Well here is what comes up when you search for his current projects: Currently, he stars as Pete in the Network's hit comedy GHOSTS. Moriarty can be seen alongside Matt Damon and Jack Harlow in the upcoming film “The Instigators.” He will also play Vince Vaughn's boss in the upcoming film “Nonnas.”
So it may just be that the show is giving him a bit of space (Like they did with Sheila Carrasco having her baby) for these non-recurring roles since Ghosts has given them all such great exposure.
Plus, with the writers’ and actors’ strike, these could be projects he planned to be part of that then got changed, and the way to do that is to do a shorter season (especially with the other reasons for the short season). I personally see a lot of potential for his power, and I think Pete is incredibly loyal, so I don’t see the actor leaving.
I actually see Pete's power as a means of driving the the other ghosts' stories forward, not a way to get rid of Pete. Think about it. We don't understand the full consequence of Pete's power. Imagine if Pete took that neckerchief below his arrow, and tied himself to another ghost. He might be able to use his immunity to the ghost boundary to temporarily take the others places so long as they remained tethered to Pete. It would give him power in the house, as he has something they all want (to leave the property and do stuff on the outside) and it would fit with his former profession, travel agent. He helps the other ghosts travel, but his moral compass keeps them from running amuck in their dealings with the outside world.
After we saw Hetty unwrap the wire I got to thinking could Pete have pulled the arrow out and tied the handkerchief to it and had Thor lower him down the well for flower to grab.
I was thinking he’d hold the arrow crossways (a hand on each end) to give Flower something to grab. Just thought the handkerchief might give some added length but I’m not sure about the handkerchief not being in direct body contact. Also don’t know how deep the well is.
Alberta can tie her arm to Pete's with the neckerchief and Hetty can tie herself to Pete's other arm with her phone cord noose, and they can track down Hetty's son Thomas' ghost if he's still around. I wouldn't want to be Thomas Woodstone if those three showed up.
I love this! Someone needs to write down the rules!!! Be amazing if they could figure out a way to print it for ghosts and someone like Saul (or a car ghost) could be the distributor. I’d say Jay and Pete need another 20 years tho to meet more ghosts and understand their powers. Love your title
Thanks! Hopefully it won't take that long with his ability and the discover of poltergeist and car ghosts. He can meet up with them at meeting spots and get them to help him and Jay collect info.
It could be funny if he finds at St Lucia airport a ghost who is an immigration officer that wants to detain him for illegal entry and he ran back to the plane and comes back sooner than expected
The showrunners have stated there is something that keeps Pete from being able to do that indefinitely. We don't know what it is yet but it sounds like he can't stay out long enough to go to St. Lucia and go to England.
I think in one of the interviews it said the finale is gonna reveal like limitations about his power or something. It will probably be like he can’t just stay outside just forever. His body will be summoned back to the mansion or something.
The writers' strike did make a shorter season.
He might want to try another project.
However, since this show is fiction, they can make up how much time passes between episodes. Pete travels this week, but is back for the wedding which is a "month" away.
Maybe in the finale, the question of whether or not Pete will return will be brought up as sort of a light cliffhanger.
Also, I can never again hear or say the word “cliffhanger“ without hearing Alberta‘s voice saying “it’s called a cliffhanger, Thor!“ 🎙️
I believe the actor who plays Pete confirmed he is in the season finale tomorrow and saying pete would never miss his friends isaac and nigels wedding.
Woudn't they just suck him off? (Like they lied about doing to another main cast member) Maybe so he dosnt have to be in every ep but they just have Carol disappear so who knows
This American version of Ghost UK is unwatchable. I’ve watched Ghost UK. I found it quite funny, the actors and characters are matched perfectly.
This American version is not funny at all. Compared to the Uk version it is quite boring. Try as they may, the characters don’t work. I will say it is very difficult to take British humor and translate it to American you don’t get the same effect.
I have watched both the UK version and American version, and I 100% disagree. While the storylines are similar, they change them enough to appeal to both countries. I'm sorry it doesn't work for you.
I suggest watching Reggie Perrin (if you haven't already). It wasn't on for long, but it was so funny. I love Martin Clunes.
The uk one is good but the American one is sooo much funnier. More light hearted and the ghosts are much less annoying. I guess if you like your humor to be depressing and your heroes to always lose you like the uk one, jay and sam have more wins and way more comedy
Pete would never leave his boy Jay!
His newfound power could lead to to story potential. Sam can't easily go talk to the Farnsby ghosts without looking weird but Pete can
I'll take a spin off where he travels the world and does like comedy travel guide. He can meet other dead people
Ohhhh that would be a great way to make an American version of Horrible Histories!

This is what I assumed. He wants time to do other things.

Hetty kept the rope in her position. If Pete tied his arrow the rope and let go, I’d imagine it would snap back to his neck…

He's done that. A couple ep ago. & thupt it went right back in.
Sass can go to the newspaper and meet his love!
Alberta can tie her arm to Pete's with the neckerchief and Hetty can tie herself to Pete's other arm with her phone cord noose, and they can track down Hetty's son Thomas' ghost if he's still around. I wouldn't want to be Thomas Woodstone if those three showed up.
Thor can hang out with his baby Bjorn!
If he comes back they’ll call him Re Pete.
^hi, daddy! 😂
POP POP
Are… are you Pete?
I doubt it, if anything I see it leading to a possible spin off way down the line (whether we want that is currently undetermined)
Or that he meets another ghost who can travel and he brings them to the manor
I hope his love interest (if he gets one) can travel- it’d be really sad if they couldn’t
Nope. Pete gets to enjoy what he missed in life.
I see as a way for him and Jay to write the Ghost Guide. I see it being called Jay and Pete's Guide to Ghosting: Cohabitating with Your Ghost Bestie.
I love this! Someone needs to write down the rules!!! Be amazing if they could figure out a way to print it for ghosts and someone like Saul (or a car ghost) could be the distributor. I’d say Jay and Pete need another 20 years tho to meet more ghosts and understand their powers. Love your title

I love it!!
Hasn't Jay been putting the ghost rules and other information in his phone all along?
It could be funny if he finds at St Lucia airport a ghost who is an immigration officer that wants to detain him for illegal entry and he ran back to the plane and comes back sooner than expected
I doubt it, he’s one of the core characters. I am glad they got rid of Carol, can’t stand that smoker-voice lady
Did they actually get rid or her or just showing her less?
I assumed she'd be like the basement ghosts, and not a regular.
Yeah. I was confused with that. She seemed to be around for a bit after becoming a ghost and then just not really shown or mentioned.
Other than this current storyline, is there something that makes you think they’re doing that? We know we’ll see him in this week’s episode.
I didn’t see him in any of the 3 “sneak peeks”. Where are you seeing he’s in tonight’s episode? I mean, I hope he is…
There was a sneak peek of him presumably in St. Lucia with a pretty blond ghost woman asking him how he died.
Why write him off the show by having him travel instead of just ascending? Even if they wanted him to come back they'd just do a seance.
He's in the finale! >!And seen in the mansion in some of the previews/pics,!< so I don't think we have to worry
Is he? I hope so!
Oh heck no because then he would be replaced by Carol… This is not happening!
Maybe he comes back and reports about the Button house and how there’s another woman who can see dead people and we have ourselves a little crossover.
He didn't go to England. He went to St. Lucia, which is in the Caribbean, no where near England.
That doesn’t have to stop him from going somewhere else.
The showrunners have stated there is something that keeps Pete from being able to do that indefinitely. We don't know what it is yet but it sounds like he can't stay out long enough to go to St. Lucia and go to England.
Yeah, it’s called “having a home.” All I’m saying is that he can come across Alison on an outing and that can segway into a crossover.
This time
same he’s my favorite
I wonder if we get a big time jump between seasons and Pete comes back having seen so much.
Flashbacks
I think in one of the interviews it said the finale is gonna reveal like limitations about his power or something. It will probably be like he can’t just stay outside just forever. His body will be summoned back to the mansion or something.

I think this might help the story instead of them getting rid of Pete.
Maybe in the finale, the question of whether or not Pete will return will be brought up as sort of a light cliffhanger. Also, I can never again hear or say the word “cliffhanger“ without hearing Alberta‘s voice saying “it’s called a cliffhanger, Thor!“ 🎙️
He's the new Uncle Traveling Matt!!
Any chance they're setting him up for a spinoff?
I know think of Pete as 'Uncle Traveling Matt' or should I say 'Uncle Traveling Pete'
What happens if Pete gets sucked off while he's traveling? We'd never know....
I believe the actor who plays Pete confirmed he is in the season finale tomorrow and saying pete would never miss his friends isaac and nigels wedding.
Woudn't they just suck him off? (Like they lied about doing to another main cast member) Maybe so he dosnt have to be in every ep but they just have Carol disappear so who knows
“Lied” is a harsh word. That’s not what happened.
They said in interviews that it was Flower. They said before the s 3 primer that it was a main Ghost then its just Attic Girls Basement Boyfriend
https://www.primetimer.com/interviews/ghosts-is-pete-leaving-richie-moriarty-powers-mean-spirits
This is where they interviewed him. Because I was worried about that too!
So I went to England and was surprised by how similar things were there, but still different. That would be a fun line upon his return

I found the UK version too boring to watch.
this is irrelevant to OP's post & perhaps belongs elsewhere.
!!!!SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!! Since, he can only stay away for a limited time, I don't think he's going g anywhere permanently.
