‘Ghosts’: Rose McIver Talks Making Her Directorial Debut As The Mafia Visits Woodstone Mansion

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Thursday night’s episode of Ghosts. Ghosts channeled its inner mafia mentality with Thursday night’s episode, in which Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) finds himself in some hot water after he gets a new recipe from his restaurant from Pete (Richie Moriarty).

While Richie offers the recipe with no ill-will in mind, the thing he doesn’t realize is that Carol (Caroline Aaron), who he learned it from, was sharing a recipe made by her mafioso family members — who are not too happy when they discover that a tiny upstate B&B and restaurant has stolen it.

Series star Rose McIver took on a new role for this episode, directing for the first time, after years of aspirations to get behind the camera, in addition to her on-screen role as the ever-constant voice of reason, Sam.

In the interview below, she spoke with Deadline about her experience on the episode and teased what’s to come next week, when audiences will finally get to learn why Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones) holds such a grudge against Alexander Hamilton. DEADLINE: Last time we spoke, you told me a bit about your directing aspirations, but what were the conversations like for you to direct this episode, specifically? ROSE MCIVER: I’ve been wanting to direct for a long time.
