems like something the writers would enjoy.
I wonder if he can be tied to a human? I am thinking he’ll be tied to a piece of Jewelry or something physical. And if they want him to stick around Sam just needs to “acquire” the jewelry piece.
I am thinking maybe he was an organ donor and he is tied to recipient?
I love how the ghost parameters continue to evolve
“ Either way it’s gonna be a wild night!” Alberta’s line from the episode “The Liquor License.” I’m still rooting for Pete and Alberta to “there’s some movement in that direction,” Pete in Woodstone’s Hottest Couple episode when Stephanie wakes up to find most her friends paired off. Alberta just wants to stay friends with Pete. While into bad boys she honestly wishes for a guy like Pete, I don’t think Alberta is ready to change her love life that drastically yet, so excited to see where meeting Saul can go…
NO!! Enough big changes to the cast this season. You write stories that endear us to each character. Please don’t keep twisting the plots.

We’re still mourning Flower’s absence. Can’t get excited about a new character yet
Love it..The show is awesome and I’m faithfully watching it..Thanks for it !!
The rule is that ghosts are bound to the location they died. The show has been able to play with that by killing a ghost in a car so the ghost is bound to the car. Unless they break that well established rule then I can only surmise that this ghost died on top of another person. Maybe he was shielding this person with his body and since he died on top of this person he is tethered to that person for eternity. That would bring up other questions though. That person won’t live forever so will the ghost automatically follow them wherever they end up in the afterlife? Will that ghost be tethered to their grave after they die? Anyway, it sounds interesting but extremely predictable that the ghost would spark with Berta. I would also like for Pete to move on. Berta has no romantic interest in Pete so it’s depressing for him to pine over her for eternity.
The description states outright that he is a new type of ghost (a poltergeist) who follows a different set of rules.
Why are you calling her Berta? Are you besties, or something? Her name is Alberta.
Sounds like an intriguing setup – looking forward to this, and seeing his character :D!
I think it’s great!! I hope the barn gets finished so more characters can be introduced. Maybe Jason Mamoa since Alberta loves him…lol.
And I hope Flower comes back
The show is great!, buut, there’s been more mention of being ‘sucked off’ and it’s disappointing… maybe another phrase can be used?
It’s just somewhat naughty light humor, especially since the older ghosts don’t know its alternate meaning. Trevor does and doesn’t want Sam to enlighten them, because he gets a laugh every time they say it. That plays into his juvenile sense of humor.
No. You got rid of the sweet innocence of flower for some sad angry jealous 3 way ghost love pursuit.
I wonder when they’ll introduce a new ghost by having someone die at Woodstone?
They just did last week. Pete’s ex-wife Carole died in the kitchen and is now a ghost there.
As I understand it, a poltergeist is a ‘mischievous’ ghost. One site even says that they do a lot of rapping as in making noise. But hey no reason Alberta and Saul wouldn’t drop a beat or spit some rhymes. What rings the loudest bell for me is that the living that Saul is tethered to is not described at all. That could mean nothing or that could be very important. So important that they wanna keep it under wraps for a big reveal. It’s fun to imagine the set up. Will it be a one and done or will the mystery living become a Woodstone resident? Knowing is at least a month away so stayed tuned.
Maybe the living will be working at the restaurant? And will become sort of a regular.
Love the show and the idea of the new ghost. Will be watching.
It will be fun to see Alberta get a potential love interest that visits several times a year. Welcome Saul! Being a poltergeist tethered to a living sounds as though he may not be a permanent cast member. That would be unfortunate.
