"Ghosts" star Rebecca Wisocky on her character's plot twist and the show's success

Rebecca Wisocky, star of the hit CBS comedy "Ghosts," recently discussed her character's surprising heritage revelation and the show's continued success after being renewed for two more seasons.

Wisocky, who plays the ghost of Victorian-era lady Hetty Woodstone, appeared on "CBS Mornings" to talk about a recent episode where her character discovered her Irish heritage — a particularly meaningful revelation since Hetty previously expressed disdain for people who have Irish heritage.

"This kind of character is best when she gets her comeuppance, when she's proven wrong," Wisocky said. "She does a Woodstone 180 on this one. That was her horror, to discover that she was Irish. And of course now she's embraced and become a hibernophile."
