Rumor vs Reality: Omari Hardwick Confirms Death of Character “Ghost” on ‘Power’
Omari Hardwick, known for his portrayal of James St. Patrick, popularly known as “Ghost” in the hit series ‘Power,’ has officially confirmed his character’s death.
‘Power,’ a series that has carefully guided the grey waters of crime, loyalty, and betrayal within New York City’s drug scene, presented its audience with the controversial end of its central character, Ghost. Since this plot development, there has been intense debate and speculation over his death, as some believe he has gone into hiding.
The latest reveal by Hardwick puts an end to the theories floating around concerning Ghost’s survival, confirming that the character will indeed not return to the storyline.
Here’s the video confirming Ghost’s death –
When the Power series ended in 2020, fans were shocked to see Ghost getting killed by his son, Tariq St. Patrick, in a confrontation at his nightclub, Truth. This was the conclusion of a complex father-son relationship marked by betrayal, misunderstandings, and Ghost’s wish to leave his criminal life behind—a change that Tariq never wanted.
Besides, when the series ended, fans were already looking forward to the development of a “Power” prequel series titled “Origins,” exploring the early days of Ghost and Tommy.
All this led to fans theorizing how Ghost could reappear, suggesting scenarios such as flashbacks or unforeseen plot developments that could reintroduce him to the story, indicating the character’s undying influence.
