- She is All of the Other Reindeer and has a Friendless Background.
- The theme song mentions Molly saying 'never be alone again', so she is probably more lonely than she might come off as.
Apparently semi-confirmed- The first two episodes show that Molly is a little self-conscious about her being naturally overly-friendly to complete strangers and warning them away by giving them unwanted hugs and such, and she comments that whilst she has made friends before, she's also lost contact with them thanks to her dad's job forcing them to move away, which is why she displays some nervousness about staying in Brighton in private to Scratch, because she intends to make it the McGee's 'forever home' and doesn't want to mess it up. In "First Night Frights" she actually struggles a lot with her first day of school even without Scrath's direct interference, because her overly-chatty nature means she keeps putting her foot in her mouth around Andrea and thus becomes ostracized at school. If not for Scratch's interference, Molly really would have wound up The Friend Nobody Likes.
The Davenports are likely the richest family in Brighton, but only on the level of "successful business owner" by any other standard.
- There are two noteworthy moments in the song remix
video that support this idea. The first comes in at around the 0:50 mark, where she's shown being torn up over not wanting to lose her best friend, and it's framed somewhat like a love song. During the last song, My Best Friend's Bar Mitzvah, where we find out Libby's name, Molly is shown to look very fondly at her now that she's become a woman. note
- But it backfired because Molly actually liked having Scratch around. Scratch eventually got sick of haunting her and wanted to leave, but he couldn't because he'd already made the vow.
- Scratch's dialogue in the NYCC clip implies that the curse was meant to last for as long as Molly lived in Scratch's house, presumably so he could have said house all to himself. It's possible future episodes will involve Scratch doing thing to try and make Molly and her family leave.
- Confirmed.
- With the two main characters contrasting worldviews the show will give several mental wellness aesops, such as how anger is perfectly healthy thing to feel and how forcing yourself to be happy all the time is toxic.
- Its seems that Ghosts are humans who died theory is confirmed. My theory is that Scratch possibly died a tragic death.
- She is Ambiguously Brown and mentions moving a lot in the NYCC clip.
- Jossed. Her dad is Irish and her mom is Thai.
- Not combat but a supporting role tied to it, which is why they moved a lot.
- Jossed. He's a city planner.
- An alternate take of the above reasoning, constantly being reshuffled to different offices.
- He'd finally be free of Molly, but he'll be upset that it is happening. Severing of friendships by leaving is a thing that happens in a lot of these shows.
- Confirmed. Not as the show's finale, but still.
- Take your pick what sort of things are also a thing, but Molly will probably run into elves or dwarves or something. Perhaps a lot of her friends she makes also have such buds. Like 'The Elf and Libby' or 'The Vampire and Bob'.
- Something happens that causes Molly's self confidence and optimism to absolutely shatter and the poor girl becomes a sobbing mess. Her parents and brother can't get through to her, so it's all up to Scratch now.. unfortunately, he's not too much of an optimist himself so he has really no idea how to cheer her up, but he eventually manages.
- Molly's voice actress said the show's more heartwarming moments made her shed Tears of Joy. What's more heartwarming than an episode where the grumpy friend really shows he cares for his companions?
- The typical popular jerk at school who looks down on Molly for her quirks.
- Confirmed it's looks like Andrea will fit this role.
- A Ghost Hunter who wants to exorcise the McGee house.
- Scratch himself seems like he'll be in an antagonistic role at least early on in his attempts to break the curse.
- Another ghost that's bigger, scarier, and is a threat to Brighton
- Whoever is response for the curse in the first place (assuming it wasn't created by Molly or Scratch).
- Other Ghosts who don't like Scratch.
- Confirmed in the form of the Ghost Council.
- If they don't mind getting dark then possibly someone who killed Scratch and made him a ghost in the first place.
- That last one doesn't seem to be too likely considering there's an entire species of ghost in this particular universe. Odds are they're probably their own separate species like some other shows make them out to be.
- Except it was confirmed that ghosts used to be humans who died.
- That last one doesn't seem to be too likely considering there's an entire species of ghost in this particular universe. Odds are they're probably their own separate species like some other shows make them out to be.
- A person who tried to exposed Ghosts and become the Crocker to Mollys Timmy Turner and Scratchs Cosmo and Wanda.
- He's much lighter skinned than his wife or either of his kids, and neither Molly or her brother seems to have inherited his red hair. Odds are he's their step-father after something happened to their real one.. well either that, or he really got the short end of the stick in the gene pool.
- The gene pool end would make more sense. Dark hair/eyes/tanned skin are dominant traits compared to Molly's father's recessive traits.
- If that's true, Molly's biological Dad will appear in the series as a ghost.
- Semi-confirmed. While Molly is all about hugs and rainbows, there are moments that show she forces her optimism to the point of insanity such as in "Ready, Set, Snow" where Molly was the only one who wanted to play outside and briefly goes through a psychotic breakdown.
- Confirmed.
- In said episode, Molly will wonder what it's like to be a ghost and will get some first hand experience. This may or may not also involve Scratch becoming temporarily human.
- Semi-confirmed. Molly does indeed become a ghost in the Season One finale temporarily. However, Scratch doesn't become human.
- As noted in the main page, Billy Motz and Bob Roth both worked together on that show, so it's likely they might want to reference their older work in some way. It can be anything from just a dog and rabbit in the background who look like non-athromorphic versions of the titular Brandy or Whiskers, or something more similar to the show plot wise with an episode where Molly, Scratch and their family get trapped in the amazon jungle and have to live their until help arrives.
- A little predictable, but a good bet to make. Bonus points if the thing that provokes his conscience is someone teasing Molly calling her "the worst of the worst", or something to that effect.
- Confirmed, on both accounts.
- Subverted Scratch met them himself trying to scare them away but Molly convinced her family that he's nice.
- He even seems to come around a bit over the course of the intro sequence (albeit only when there are tacos). He'll stay in denial for a while until (and likely even sometime after) he finds himself actively defending her a few times.
- He'll only realize how much he appreciates her when the family moves at the end of the series run, and he too leaves the house to stay with the McGees.
Forgot to say that personally, I'm picturing an old woman as such.
- That was part of DTVA's April Fools joke for 2021, so jossed before this theory could even be written.
- Think of Zack Underwood and his fear of flying fish.
- Turns out Molly has Arachnophobia. One little tarantula is enough to send her into a panic.
- It turns out she already learn about the Ghost Council beforehand and Scratch has revealed it in the first few episodes.
- In the recent episodes, Scratch seems to have told Molly about the Ghost Council, and acknowledges how he must try to ensure his quota meets the Council's standards.
- Scratch the Surface has Libby finally discovering about Scratch and it's not dramatic as it seems. In fact, she and Scratch fights for the position on who will be Molly's number one best friend.
Failing that, Scratch can always haunt her.
- "Saving Christmas" really seems to want to suggest that Andrea's Freudian Excuse is her parents. They, especially her father, have the same vices as her (extreme selfishness, Bad Influencer tendencies), which they've raised Andrea to share. Her redemption arc will be to break away from her upbringing.
- A little dark, but if this were the case, then that means Scratch would've had a life of some sort in the past. And the way he died could possibly be a plot point somehow.
- Unlikely considering Scratch is surprised by the scoring.
- Food Poisoning
- Related: Ghosts still do scare but they use it in ways that make humans happy (like spooking up a haunted house for charity or morale) or against nefarious types (like having a ghost act as a security system for their adopted family). Meanwhile, the Council is a reoccurring antagonist ensemble, trying to sway ghosts back to the old system.
- Given how Andrea manage to rule the entire school with a simple Death Glare and how Molly has a tendency to humiliate her, Andrea will eventually assume a villainous role that involves her trying to run the Molly and her family out of town in the finale.
- She has blue hair like a male ghost, pink clothes like a female ghost, really pale skin in comparison to everyone else, looks much more colorful than pretty much everything in Brighton (even the McGees who just moved out) and she overall sticks out like a sore thumb design-wise to everyone else in the show.
- Why not? He has the experience.
- Alternatively, he could voice the Chairman.
- Just like Dana Snyder's previous works, this could be a nice shout-out to Chowder, another cartoon that both actors used to work on.
- Unlikely, as Jones retired from voice acting soon after Chowder ended, and is now a young man.
- Given that Andrea has a rivalry with Molly, she might become The Dragon for the Big Bad of the show.
- He doesn't attend Libby's Bat Mitzvah, despite what looks to be his side of the family attending (and being on good terms with Libby's mom). Libby and her mother both go by the surname Stein-Torres, which doesn't suggest divorce (surely Libby's mother would switch back to her maiden name, which is presumably Torres alone). For all we know, in her candle lighting ceremony, she was about to mention her (already deceased) father as she did with her grandparents but once Molly left, her anxiety kicked in and she choked.
- Considering that this would have been an OOC Pet the Dog moment for them if they hadn't known, this troper agrees.
- She did.
- Confirmed. The season 1 finale has her and Scratch sent into the Flow of Failed Phantoms only for Molly's positivity to destroy it, setting all the banished ghosts free.
- Alternatively, given the progress of pop culture, the team will be a bunch of "bros" with cameras trying to get their reality TV show renewed.
- Kind of confirmed. Mr. Davenport is greedy and selfish, but is shown to have a Freudian Excuse and loves Andrea.
As Andrea starts entering Molly's friendship circle, she'll learn that Andrea and Libby were once friends, but had a falling out (possibly connected to the bedwetting at the sleepover), and the episode will be Molly getting them to rekindle their friendship.
- Sort of confirmed. "The Jig is Up" ends with Scratch being forced back to the ghost world to stand trial and be banished to the Flow of Failed Phantoms for his friendship with Molly.
- Sort of Confirmed.
Now that Molly has destroyed both, the Council has no one to enforce their will. Much like a mafia that has lost its don or a dictatorship that has lost its dictator, there will be conflicts in the Ghost World over who controls things. Some of the things that could happen:
- Ghosts that like joy will conflict with ghosts that hate joy. The Ghost World will be split schizophrenically between the gloom we saw in Season 1 and joy like the kind Molly brought.
- With no threat of punishment anymore, rogue ghosts won't have any inhibitions from wreaking genuine havoc on the human world (instead of just spreading misery).
- The Council (and Jinx) won't be keen to give up their power so easily, and now they have a personal reason to scheme against Molly and Scratch beyond a mere petty dislike.
- Alternately, Scratch, after encouraging the council to relax
, will realize that the Council can't follow their bliss all the time and need structure. There will be an election for the new Chairman, and Scratch will run for it.
- A ghost hunter.
- A returning Jinx, who is simultaneously now the new Chairman. Disney has recently confirmed that someone will become a new Chairman, and since the Council seems to be becoming good guys, this seems likely.
- Libby is included in the family group hug.

- Adding on to this, both are voiced by Dana Snyder.
- When her Mom called her her miracle, it's not just her being cute. This is also why Libby seems somewhat sickly at times.
- It could also be a factor for why her family seems quite poor - medical bills.
- in the first episode when Molly mispronounced her name she got angry at her. Andrea's name is very special to her.
- Jules Medcraft, Andrea's voice actress, might be using this role to come out as a trans person.
- Eh, maybe they fixed the odd legalese about show crossovers since the Star days?
