Ghosts’ Rose McIver Reveals Pregnancy at Golden Globe Awards
A Ghosts star is in the family way: Rose McIver revealed that she’s pregnant at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night, where she walked the red carpet while cradling a baby bump.
McIver — whose character Samantha can see the undead on the aforementioned hit CBS comedy — is married to Australian artist George Byrne; they wed in January 2023.
TVLine has reached out to reps for McIver and Ghosts for confirmation. It’s currently not clear if the pregnancy will be incorporated into the show.
Ghosts is experiencing something of a baby boom: McIver’s co-star Sheila Carrasco, who plays hippie Flower, welcomed a daughter in December 2023, the actress announced on Instagram. It’s also unknown if Carrasco’s role will be impacted in the upcoming third season.
“Pretty indescribable. Little Miri is the love of our life,” Carrasco wrote at the time, alongside a photo of herself and her newborn baby girl. “Thank you to all of our family and friends for the epic love and support this week- it means the world to us, we love you!”
Meanwhile, Devan Chandler Long (aka Viking Thorfinn) shared on Instagram around Thanksgiving that he and his wife are expecting a baby.
“wait for it… wait for it……We got a Turkey in the oven!!! Happy Turkey Day from our growing fam to yours,” Long wrote.
Ghosts returns for Season 3 on Thursday, Feb. 15 at 8:30/7:30c. In the season premiere, “Sam, Jay and the remaining ghosts unravel the mystery of which ghost passed into the afterlife,” reads the official synopsis. “Also, Sam and Jay must relocate an owl in order to do construction on the barn to turn it into Jay’s restaurant.”
Ghosts fans, would you like Sam and Jay to also have a bun in the oven? Hit the comments with your thoughts and congrats!
I was sad the Uk version ended with the baby. With children being able to see ghosts this present a fun new storyline angle to pursue
It’s always a little surprising to hear her real accent.
Please please please no! I hate baby storylines!
The pregnancy should definitely be incorporated into the show.
I think it’s probably a little early in the show’s run to bring in a baby storyline, and the show could probably find ways to work around the pregnancy. But if they were to incorporate it, it would also be interesting to see how the ghosts would react to the whole concept :p.
.
Either way, congrats to Rose! So many babies within that cast lately :D.
Samantha’s baby would have to be named Tabitha, especially if she can see the ghosts.
Can you imagine the babies on that set? That will be the most adorable cast daycare.
Not sure I would want a baby to be written into the script. But I’m really happy that everyone is having a baby! So good that women can feel like they can have children and still work and not feel like they have to give up their career. Congrats to the growing Ghosts family!
I think the timing might them not add it to the show. She’s likely due after they wrap, and they have been filming for awhile, and probably the lower episode count makes it unlikely. But it could be a unique twist for the end of the season. What would the ghosts think? But it might be a little early to add a baby, even if they do the Big Bang Theory way, and not see the baby LOL. Or the ghosts could do a little baby sitting. The baby could see the ghosts. Making his/her father even more a oddity in the family LOL. Being the one who doesn’t. But something tells me they won’t.
One of the Ghosts got sucked off? Permanently? Not a fan of that for sure!! Also, I’d rather not bring a baby to the show. I really like the show as it is.
Yes, Definitely add the baby! I’ve been waiting on that since the very beginning.
Yes, the baby should be written into the script and thus starting Jay. & Sam’s family and future heirs to the mansion.
No thanks, in so many cases, adding a baby is the beginning of the end for a series. Congrats to Rose, enjoy that new little one, but please don’t add a kid to the show.
I think it would be fun for Sam & Jay to have a baby! But it might be a little too soon.Maybe next year😍
