The Ghost Whisperer certainly knows how to appeal to viewers’ interests. From conducting online séances to answering fans’ e-mail, the highly-rated show continues to cater to its audience. In the latest move, the show’s star, Jennifer Love Hewitt, will now answer fan’s questions on air, during the CBS daytime line-up. (Check your local listings for times and dates.) The Ghost Whisperer follows the adventure of Hewitt’s character, Melinda, a young wife and antiques dealer who can communicate with the dead. Each week, Melinda helps the dearly departed complete unfinished business, so that they can rest in peace.

“We’ve been really excited that people have responded to the show the way they have,” the friendly Hewitt says, “and it just means making sure we work harder than we did on the episode before, so that they continue to watch. It’s been an adjustment, just knowing how to keep your energy up and making sure you stay healthy and rested, but it’s been a welcome adjustment in my life.”

Responding to audience queries in front of a camera also is new for Hewitt. “What we’ve tried to do with our show,” she reasons, “is to involve viewers as much as possible, and to make it a fun experience to learn about ghosts and what they can do. We want viewers to know that we realize how hard it is to get faithful viewers who come back and watch. We know what that means and how special that is, and we don’t take it for granted.” Questions can be sent to the e-mail address ghostwhisperercbs.com.

“The subject matter, what Melinda does every day, initially was hard for me to grasp,” the actress admits. “I was a person who was very afraid of death when we started the show, so to talk about it every day was intense and difficult for me. Now I’ve been able to find a different place for it. I realize the show is not about death, it’s about living better and making sure you don’t have unfinished business ... so that you don’t have to meet Melinda Gordon one day.”
