Melinda Gordon {nicknamed Mel and Mely in Ghost Whisperer} was the role played by Jennifer Love Hewitt. She was married to Sam James Lucas and gave birth to Aiden Lucas on the television series Ghost Whisperers. Mely possessed the skills to see and hear ghosts and owns an antique shop in the city. Born to Beth Gordon {mother} and Paul Eastman {biological father}, she was portrayed as a 34-year-old woman who always loves helping ghosts reach a state of eternal rest.
Melinda Gordon moved to the city of Grandview after marrying Jim Clancy, a paramedic who knew of Melinda’s supernatural abilities. Although Beth Gordon, Melinda’s mother also possesses the abilities to speak and listen to ghosts, but she denied it and never questioned her daughter for the same abilities. Aside from her husband, Melinda also shares her secrets with Professor Rick Payne, who happens to be an insider on occult practices. Professor Payne played a prominent role in helping Melinda learn more about her practices and also helped her discover more about herself. Eli James, Andrea Marino, and Delia Banks were also aware of Melinda’s supernatural qualities at one point or another.
Melinda Gordon was a fourth generation medium {her supernatural traits date back to her great great grandmother}. She could speak effectively and reach out to spirits who seek her help. Melinda was able to help these spirits achieve their desired peace by helping them talk to loved ones or do things such spirits could not do while they were alive. By doing so, Melinda was able to help those ghosts move from darkness to light.
At the beginning of the series, Melinda and Jim were seen moving to the town of Grandview where he opened an antique store known as “The Same It Was Never OLD.” She met Andrea Marino, who later joined her in running the antique store. Melinda had become very intimate with Andrea and later shared her secrets with her.
As a result of her special abilities, Melinda often receives visions and revelations about the particular ghost or spirits she is helping at any given time. In the finale of the first season of the television series, for example, Melinda was found receiving messages from a ghost on a plane that had not yet crashed, and in another episode, she was unconsciously transported to a forest from her hometown. . In the second season, Melinda had a vision of how people looked at her just as her house was covered with a large body of water. He also saw a large bridge in the sky with cars falling everywhere around him. These were some of the visions that Melinda used to save many earthly spirits in the television series.
Towards the end of the fourth season, it was discovered that Melinda Gordon’s son possessed many more powers than his mother and such powers were revealed by the Book of Changes and the Watchers. Melinda Gordon had a very hectic and overwhelming role in season five as she tried to balance the role of motherhood and help ghosts cross into the light, especially when she discovered that her son was constantly in danger due to his enormous supernatural powers. Observers revealed that Aiden-Melinda’s son was an empath, and as a result, Melinda was able to receive visions from Aiden.
Romano remained the main obstacle to Melinda Gordon’s success, as she used her enormous death count to fortify the dark side against the Light.
