Your Cheating Heart is an index, not a trope.


Suzy Darling is having a rough few days. She just walked out on her [[YourCheatingHeart unfaithful husband]], Steve, taking her children with her to her newly bought penthouse. The penthouse is beautiful with a lovely balcony and it's right next to her dental practice.

Added DiffLines:

* PsychoactivePowers: Henry's ability to use his ghostly powers (once he fully acquires them) is tied directly to how angry he is at the time. Unfortunately, so is their severity, and he can't turn them off, as he found out when he accidentally broke a vase with an angry gesture.

--->Who says romance is dead?

Suzy Darling is having a rough few days. She just walked out on her [[YourCheatingHeart unfaithful husband]], Steve, taking her children with her to her newly bought penthouse. The penthouse is beautiful with a lovely balcony and it's right next to her dental practice.

Just one problem: It's haunted by the ghost of [[PunkRock Nerve]] frontman, Henry Mallet, whom Suzy alone can see and hear. Suzy has to juggle dealing with Henry's antics and demands, raising her children, settling into her new place, running her dental practice, and dodging Steve's attempts to in turn sabotage her new life and woo her back.

''Spirited'' is an Australian {{dramedy}} on W Channel starring Claudia Karvan, Matt King, and Rodger Corser. It aired for two series, before its cancellation in 2011.

Not to be confused with ''SpiritedAway''.
