− | + | Later Ghostley's character "Esmerelda" was introduced as a regular on the series in 1969, after the May 1968 death of [[Marion Lorne]], the actress who played the lovable-but-befuddled "Aunt Clara". The studio wanted another comedic-actress to be introduced to the series to replace her, but in a different role. Esmerelda is typically summoned with Samantha needs a babysitter. She is a shy bundle-of-nerves who often fades slowly away when nervous.</td></tr></table> | |
