Shining Vale: When Did Rosemary Die?

Warning: Contains spoilers for Shining Vale episode 3.

In Shining Vale episode 3, Rosemary is properly introduced, and this introduction gives just enough clues to identify when she died, if not how. Shining Vale follows the writer Pat Phelps and her family as they try to make a fresh start in Connecticut. However, whether the house is haunted, or Pat is hallucinating because of the drugs she is taking, life is not set to be simple.

Rosemary (Mira Sorvino) is first seen in Shining Vale episode 1, where she appears at the window in one of Shining Vale’s jump scares, before later appearing to Pat Phelps (Courteney Cox) inside the house and asking her what she is doing in “my house.” In Shining Vale episode 2, Rosemary appears again, both times in the hall closet, first in Pat’s dream, and then later when Pat goes into the closet in the waking world. In Shining Vale episode 3, Rosemary gets to have a more complete conversation with Pat after Pat breaks down a wall in the closet and discovers a basement Tiki bar where Rosemary serves her a drink.

While there are a lot of hints about who Rosemary is hidden in the show, very little is solidly known about the Shining Vale character, including when she died. Robyn Court (Sherilyn Fenn) sells the Phelps the house and says it has been empty for two years, but it is clear that Rosemary died much longer ago than that. The fashion choices made by Rosemary are linked to the late 1950s or the 1960s. Similarly, the clothes and hairstyle of the child ghost (presumably Daisy) is reminiscent of the 1960s, echoing some stylistic choices made for Wednesday Addams in the 1960s The Addams Family TV series.
