Ghosts’ finale might have made us “slightly mad,” as Asher Grodman guessed, as a result of Jay made a take care of the satan (I imply, Elias). Nevertheless, it additionally ended on an equally excessive be aware, as Pete and Alberta kissed! Sure, after seasons of Richie Moriarty’s character pining and Danielle Pinnock’s character beginning to possibly fall for him, the 2 formally acted on their emotions.
Now, as we marvel what’s subsequent for these two ghosts, the comedy’s showrunners are opening up about why they ended Season 4 with Pete and Alberta’s romantic second and the stakes it places in place going ahead.
Why Season 4 Of Ghosts Ended With Pete And Alberta Kissing
For seasons, Pete has been craving for Alberta, nevertheless, he received a girlfriend as soon as he found his energy to transcend the boundary. In the meantime, within the season that simply aired on the 2025 TV schedule, Alberta lastly realized she had been repressing her emotions for Pete. Clearly, all that timing was lower than supreme.
Nevertheless, when Pete heard Alberta’s confession, he instantly broke issues off with Donna earlier than coming again to admit his emotions (and never face-palm Alberta). That second closed out the season, and showrunner Joe Wiseman defined why to TV Line:
Properly, it’s an enormous second for the collection. Since Season 1, Pete has expressed his affection for her, and we’ve type of been doing this sluggish burn and slowly chipping away at Alberta’s reluctance, and so, it felt like time. It simply felt like, ‘Let’s get them collectively.’
This has been a very long time coming, and we’ve gone via waves of pining over the past 4 years. Then, this season, the tide turned, and Alberta realized she had emotions for Pete.
To that time, showrunner Joe Port defined that after years of those two lacking their moments, it was the precise time for them to behave. So, lastly, they’re on the identical web page, and it made for a good way to finish the season:
I feel they each had moments of being into it and never being into it, and we lastly discovered a window the place they have been each open to like and seeing the chances, and we’re excited to discover that dynamic between them.
Finally, this second was a cheerful cliffhanger to go away the season on, particularly because it juxtaposes the deadlier one involving Jay and Elias. We’re left with questions on how Pete and Alberta can be collectively and the way their romance will develop in the home. And clearly, since they’re each caught in the identical place, so much is driving on what they do subsequent.
Why There’s ‘A Lot Driving’ On Pete And Alberta’s Relationship Going Into Season 5
There actually is “so much driving” on this relationship, as Port went on to elucidate. When requested about what makes Pete and Alberta’s relationship totally different from the opposite in-house romances (like Flower and Thor or Isaac and Nigel), he famous that each these ghosts have turbulent romantic histories, so the stakes are excessive right here. Puls, they’re each caught in the identical home for eternity, as he mentioned:
These are two folks for whom the stakes are very excessive, as a result of they each have been harm so much previously and had powerful romantic conditions. So for them to take this leap collectively requires a variety of religion on each their components, and there’s so much driving on it if it doesn’t go effectively. They’re trapped on this home collectively — Properly, I suppose Pete can go away. [Laughs] However for all intents and functions, they’re caught collectively. So there’s so much driving on it.
Except one in every of them will get sucked off, they are surely each caught there. Whereas Pete can go away, he disappears if he’s gone for too lengthy, so he all the time has to return again. They’re additionally each fairly younger ghosts, so the chance of them passing on feels low since they nonetheless have connections to the dwelling. Due to this fact, they will’t escape one another if this romance goes south.
On high of that, they’ve every had their very own troubles with love, and so they deserve a wholesome and thrilling romance. Hopefully, this may be that for each Pete and Alberta, however solely time will inform. Fortunately, Ghosts will return subsequent fall for Season 5, so we received’t have to attend too lengthy to see how this relationship develops from mates to one thing a lot extra.
