It looks like love is in the air forGhostsSeason 4. This weekend atSan Diego Comic-Con, theGhostscast discussed with Collider’sPerri Nemiroffthe romantic possibilities for the CBS series’ upcoming season – focusing on the possibilities for one ghost in particular. “Sasappisis going to be really excited to dive more into romantic relationships and see that vulnerable side of him,” said actorRomán Zaragoza, commenting on his character and everyone’s favorite snarky Lenape ghost. “I think he’s suppressed it for so long, and has come out in the last few years in these seasons, and we’re just going to see him grow through that.”
Ghostsfollows a couple attempting to run their own bed-and-breakfast in the oldWoodstone Mansionin upstate New York. One half of this couple,Sam Arondekar, finds herself able to see themany ghostly residentswho have accumulated within the mansion over the years. These ghosts, although long-dead, continue to have many revelations about their life and current existence throughout the show – including Sasappis, whose character description for Season 4 foreshadows his hitting a “midlife crisis” in his afterlife.
“I think he’s coming to grips with the fact that he hasn’t been living,” said Zaragoza. “Even in his death, he wasn’t even living. He was just commenting, he was judging, when in reality, he’s just been suppressing who he is….so now he’s putting himself out there to get hurt, but that takes bravery and courage, so I’m proud of him.”
“I hope you don’t lose your snark, though, because you do it so well,” commentedRebecca Wisocky, the actress behind the unforgettable Victorian ghostHetty. “Oh, no. He ain’t losin’ that,” replied Zaragoza dryly.
The Romantic History of Sasappis
Sasappis may be just coming around to vulnerability. But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had his own moments of romance.Ghostsfans will remember his longtime crush onShiki, a fellow Lenape ghost who currently haunts theUlster County Reviewbuilding. In Season 2, Sasappis also had a memorable fling withJessica, a ‘car’ ghost who occupied the vehicle of Sam and Jay’s short-lived assistant.
Fans wanting to know who and what comes next for Sasappis’ love life may have to wait untilSeason 4 premieres on October 17. But in the meantime, the show’s cast has some outlandish guesses of their own. “Do you think Sas and Pete might find love with each other?” wondered actorRichie Moriarty, referencing his characterPete Martino. “I think Sas and Pete are going tomake out,” replied Zaragoza gleefully. “Fans are screaming for it,” commented Moriarty.
