Warning: Spoilers for Ghosts Season 5 Episode 16\u00a0ahead!<\/p>\n<p>The actor\u2019s appearance was teased months ago, but fans finally got to see what it would be like for Armitage to step through the doors of\u00a0Ghosts\u2018 estate as he joined an eclectic group for a high-roller back-door game, which Sam (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/rose-mciver\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rose McIver<\/a>) and Jay (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/utkarsh-ambudkar\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Utkarsh Ambudkar<\/a>) were hoping to make money off of by using the ghosts to help.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out that one player was cheating though, and a selfie Jay snapped with Armitage tipped off authorities to the illegal game, which was ultimately busted by the episode\u2019s end, forfeiting the money the couple needed after Trevor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/asher-grodman\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Asher Grodman<\/a>) got fired from his job. While it might not have been the most fruitful visit for Sam and Jay, Armitage had a grand time both onscreen and behind the scenes, which allowed him to reunite with Young Sheldon costar <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/danielle-pinnock\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Danielle Pinnock<\/a>, who plays Jazz-age spirit, Alberta.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1254506\" class=\"wp-image-1254506 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ghosts-season-5-episode-16-cast-855x570.jpg\" alt=\"Asher Grodman, Ennis Esmer, Rebecca Wisocky, Rose McIver, Brandon Scott Jones, Iain Armitage, Sheila Carrasco, Jonathan Kite, Lanisa Renee Frederick, Jayne Eastwood, Stephanie Ng Wan, and Danielle Pinnock in 'Ghosts' Season 5\" width=\"855\" height=\"570\"  \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-1254506\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bertrand Calmeau \/ CBS<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt felt really full circle,\u201d Armitage tells TV Insider. \u201cShe is so talented and so funny, and I\u2019ve always said she\u2019s one of my favorite actresses to work with. She brings such a great energy to\u2026 every set I\u2019ve worked with her on.\u201d While Armitage was excited for the reunion, he admits, \u201cI would like to be killed off on Ghosts so badly\u2026 or even have [a] temporary death.\u201d As the actor points out, when you\u2019re playing a living character, you can\u2019t see the ghosts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be really fun to get to be on there and interact with the spectral presences in a slightly more obvious way, rather than just causing Isaac to sneeze,\u201d Armitage muses, sharing hope to return in a future episode.<\/p>\n<p>As for which\u00a0Young Sheldon star he\u2019d like to join\u00a0Ghosts, he reveals, \u201cI\u2019ve thought this one through deeply. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/people\/annie-potts\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Annie Potts<\/a>. She\u2019d be perfect for it. Also, because of her previous work on another ghostly famous IP, Ghostbusters.\u201d It sounds like a perfect Halloween special to us.
