Taking its cue from the five-year jump on Wisteria Lane last season, CBS hit series Ghost Whisperer might be employing the same technique, as producers ponder a similar five-year leap into the future next season, Entertainment Weekly reports.
The jump, reminiscent of Desperate Housewives' last season foray into the future, would mean that the child Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is carrying in last month's season finale will at least be four years of age, old enough to do things other than cry and ask for milk. If we can recall, a previous spoiler revealed that the child holds so much promise, that it will be able to do "much, much more" than his ghost-whispering mom. We also know so far that the impending battle of good vs. evil will be resolved by this baby, which has been referred to as "the key."
Ghost Whisperer fans are already divided whether this time jump would be a good idea. On one hand, it would mean skipping the sight of little Jim getting born and all the messy things that would entail. On the other, most fans are precisely waiting for that moment since learning that Melinda was pregnant. That, and Jim carrying a tiny baby is a good sight to behold, too.
