Rose McIver's impressive impression of Betsy Sodaro's Nancy for the Ghosts Season 4 Christmas special was aided by Sodaro herself. McIver revealed on Collider Ladies Night that she used Sodaro's recordings and even a 'gateway word', 'Stuart', to nail the iconic character's delivery.
Ghosts Season 4 just celebrated its second major holiday special with an epic double possession. Though much of the episode's emotional weight rests on Utkarsh Ambudkar's shoulders, Rose McIver blows everyone away in the first half of 'A Very Arondekar Christmas' with her perfect impression of Betsy Sodaro 's Nancy. McIver recently stopped by the latest episode of Collider Ladies Night to unpack the Christmas special and so much more with host Perri Nemiroff.
During their wide-ranging conversation, McIver confessed that she had been wanting to work more with Sodaro for quite some time when she received 'a text from one of the Joes,' referring to series showrunners Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, asking if she could do a Nancy impression. She went on to say, 'I was like, 'I have no idea. She's so iconic to us, but I'd love to swing the bat.' I mean, there's nobody I'd be more excited to try and imitate. Then, thankfully, Betsy was just Betsy about it all and helped me every step of the way to try to do something in her ballpark.' When Nemiroff said what we were all thinking, in that McIver's impression is so impressive it's almost as if Sodaro recorded the lines, and she lip-synched them, McIver promised we'll get some real treats in the blooper reel. 'It took a while to get some of the lines,' she explained. 'There are moments where I don't even know who I sound like, but it's not Betsy.' Luckily, to bring herself back to the right tone and inflection, McIver picked a 'gateway word' that we've heard Sodaro utter many times on Ghosts. 'If ever I got stuck, and I started getting really off track and that happened, I would just start ranting 'Stuart' to myself over and over again and kind of get back.' Sodaro Gave McIver Plenty of Options for Nancy's Line Delivery in 'Ghosts' Season 4 Christmas Special Ahead of the episode, to help McIver make the possession as accurate as possible, Sodaro actually recorded various versions of all the lines for McIver to base her performance on
