Ghost Whisperer's third season aired in the United States (U.S.) on Fridays at 8:00 pm ET on CBS, a terrestrial television network, where it received an average of 8.67 million viewers per episode.[2]
In the third season, Melinda searches in her family history for answers as she gets closer to learning the secret of her gift, her childhood, and her estranged father. She soon finds out that Gabriel is her half-brother. Melinda finds a series of tunnels which lead to a town buried deep below Grandview, which houses dozens of ghosts.(The tunnel situation is never solved) She soon has dreams about a man in a mask coming to her in her sleep, and believes this is an event from her childhood.
At the end of the season, Tom Gordon (played by Martin Donovan) appears in Grandview alive with Gabriel. It is revealed the man in the mask is Paul Eastman, and Melinda's biological father (Melinda awoke Paul's ghost when searching in the tunnels). In disbelief, Melinda goes with Tom to her childhood home and when they arrive inside, Tom tells her the truth. When she was a child, Tom fell in love with Melinda's mother, Beth, while Paul was in prison. When Paul escaped from prison after a fire and returned home, Tom killed him in order to keep him from Beth and buried him in their basement. When he heard that Melinda was slowly uncovering the evidence, he had to return to Grandview. Tom tries to kill Melinda, but she is saved when Paul's ghost possesses Tom and throws him down a flight of stairs, killing him. The next day, Melinda and her friends meet in the town square. Melinda invites her mother, and the two say goodbye to Paul as he goes into the Light.
The show was produced by Sander/Moses Productions in association with CBS Television Studios (originally Paramount Network Television in season one and ABC Studios (originally Touchstone Television in the first two seasons) and CBS Paramount Network Television in seasons two and three).
Sound effects were completed at Smart Post Sound.[10] Visual effects for the pilot and some season one episodes were completed at Flash Film Works.[11] Visual effects for nearly the entire series were created at Eden FX.[12]
In Season 3 Melinda searches continually for her father, strongly believing that he is dead, and also for her brother. She speaks with her mother who does not give her much information other than that Melinda and Jim have to leave Grandview because of all the evil spirits. Melinda also learns that Beth had once lived in Grandview. In the fifth episode "Weight of What Was," Gabriel arrives at her home saying that he is her half-brother and that he is also looking for their father. He was staying in a hotel under the name Gabriel Gordon. He hands Melinda a package that leads her to an underground church that had been buried as well as to her ancestor, Tessa, who was also a "ghost whisperer." Tom Gordon reveals to her a little bit about her past. Melinda and Jim later on have a discussion about having children and Melinda agrees on having one. From some point in the show Melinda is haunted by a ghost who is known as (Masked Man) at first. Towards the end of the season, Tom Gordon shows up in Grandview alive. It is revealed, however, that Tom Gordon is not her biological father. She asks her mother to be absolutely honest with her and tell her everything. Her mother reveals the fact that her birth father is really a man named Paul Eastman. At the very end of the season, what seems to be a happy moment is spoiled when Payne makes a shocking observation. He points out the fact that there are six people lined up (Delia, Beth Gordon, Ned, Jim, Melinda, and Payne himself), yet there are only five visible shadows.
Last season, Ghost Whisperer took a huge creative risk. Jim (David Conrad), the supportive husband of Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt) died, refused to cross over, and stepped into the body of a dying man named Sam. Melinda and viewers knew Sam was Jim, but it took Jim, whose soul suffered some sort of amnesia in its new body (which viewers still saw as Conrad's), some time to figure it out. He finally did, and the season ended with the couple learning that they were pregnant (the baby is Jim-Jim's) and that the child will be able to do "much, much more" than his mother, who can see and hear dead people.
* The series' 100th episode. It's the 15th episode this season, and it too will be directed by Hewitt. "It promises to be explosive," Simonds adds. "That's all I'm going to say."
Nina's scheme began with her "accidental" run-in with Rick in the episode's opening, which led to a double date with Melinda Gordon and her husband Jim Clancy. After Kate's ghost wrecked the date, Rick visited Nina at her apartment, where he learned that Nina had a son upon hearing him from inside the apartment calling Nina, "Mom." After learning that Elliot was 10 years of age, Rick began to suspect that he was Elliot's biological father--a suspicion that Nina later confirmed as part of her scheme. Nina informed Rick about Elliot's schooling, adding there were two financial aid spots open, after which Rick offered to use Kate's life insurance money to pay for Elliot's schooling. Nina acted unwilling to accept to cover up her persona as a scheming villainess, though Rick not only insisted on paying, a later scene saw Rick offer to allow Nina and Elliot to move in with him, as he wanted to be more than just a "paycheck dad."
One of the saddest GW episodes came early in season two when SPOILER ALERT Melinda helps her best friend Andrea pass over after she was killed. Since then, the now-47-year-old actress, comedian and host has been busier than ever. Most recently she replaced JLH on Criminal Minds, where she remains a cast member. She also spent six years as a co-host of the daily chat show The Talk, is currently the emcee of the revival of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and hosted 260 episodes of the podcast Girl On Guy with Aisha Tyler. Tyler has also had a second career as a voice artist in animation, voicing Lana Kane on Archer and characters on Bojack Horseman and The Boondocks. And in 2017 she added directing to her resume with the action thriller Axis (2017) starring Sam Rockwell and an episode of Criminal Minds!
