ghost whisperer jim dies

My dad loves this show and probably just finished watching it. I myself never even tried to watch it, but I cant understand a lot of people being mad over the killing of one of the main characters. It is one of the main things that I think kills the show in the long term. But since the show is about ghosts then maybe he won't be gone for very long and still be apart of it. You will just be able to see through him now.

Kill a beloved character, and fans will grumble -- loudly and in big numbers. "Ghost Whisperer" learned how deeply the audience cares about Jim (David Conrad) after he died in last week's episode.

Don't be disheartened, say executive producers for the CBS drama.

"Jim did get killed," Kim Moses said Friday. "He did get shot. But that's not where the show lives and breathes, and that's not what we're dwelling on. 'Ghost Whisperer' is about hope." She promised that the hope viewers are seeking will come in next week's episode. (The drama continues at 8 tonight on WKMG-Channel 6.)

Conrad is not leaving the supernatural show, and he embraced the acting challenge of playing a dead man, Moses added.

"Everybody loves the chemistry that he and Jennifer Love Hewitt have," Moses said. "We've realized we want to give their relationship more screen time."

In fact, she said "Ghost Whisperer" will turn up the romance between Jim and his living wife, Melinda (Hewitt). "This is about hope. Very few people get a second chance at true love," Moses said.

But what does the show say to fans unhappy that Jim is dead? Despite sci-fi and paranormal elements, the show is also a mystery, executive producer Ian Sander said. "All I can say to them is you must turn the page and see where this mystery is going if you want to be satisfied," he said. "All you saw at the end of last week's episode was a page in the mystery." Sander said he hoped the mythology of the Jim-Melinda romance will keep viewers coming back.
