Lucy

**"Lucy"** is a recurring character in Series 3 of *Ghosts*. She first appears in A Lot to Take In when she arrives at Button House, claiming to be Alison Cooper's half-sister, having recognised the photograph of Alison's father from her TV interview in The Bone Plot.

## Biography

Lucy is first introduced in A Lot To Take In when she arrives at Button House on Mike's first day of work, quickly introducing herself as Alison's half sister. Although both Fanny and Julian immediately suspect her of being a confidence trickster, Alison is overjoyed to discover she has a living relative, only realising the implications in I Love Lucy when her solicitor points out that an older half-sister may have a prior claim to inherit Button House.

Eventually Lucy puts Alison's mind at rest by explaining that she has no wish to take the house away from her, but in Part Of The Family she turns up, claiming to have lost her savings to a romance scam. Alison and Mike agree to loan her some of their savings, but her story begin to unravel when The Captain recognises that the background of Lucy's photograph of her father is not where she says it is. Julian explains how photographs can be faked, and Fanny realises that the image of Lucy's "father" is an exact mirror image of the one Alison had shown on TV.

The ghosts manage to alert Alison to the deception and she and Mike confront her with the evidence. Realising she has been rumbled, she leaves, telling Alison not to take her deception personally, and that she’s not her first victim. However, Alison and Mike have Lucy’s bank account, a photo of her, and her name (as mentioned by Alison, this could possibly not be her real name, but it doesn’t matter). Alison and Mike contact the police, and presumably with all the evidence, Lucy would have been arrested.
Pinkus

**Pinkus** (first name unknown) was an intern at the stockbroking place where Trevor Lefkowitz worked. He became friends with Trevor, Ari and Chet once he'd been promoted.

## Biography

### Life

Pinkus was born at some point in the 1970s and was in his twenties at the time Trevor died. He was an intern at Trevor's stockbroking place and routinely got Trevor and his friends their drinks. One day, his coworkers told him that he got promoted and they were going to celebrate it, to his great joy. That night, he’d been convinced by Ari and the others that he needed to run all the way back to the city in only his undershirt and he was about to do this when Trevor pulled him aside and gave him his own trousers and boxers so Pinkus could get a taxi back to the city and pretend he’d ran all the way.

Pinkus thanked Trevor gratefully and questioned how he was going to explain being pantsless. Trevor stated he would lie that he slept with the limo driver then left to announce this, as the grateful Pinkus took his leave. Shortly afterward, Trevor died of a heart attack induced by an overdose of drugs and alcohol. It is unlikely Pinkus stayed in touch with the others after this because he was not there at the time Trevor died.
En Francais

**En Francais** is the fourth episode of Series 5 of *Ghosts* and the 31st episode overall.

## Plot

The ghosts are officially bored, and Pat comes up with new entertainment for the gang. Mike and Alison host their international buyer at Button House in order to confirm the land sale, but Mike’s antics threaten the whole deal – can he pull it back in time? Humphrey is offered a fresh perspective on his strained marriage and finally learns some French, with a little help from a most unexpected source.
The Bone Plot

**The Bone Plot** is the first episode of Series 3 of *Ghosts* and the 14th episode overall. It premiered on 9 August 2021.

## Plot

A TV crew visit Button House to make a documentary about its most notorious former resident, Sir Humphrey Bone, and his supposed part in a Catholic plot against Queen Elizabeth I - prompting Humphrey to tell his fellow ghosts the *real* story of what happened to him.

Barclay Beg-Chetwynde attempts to muscle in on the documentary but is showing signs of a potential heart attack, worrying Julian who fears Barclay will die in Button House and the ghosts will be stuck with him.

Meanwhile Mike has some ideas for promoting the house, and Pat wonders whether Fanny and The Captain ever laugh.

## Historical notes

* While the Bone Plot never truly existed, nor did Sir Humphrey Bone himself, it can be assumed that his story is based on the Babington plot of 1586. This was a plot to kill the protestant Queen Elizabeth I and instate her catholic cousin, Mary Queen of Scotts, on the english throne in her place.

## Trivia

* While fans had long assumed that Alison's parents were dead (since she inherited Button House directly), this episode is the first to actually confirm it when Alison explains that her father died when she was young, and her mother "more recently". This becomes an important plot point in subsequent episodes.
* The episode also addresses another issue which had led to much fan speculation ever since the show began: the fact that despite being beheaded, Humphrey's body is still in full dress, which would not have happened at an Elizabethan execution. The question of whether Humphrey lost his head some other way, or the writers were simply using artistic licence, is finally answered with his accidental decapitation.
* This is also the first episode in which Humphrey's surname is used, it having never been revealed in the first two series.
* The COVID-19 pandemic is never specifically referenced throughout the whole of season 3, though the fact that they are not taking wedding bookings despite a successful launch at the end of season two (together with other hints, such as the fact that Mike takes a proper job but works from home in subsequent episodes) suggests that the pandemic *is* taking place in the show's world, it just isn't being mentioned.
* The guards who enter the house looking for Humphrey are played by Ben Ashenden and Alexander Owen, who are otherwise known as comedy double act **The Pin**.

Debbie & Tom

**Debbie** and **Tom** are the first official guests at the Woodstone B&B. They only appear in the episode Spies in the CBS Series.

## Biography

Debbie and Tom are from the midwest as noted by Pete. They were secretly judging Sam and Jay Arondekar as business owners and their B&B. After Pete tells Sam that they were faking being nice, they looked up their Yelp profile.

They are vicious reviewers. One review read "The only thing worse than the day-old bread at Linda's Shrimp Shack was the foul smell coming from the kitchen. Steer clear. One star." The ghosts start telling Sam what they were saying about them behind their backs.

Together Debbie and Tom complained about thin sheets, thin toilet paper, and hard towels. The ghosts heard this so Sam could remedy it. Tom said that he'd rather sleep on his boat tarp rather then those sheets. Debbie got worked up over the toilet paper. Tom didn't like the salt on top of Jay's cookies and Debbie said there was too many chocolate chips.

Debbie thought that Sam is too chatty. Some other criticism thrown at Sam include: the way she slouches, they do not like the play list, they think Sam hovers, her voice is too high, and the pattern in her grandmother's butter dish is satanic. Debbie didn't like Sam's perfume and thought her sweater made her look washed out.

Jay tells them off for all of the things that they were saying, explaining that they had thin walls. Tom and Debbie then panic realizing that they said mean things about everyone including Debbie's sister. They thought that their reviews were anonymous.

It's later explained that someone hacked their account and they leave a positive review about the Woodstone B&B.

## Trivia

* She is technically the third guest to stay at the B&B. The first was Todd Pearlman before it was officially opened. Josh and Leann, the guests from Farnsby & B, ended up leaving after the floor caved in.
* Sas guesses that they are about 60 years old.
* Tom says that he has a boat.
* Debbie has a sister, Linda, that owns the shrimp shack that they tore apart in a review.
Michael Fenton Stevens

**Michael Fenton Stevens** (born 12 February 1958) is an English actor and comedian. He is best known for being a founder member of The Hee Bee Gee Bees and the voice behind the *Spitting Image* 1986 number 1 hit "The Chicken Song". He also starred in *KYTV*, its Radio 4 predecessor, *Radio Active*, *Benidorm*, and as an anchor on *3rd & Bird* on CBeebies.
Alberta's Fan

**Alberta's Fan** is the ninth episode of Season 1 in the American sitcom *Ghosts* and the 9th episode overall. It premiered on December 2, 2021.

## Plot

Alberta is thrilled when a super-fan visits the mansion. She gets creeped out when she learns that he seems to be obsessed with her.

Meanwhile Thor convinces Hetty to go on a walk that would hopefully spark a special memory. Turns out when she was very young Hetty could see Thor as a ghost. He would sing her to sleep but she later forgets. Later Hetty and Thor talk about what happened and become better friends.

## Quotes

**Alberta**: Let's go, Sam! We don't have all day!

## Cast

### Main cast

* Rose McIver as Samantha Arondekar
* Utkarsh Ambudkar as Jay Arondekar
* Brandon Scott Jones as Isaac
* Danielle Pinnock as Alberta
* Richie Moriarty as Pete
* Asher Grodman as Trevor
* Devan Chandler Long as Thorfinn
* Rebecca Wisocky as Hetty

### Guest cast

* Rodrigo Fernandez-Stoll as Todd Pearlman

## Historical notes

* When Todd is telling Alberta's story he mentioned the Great Migration, which is the widespread migration of African Americans in the 20th century from rural communities in the South to large cities in the North and West.
* Pete is upset that travel agencies aren't used anymore, however, they are still in use. These travel agents are generally apart of another service, such as AAA, or a concierges job at a hotel.

## Trivia

* According to Danielle Pinnock the cast doesn't know what goes on with their characters until the scripts are read, but she always suspected foul play in regards to her character's death.
* Danielle has claimed the tattoo scene is the most funniest scene she did in her entire career even though it was the surreal creepiest moment for everyone else involved in the scene.
	+ Danielle also contributes that scene being great for Jay's character since he hasn't seen what any of the ghosts looked like in their lifetimes.
* Strychnine poisoning could not be misdiagnosed as a cardiac event. Strychnine attacks the central nervous system causing seizures so intense they often break limbs meaning it must been an different poison which killed Alberta which mimicked heart attack symptoms.
* This is the first time we see a flashback to a time when Hetty was a child.
* This is the first appearance of Todd Pearlman in the series.
* We see that Sam and the ghosts take walks through the woods together.
* This is the first episode we see that's focused on Alberta.
* This evidence provides evidence that Alberta's death is foul play and her moonshine killed her.
* The hospital mentioned in the episode isn't real.

Male Doctor

This **Male Doctor** is visited by Alison to discuss the effects of her recent head injury, such as her new found ability to see and hear ghosts. Unfortunately, Alison quickly learns that the doctor is a ghost who died while on duty at the hospital. Upon realizing this, she is terrified and surprised so screams and runs out the doctors office.

It's clear that the doctor enjoyed his profession as even after his death, when he had the chance to be a doctor again, he imminently took it and treated Alison like a regular patient. While alive, he might have liked to pull pranks on his friends and colleges since he clearly enjoyed scaring Alison by revealing he's dead.

While not much is known about his character, you can guess he died more recently -maybe early 2000's- based on his uniform. He was around 60 years old when he died in the hospital from an unknown cause.
