His character is dead, and David Conrad of CBS’ “Ghost Whisperer” is loving it.
The actor, who plays Jim Clancy, the husband of the ghost whisperer herself, Melinda (Jennifer Love Hewitt), was killed off in last week’s episode. Conrad said the twist is giving him and Love Hewitt the chance to reboot their love story.

“What’s exciting to me is I get to play the part [I] never got to play at all,” he told reporters Thursday. “… We get to start all over again.”
Confused? Let me explain. When Jim died, his ghost took over the body of a dead man named Sam after his soul “went into the light.” Now a revived Sam — who doesn’t look like Jim to anyone but Melinda — has amnesia. He doesn’t have Sam’s, or Jim’s, memories.
Conrad said that because Melinda wants to be with Jim, she and Sam must fall in love, beginning with the episode called “Heart and Soul,” airing at 7 p.m. Friday.
“It’s like a prequel,” he said. “They get to date, flirt, fall back in love with each other. And that’s thrilling, that’s maybe at the heart of what makes them exciting, that chemistry.”
Conrad said he wasn’t surprised with the story line, considering the show deals with death, ghosts and other supernatural phenomena.

“It occurred to me when I was filming the pilot [that] at some point they were going to hand me the pink slip,” he joked. “I didn’t know it would be in such a creative, cool way. I thought they’d be like, ‘You know, we hired David Duchovny, and he’s coming on the show and you’re going …’
“I knew it all the time. Somehow, I was going to become ghostly.”
Barbara Walters strikes back
I knew this was going to happen. Rosie O’Donnell has sparked a new feud with “The View.”
A day after O’Donnell told reporters that things aren’t always rosie on the set of “The View,” Barbara Walters lashed back Thursday.
“There are some people who have done this show,” Walters said without naming names, “and for years feel they have to dump on it, maybe for their own publicity, and that that not only hurts me, but I resent it.
“If the shoe fits, lady — ladies — get on with your lives.”

During a press call on Wednesday in support of her upcoming “Rosie Live” special, O’Donnell, who left “The View” in 2007, said that Walters “wanted everyone to believe and think and act as if [‘The View’ co-hosts] get along and are really good friends and happy and hang out together, and, you know, that’s just not the reality.”
