__TOC__
== Personality ==
Despite his tragic death, Joey has a charismatic and playful personality, often flirting with female ghosts and calling his partner, Rosangela, "sweetheart." He is also a bit of a playboy, taking a particular interest in a ghost named Monique. However, he is also respectful and caring when it matters most, and is always willing to put himself in danger to help others.
== Abilities and weaknesses ==
As a ghost, Joey is able to go anywhere his partner can't and is invisible to most people. He often uses this to his advantage during investigations, but he is also out of touch with modern technology and struggles to understand it. He is also a bit of a fish out of water, having spent several decades stuck in a hospital with Patricia and Lauren.
== Relationships ==
Joey has a strong bond with Rosangela, who could be his granddaughter. The two often snark at each other, but their friendship is like family. Despite the hardships he has faced, Joey is always optimistic and determined to help others. In the end, Rosangela sacrifices herself to give Joey a new body and a second chance at life, but he loses his ability to see ghosts.
