Power boss hints James St Patrick has a secret brother – and could appear in Ghost spin-off series
Power boss Courtney Kemp has hinted James St Patrick has a secret brother - and that he could appear in the Ghost spin-off series.
The show's creator dropped the bombshell in a live Q&A on Instagram and left fans wondering if Omari Hardwick could return to play his character's sibling.
Kemp read out the question: "Does Ghost have a secret sister?"
Smirking, she replied: "No. Not a sister. Hint, hint, hint, hint, hint, hint, hint, hint, hint, hint."
The Starz crime drama came to an end earlier this year but four spin-off shows have been announced.
The first in the series is Power Book II: Ghost, but there has been no confirmation as to whether Hardwick will return in the wake of his character's death.
The question of who killed James 'Ghost' St Patrick dominated Power's final season.
Some fans believe the druglord could still be alive.
Ghost was gunned down in his own nightclub in shocking scenes, with Tommy (Joseph Sikora) rushing to his side as he bled out on the floor.
Each episode then focused on a suspect, narrowing down the pool of potential perpetrators.
However, upon rewatching Ghost’s final moments, some fans noticed that something was amiss with the protagonist’s bullet wound.
They claimed that the point of entry stopped leaking blood almost immediately and that the stains across his shirt did not spread in the way a real puncture would.
As a result, they suggested that Ghost could’ve used a blood pack and instead been faking the entire assassination.
YouTube user Alejandro Gonzales took a closer look at the theory, which claims Ghost's wife and son Tasha (Nature Naughton) and Tariq (Michael Rianey Jr) were also in on the stunt.
He began: “They (Tasha and Tariq) helped make his murder scene look official in exchange for their freedom - Tasha, who worked at a salon, could’ve easily made that gunshot wound look real for him.
“The gunshot wound wasn’t even leaking. Ghost knew his enemies were already on their way. So while shutting off all the lights at Truth he made sure to keep all the doors unlocked,” he went on.
“Notice how as soon as Dre walked in a gunshot went off. What he heard was Tariq or Tasha firing the shot but the show was fired elsewhere in the club under ghost’s command.”
As for the fall off of the balcony, the theorist claimed this would’ve been accepted as collateral damage.
They continued: “The sound of a gunshot will immediately make witnesses believe he was shot.
"In order for Ghost to completely fake his death the scene of his crime has to look official so he willingly fell over the top floor.
“Tommy only saw what ghost wanted him to see. He saw the perfect opportunity to just die in front of him.

“Whoever Tommy saw up there willingly stepped forward to show themselves as the killer so that Tommy won’t ever question whether to not Ghost faked his death.”
The idea quickly gathered momentum, with a whopping 150k views on the video at the time of publication.
Power is available to watch on Netflix.
