The Ghost Whisperer isn't exactly the most upbeat show on television.

But executive producer P.K. Simonds told Entertainment Weekly that "the rest of our season isn't about death - it's about new life."

Come again, P.K.?

"[That] isn't to say, in a show called Ghost Whisperer, that no one will die. Obviously, people will die - including someone close to one of our main characters."

Phew. We were afraid for a moment there that Melinda would have no one to whom she could whisper next season.
