*Since its debut in 2014, the crime-drama series “Power” has evolved into a major franchise with several spinoffs and devoted fanbases. Creator Courtney Kemp previously reflected on which character deaths she regrets, as she didn’t anticipate the show expanding into a larger universe.
In an Instagram Live from over three years ago, Kemp revealed that if she had known, she would have spared characters played by La La Anthony, Jerry Ferrara, and Ty Jones.
“This is how we know that I didn’t plan it in advance. The first one is LaKeisha. I would not have killed Proctor off… I mean it’s tough to say, this is going to be so random, but I might have potentially kept Black Donovan alive,” she said in the clip, Vibe reports. Fans expected her to mention the shocking death of the main character, Ghost, played by Omari Hardwick.
In a 2020 interview, Hardwick reflected on playing James St. Patrick/Ghost in the hit STARZ show, and how his character was murdered by his onscreen son Tariq.
“At the end of the day I was a strong black father figure that wanted the best for his family especially his children and their future. I felt like my character should have been gone in season 7,” the actor explained to Page Six.

“I felt he was definitely a good father but he wasn’t so affectionate but he was present enough. My character may have had bad sides like many do but he was present…even at his children’s school,” Hardwick added,
“Out of both parents Ghost was probably the better parent. He told his son to go to school while his wife Tasha [Naturi Naughton] told him to deal drugs,” he continued.

When asked if he’s worried about being typecast, Omari said, “I know the character of Ghost will sometimes be pushed back when I’m playing another role. I am more than one dimension. However if someone calls me Ghost on the street that’s fine but I am not scared of this character to follow me. I did not quarantine my talent when I was playing Ghost. I did nine movies during that time.”
“Power” was one of the highest-rated cable shows during its run. Four television series make up the “Power” Universe franchise: “Power,” “Power Book II: Ghost,” “Power Book III: Raising Kanan,” and “Power Book IV: Force.”
Last year, STARZ announced a fifth series, “Power: Origins” was in development. It will focus on the early years of Ghost and Tommy Egan in the 1990s.
