"Ghost Whisperer" Features Autism Storyline This Friday
Tune in this Friday, Oct. 13 at 8:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. Central) as CBS' “Ghost Whisperer” features a character with autism. On “Ghost Whisperer” Jennifer Love Hewitt stars as “Melinda Gordon,” a woman who communicates with ghosts clinging to the living because they have unfinished business. In this episode, “The Ghost Within,” Melinda encounters a ghost that doesn't appear to see or hear her. Kevin Weisman (“Alias”) signed on as a guest star once he learned of the autism storyline because of his friendship with
affected families and his involvement with Cure Autism Now. The episode also features Jay Mohr (“Action”) in a recurring role and guest stars L. Scott Caldwell (“Lost”) and Roma Maffia (“Nip/Tuck”).
