The series share the same creators, who originated and starred in theBritishGhostsseries.
When the American series launched in 2021, nearlyevery CBS ghostresembled their UK counterparts.
The US series significantly changed the UK version, distinguishing it as an American series.
The spirits that Sam and Allison can see in their respective series make up a family they never had.
In the British series, Mikes family visits throughout, but Allison has no family.
Jay and Mike share qualities, like being sneakerheads, that sustain their commonality.
As such, Jay is deeply intrigued by the ghosts.
Jay is also a talented chef who can cook for his visitors and guests.
Lastly,Jay is Hindu, so he infuses fascinating perspectives on life and death into the AmericanGhostsnarrative.
Ghosts is a comedy series about Samantha and Jay, who convert a country estate into a bed-and-breakfast. Unbeknownst to them, the house is inhabited by ghosts of former residents, visible only to Samantha. The show blends humor with supernatural elements as the couple navigates their unusual challenges.
The main difference between the characters is their age.
Even though Thor is 1000 years old, Robin is way older.
Robin and Thorfinn can manipulate electricity similarly.
Another commonality that Thor and Robin share is thatthey both died from being struck by lightning.
However, their deaths are different.
Lightning struck Robin while hiding in a tree to escape a bear.
Thorfinns story gives the character a bit less credit in theGhosts' Woodstone B&B timeline.
That said, the result of the characters deaths was the same.
Isaac and the Captain died in their uniforms and felt a sense of disgrace surrounding their deaths.
Isaac died of dysentery, whereas the Captain died of a heart attack.
The American series made an essential change to Isaac, allowing him to explore his sexuality in the afterlife.
Isaac also borrows a trope from Thomas, a dead English poet in the BritishGhostsseries.
Like Martha Howe-Douglas Fanny or"Lady Button"character, Rebecca WisockysHetty is the lady of the estate.
Still, both characters inhabited the house during their lives, familiarizing them with their estates.
Fanny falls out of the second-story window every morning in the British series, reliving her death.
Hetty and Fanny also share a connection to Sam and Allison.
The spirits investigate Albertas death in the American series for a podcast.
In the British series, they are curious about Kittys death because her retelling of the event is naive.
Still, both ghosts died of poisoning.
However, the events of Albertas death were malicious.
Thomas Woodstone poisoned Alberta with a toxic bottle of moonshine, while Kitty died of a poisonous spider bite.
Both parties suspect that the characters sister was behind her death.
InGhostsUK, Kittys sister is an awful Georgian noblewoman who resents her sister.
Still, both women are charming in their own right and arguably the best dressed in their afterlives.
The connection between Crash and Humphrey is their deaths and how they must spend their afterlife.
Both characters had their heads cut off, making their heads fully detached in the afterlife.
Unfortunately, Pat crashes the bus into a tree in the UK version.
BothTrevor and Julian died without their pants on, leaving them exposed from the waist down in their afterlives.
Both characters are womanizers.
However, the American series improved Julian Fawcetts politician character.
Trevor also borrows a trope from Thomas from the UK show.
Trevor is similarly struck by Sam when she first appears at Woodstone Mansion.
Another similarity between Julian and Trevor is their role in Allison and Sams unique abilities.
In the British series, Julian pushed Allison out the window.
Again, the American series improved the character.
While it caused Sam to fall down the stairs inGhostsUS, it was an honest mistake.
Unbeknownst to them, the house is inhabited by ghosts of former residents, visible only to Samantha.
The show blends humor with supernatural elements as the couple navigates their unusual challenges.
