‘Ghosts’: Rebecca Wisocky Talks Hetty’s Good, Long Look In The Mirror In Two-Part Halloween Special
The two-part Halloween special of *Ghosts* introduces Hetty Woodstone’s estranged sister Margaret, whose ghost has been trapped inside a mirror since her death. Their reunion forces Hetty to confront a painful family history and question a story about lost love that she has believed for years.
Margaret blames Hetty for her fate, while Hetty has long blamed Margaret for preventing her from marrying the painter Julian. The sisters discover that Margaret was interested in Julian first, and Hetty had failed to listen. Actor Rebecca Wisocky says this challenges Hetty’s view of her past and could open the way for personal growth; the story also reflects how women of the period were pushed into competing for security through marriage.
In short
- Hetty’s sister Margaret returns as a ghost trapped in a mirror.
- Hetty learns her account of a lost romance was mistaken.
- The discovery could change how she understands love and her past.
Explained simply
Ghosts is a television comedy about the spirits who inhabit a country house and the living people who share it. Hetty Woodstone is one of the ghosts, and Margaret is her estranged sister, whose death left her bound to a mirror.
The sisters’ conflict centres on their memories of the past and of Julian, a painter they both cared about. Their story draws on the limited choices women of their era often had, when marriage could be closely tied to financial security, and explores how revisiting old assumptions can change someone’s understanding of their own life.
