[The] episode is entitled “The Book of Changes,” and several important chapters are closed – just as several new ones are opened.

Only problem is, her explanation is unthinkable: something undead (possibly a vampire) is haunting Grandview. And it won’t rest till it’s taken its intended victim – a vulnerable high school co-ed (Alexa Vega) – to join it in death. If you liked Twilight (the book and/or the movie) you’ll love this episode! …“Endless Love” was written by executive producer P.K. Simonds and directed by executive producer Ian Sander.

There’s lots of discovery and true romance in this episode. It also deals with the value of friends during a time of need – the push-pull between Delia and Melinda about “believing” is an important test of their friendship, and the turn at the end of the show with these two gifted actors is really powerful.
[producers] [T]hree-and-a-half years ago, the Ghost Whisperer pilot launched Jim and Melinda’s relationship with their wedding.

You likely have some strong opinions about it and if not concerned are at least curious and hopefully intrigued about where the story is headed. We can assure you that it’s not what you’re thinking; that would be too obvious. What happened last night is step one in a special journey that will only continue to get bigger and better. Keep watching next week and beyond to see were this is going. We promise you it will be a journey worth taking. Know that what’s important to you is just as important to us… probably more so.
[producers] Happy Halloween, everyone! …First off, we wanted to clear up all the rumors that are circulating. …Read carefully: David Conrad is not, not, not leaving Ghost Whisperer. We love him – he is amazingly talented – we all have lots of fun together and he is an important part of the Ghost Whisperer family. But most of all, we here at Ghost Whisperer are very much aware of how all of you feel about him. Again, David is not leaving Ghost Whisperer. Are we clear?…

[producers] We spent this week shooting our third episode of the new season – where we’re taking Ghost Whisperer to Avatar World! This is going to be an especially cool show, as Melinda will spend part of it trapped in a virtual video game world. We’re shooting two full days in front of a green screen, so that we can create an intricate 3-D space in post production. This should keep Armen Kevorkian and Art Codron, our visual effects whizzes, pretty busy for a while.

[producers] Last week we promised we would reveal the new addition to the Ghost Whisperer cast for Season 4 – it’s Jamie Kennedy coming in to play Eli, a maverick character who Melinda encounters in the season premiere. And yeah, Jamie’s got interesting things going on in the spirit world this season.…You know Jamie from some of this other work in addition to his fabulously funny stand-up: The Jamie Kennedy Experiment – who does funny and a multitude of characters better than Jamie on that show, huh?…
[producers] We’ve received many, many e-mails from fans wanting to know how the fire at Universal on Sunday has affected GHOST WHISPERER for Season 4. …GHOST WHISPERER is a well-oiled machine so it takes more than a fire to knock us off track. Please know we are very grateful for the brave firemen and security officers who tended to the fire because they were able to save so very much of the Universal Lot – including many of GHOST WHISPERER’S sets. Fortunately this did not occur during production hours.

2008: | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
[producers] Well, this week’s show is one of our favorites, “Bad Blood.” It’s scary, theatrical, and fun. We call it our “haunted house” show. The house where it was shot is on the Universal back lot and was originally built for [a] musical film… As an interesting aside when you see the ending of the show, there is an explosion, which was originally planned to be bigger, but the California fires were still burning when we shot the show and we felt we should be more conservative rather than go all out with a giant “fireball.”
2008: | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov | Dec |
[producers] Great news for all you “ghosties”! Ghost Whisperer: The Other Side, the original webseries that ran parallel to Ghost Whisperer the TV series is back with a new installment of webisodes, which premiered Friday! …This Friday’s episode (“First Do No Harm”) was special for me (Ian) because I directed it. This is the second show I directed this season. …This one was not a scary one, but I think a bit more emotional. That’s the fun of doing [it] …every week we make a different kind of movie.
[producers] We are so happy to be back on the air with an all new episode this past Friday. …You probably noticed a new hunky addition to the GW team– Cristoph Sanders, who plays Delia’s son Ned. We met with many actors for this role, but when Cristoph stepped into the room, we all knew he was the one. Interestingly enough Camryn Manheim– who plays Delia– did not meet Cristoph until they shot their first scene, but their chemistry was instant and amazing. We have lots of exciting things planned for the character Ned this season, so stay tuned!
[producers] Happy, Happy New Year! Love wanted us to give you a special Happy New Year greeting from her! …Ghost Whisperer is opening ’08 with a very special repeat performance of the season’s premiere episode “The Underneath”. The show picks up where last season’s finale left off as Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has just come back from the dead and kicks off the beginning of her journey to uncover “secrets”… secrets about her family’s past and secrets about the town of Grandview’s past and how they perhaps relate to each other.
