E!Online‘s Kristin Dos Santos answered a fans question about Grandpa Campbell in her article posted yesterday. Sadly the answer is not good!
L
Question: Soooo excited about Mitch Pileggi joining the cast. Please tell me he’s really down from heaven like he says! “I want to believe.” – Jamie in Boston
Kristen: “Sadly, we hear that it’s not a good idea to trust Supernatural’s newest hunter, aka Sam and Dean’s apparently resurrected grandpa, Samuel Campbell. Phooey.” I double that Kristen!
– Okay, so here’s one I missed during premier week. SpoilerTV released a new snippet about episode 6.09, “Clap Your Hands If You Believe”. Seems it will feature a UFO hunter! Ha…how about that!
Update September 27 2010:
– A new interview with Executive Producer Eric Kripke and New Show Runner Sera Gamble was posted by with
Christina Radish on
Collider recently. Eric Kripke talks about the new story arc and Sera Gamble about some interesting ideas for upcoming episodes. Excerpts below.
Question: Is it a new arc that’s starting?
Eric: Yes, but I don’t know how long this plan is. I know it’s at least a year. It may go beyond. As we did in the beginning of the show, somewhere around the middle of the season, we’ll get a really good sense about whether there’s going to be a year after this. We have different plans in place. I think it can go longer. It’s certainly designed to go longer, if it wants to, but it’s a different feel. It’s a whole new mythology. If up until now, it’s been Star Wars, Truck Stop America and The Lord of the Rings, now it’s L.A. Confidential and Chinatown. It’s noir, gritty, down to the earth, twisty and the mythology keeps taking left turns on you. It’s going to have a really different feel. It’s going to be the difference between Alien and Aliens, with the same subject matter and character, but different filmmakers bring a different style to it. Sera [Gamble] really has her own style. It’s going to be the characters you love, but in a really different tone, which I think is really exciting.
Question: How noir will the show get?
Eric: It isn’t so much shadows and trench coats, but no one is who they seem, everyone has ulterior motives, and there are a lot of twists and double-crosses.
Question: Will the Ghostfacers return this season?
Sera: They might. We haven’t slotted them into a story yet, and the Ghostfacers are giant mega-stars on the Internet. But, every now and then, we’ll have a story idea and we’ll be like, “Who could do that? The Ghostfacers could do that!” So, it’s just a matter of time before they show up. It’s just about story.
Question: With Mitch Pileggi returning in a recurring role, how will the Campbell family’s history and where the boys’ mother came from play into the story this season?
Sera: Ever since we discovered that Sam and Dean’s mother was a hunter, and she was from a long line of hunters, this was something that stuck in the writer’s room that we talked about a lot. There could be these hunters out there that Sam and Dean didn’t know about, that were these family members that they had never met or heard of. They’re really good hunters, but they only work with each other. They’re monster specialists and they’ve been around for a really, really long time. We wanted to do a story about the Campbell’s for a long time, and the fact that there is such a monster problem in the mythology, it was a good reason to bring them in. There are a lot of stories about origins this season – the origins of Sam and Dean, and the origins of monsters.
Question: Are we going to see young John and Mary again?
Sera: We want to. We’re just working on the first batch of episodes. They’re definitely up on the board. We love them. Those actors are fantastic and, if we can flashback to them again, we will. As soon as the right story comes out, we’ll bring them back.
Sera Gamble also said she would be “up for doing more seasons, if this goes well.”

J). Also, a deep secret about Cowley will be revealed this SPN installment.
– Kristin of
E!Online answers a fans question about Sam’s character from her ‘insiders’ source.
Question: Ahhh! Why no Supernatural scoop lately? It’s premiering this week! Mostly, I need to know if Sam is evil this season? – Melody in Memphis
Kristin: “Insiders tell us that while Sam (Jared Padelecki) isn’t full-bore evil this season, there is something genuinely off about Sammeh that plays out over the course of the first half of the year. Don’t get comfortable with the reunited Winchester brothers in a couple of episodes; just because the boys are back together doesn’t mean everything is OK. Remember: No good ever comes of a vacation in hell.”
Still wondering if the powers will return!

Fancast has an exclusive cast spoiler about the episode “You Can’t Handle The Truth”

As Dean and Sam delve into the maudlin mystery, they determine that each victim had been exposed to a brutal truth that quite literally drove them crazy.
Swan’s character, I am told, may turn out to be in possession of information that could shed light on the brothers’ investigation, just as one of Winchesters is forced to comes to terms with a hard truth of his own – one that could send his sibling reeling!”

Michael Ausiello from EW spoke to Sera Gamble about the upcoming Supernatural episode spoofing vampires. The CW thriller’s producers are well aware that they are sticking their necks out: How can they parody the genre without ridiculing a little show called The Vampire Diaries? Ausiello’s answer, “For starters, you never refer to that series in your script.”
Executive Producer Sera Gamble says, “I don’t think there’s currently a [Vampire Diaries] mention in the episode.” She continues, “But part of the thing is finding a balance between, say, [showing] a poster from the actual show and having Sam and Dean really speak their minds. We don’t want to offend.”
To that end, Gamble suggests, if the Brothers Winchester end up “saying something disparaging” about a particular fang-centric franchise-like, for instance, Twilight-the target will be “slightly fictionalize[d].”
Besides, in this case, Gamble insists that mockery is the sincerest form of flattery. “I think The Vampire Diaries is a really good show,” she insists. “And I’ve seen all the Twilight movies. I’m certainly not coming at this from a place of feeling superior to them. I have great respect.”
Update September 15 2010:
– Spoiler TV has posted a scan (Thanks to fallenstar88) from the latest TV Guide issue. More information about the upcoming season. Seems Bobby had his hands full with Crowley and the 10 year deal he made.
“Monsters, INC: When the season opens, a year has passed and Sam finally reunites with Dean. He needs his bro back in the hunt when Earth’s monsters start acting strangely. Gamble plans to explore the origins of these creatures in a season-long arc. It’s not just demons: Look for fairies, shape-shifters, genies and the return of “terrifyingly awful vampires”, she reveals.
Allied Forces: The siblings could get help in their fight from the Campbells, a secretive clan of hunters led by their presumed-dead maternal grandpa, Samuel _Mitch Pileggi). Also Angle ally Castiel (Misha Collins) is MIA, tending to the one remaining archangel and a decimated Heaven. The Winchester’s mentor Bobby (Jim Beaver) schemes to break his deal with wily demon Crowley (Mark Sheppard), which has him headed to hell in a decade.”
