airing Wed Feb 8 – 8:30PM on ABC
The always-wonderful Gina Rodriguez is taking on a new role: Ghost whisperer. She plays Nell, a down-on-her-luck journalist who gets her old job back at a local US newspaper after the romance she moved countries for comes crashing down. Since she left, things have changed around the office—her old work buddies are now her bosses, while she’s stuck in a broom-closet-style office writing obituaries. But writing about dead people gets a whole lot more interesting for Nell when those dearly departed show up at her office.
Yup, she’s seeing ghosts and it’s making act her act a little frantic (even more so than usual). It’s up to her to figure out how best to help honor these ghosts through her writing and help them move on (and sometimes that means helping them with some unfinished business). This might also help her move on and take control of her life too—y’know, eventually, maybe, with some ups and downs, we’ll see. Not Dead Yet is a sparkling new addition to the ABC comedy roster; it’s quirky in all the best ways and will keep you smiling. Rodriguez is very good at making you root for her characters and this is no exception—Nell has a long way to go to get back on track but you’ll be cheering her on every step of the way.
