Sheila Carrasco and Devan Chandler Long got brutally honest about whether Ghosts fans should be worried about a Thor and Flower split — and more shocking changes on the show.
During the Thursday, March 5, episode of the hit CBS series, Thor (Long) and Flower (Carrasco) had a brief disagreement over a chair in their shared room, which was a fun narrative shakeup for the show’s cast.
“As actors we all kind of crave those episodes with a lot of conflict. Devin and I, we’ve actually been angling for a while for Flower and Thor to have some [of conflict] because it’s just so much fun,” Carrasco, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly.
Carrasco enjoyed the challenge, adding, “They’re still stuck in the house together no matter what so they’re not really ever going to be apart. If anything, it gives them more to work to get back together. I try to think of this as the beginning of the honeymoon being over. This is one battle — but the actual war is ongoing of what’s going to happen with them.”
Long, 42, meanwhile, recalled “staging a lot of false arguments” with Carrasco to inspire the story line.
“Sheila and I [would do it] in front of the writers. They have a little area where they hang out on set and we would go there and just get in arguments,” he noted. “It was about small things like donuts or cereal. But that’s been going on for about two years now. I think they got the idea that we are interesting when we argue.”
Ghosts, which premiered in 2021, is based on the original British series of the same name. After a married couple moves from the city to their recently-inherited Woodstone Manor, Sam (Rose McIver) suffers an accident that allows her to see the ghosts of people from different eras of American history who died on the property and are now bound to the area.
Flower and Thor’s relationship has been teased since the pilot but it took time for them to officially get together. Now that they are a couple, Carrasco and Long are interested in seeing where they will go next — even if that includes a potential breakup.
“You really find out who people are when they’re in a relationship. So to find out more — in a way — about who Flower and Thor are like within their conflict … I don’t know that they have to break up or even get back together,” Carrasco told Us. “It’s just, ‘What is their character journey throughout the show and and how do they navigate it together?’ Whether they’re together or not.”
Long also weighed in on the possibilities.
“If you wanted them to break up, that’s a cool perspective, too,” he quipped. “I’m unaware of it. But listen, with this show, anything can happen.”
Ghosts airs on CBS Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Paramount+.
