How did you react whenever you discovered Ghosts was going to host a 4/20 episode?
Sheila Carrasco: I feel we had been all a little bit pleasantly shocked as a result of it’s such a enjoyable vacation episode that not everybody thinks to do, not to mention an enormous community like CBS, however what higher character in a present to make it a pure vacation at Woodstone than Flower? So I used to be excited and in addition to see how Richie Moriarty was going to play Pete Stoned. He’s such an superior, versatile actor, and there have been so many various instructions he might go together with it. I feel he did a very genuine tackle what Pete could be like.
Do you assume there’s room for extra shenanigans with Gabe now that he’s a residing stoner who can influence the opposite spirits at Woodstone?
Completely. It’s completely been one thing we’ve been speaking about for enjoyable on set, particularly with Flower. What does it imply if Flower walks by way of Gabe? Gabe is a good character, and I’m simply so glad that there’s another person on the property who’s additionally beneath that sort of affect and a real stoner. He celebrates 4/20 day by day, so today isn’t actually that totally different, however it’s like Christmas for Flower and Gabe. It’s a very enjoyable power. Dustin Ybarra, who performs Gabe, is implausible to play with. He hasn’t gotten to do an excessive amount of but, however you possibly can inform there’s simply a number of comedy there for us to mine. So I feel there’s going to be much more sooner or later for Flower and Gabe.
If Flower walked by way of Gabe she may really kill him since he’s already so excessive.

Yeah. Additionally, Flower’s not simply on weed. That’s the opposite factor we’ve got to recollect. There’s different stuff happening for her, and so I feel you is perhaps proper, she may simply blow Gabe’s thoughts if she had been to stroll by way of him.
How was it being a information for Pete at this significant second in his ghost life?
At first, Flower is simply completely satisfied for anybody in the event that they get to really feel good, whether or not it has to do together with her or not. I feel she’s simply thrilled that Pete will get to expertise this, and I feel she most likely forgets that for some individuals it may be actually anxiety-inducing to comprehend you’re excessive. At first she’s extraordinarily thrilled that, after which it’s like, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, sit back. That is solely a very good factor. You’re a ghost. Nothing dangerous’s going to occur.” After which she realized she had a possibility to essentially step in there and assist him calm his nerves and middle himself and simply dwell a little bit. I feel she would like to be that information for the entire different ghosts at Woodstone. I don’t know that any of them would let her. She’s a hippie, so she loves a very good grasp, however I additionally assume that a part of the tradition of smoking weed is sitting round and doing nothing and never worrying about something. And so I feel that it’s lastly an opportunity for her to let individuals into her world.
Flower’s encouragement of Pete results in a little bit second between him and Alberta. How would she really feel to know she’s had a hand in sparking this potential romance?
Flower could be so extremely ecstatic in a bizarre approach. I’d be like, “Oh, my brother and sister are getting collectively, but in addition all of us get to have each Christmas collectively.” We’re all getting nearer. That’s what she needs. And so I feel it’s going to shock Flower as a lot as anybody, although I don’t assume Flower would’ve seen it coming both. And I feel it’s so hilarious that Pete, being a little bit little bit of a foul boy, is what tempts our housemate.
Is there any stage of disappointment for Flower that she will’t get any greater?
I feel that she died proper at a peak for her, so I don’t know that she ever seems like she must get greater. I feel perhaps her nervousness could be about it lasting, and that most likely has to do together with her forgetting that she’s really going to be in the identical state perpetually. I feel she battles a lot with actually attempting to hold on to lucidity that she’s probably not involved with the alternative downside. I feel for Flower, she’s going to go on a journey of actually attempting to recollect higher with a view to develop and to do proper by her housemates and every little thing.
