13 ‘Supernatural’ Characters Who Should Return For the Final Episodes
With only seven episodes to go, set to air this fall on the CW, it’s almost time to say goodbye to characters we’ve followed for 15 seasons — Sam and Dean Winchester (Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles).
But before Supernatural‘s farewell, we’re hoping to see some familiar faces beyond the ones that have already been announced. And since the CW drama has proven time and time again that death doesn’t mean the end, that includes those who have long passed, like our Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver) and the Harvelle mother-daughter duo. There are also a couple whose returns would make sense, like Eileen (Shoshannah Stern).
Scroll down for the characters we’d love to see one last time.
Supernatural, Final Episodes, Fall 2020, The CW
Bobby Singer (Jim Beaver)
Ideally, it would be great to see both the original and apocalypse world versions of the character. After all, the former was like a father to Sam and Dean until his death in Season 7 (and then he returned as a ghost) and the latter is still very much in the hunting business. Whether it’s through flashbacks (or some other way) for the original Bobby or part of the final season fight against God (Rob Benedict) for the apocalypse world version, Beaver needs to return one more time before the end.
Crowley (Mark Sheppard)
The former King of Hell sacrificed himself to keep Lucifer (Mark Pellegrino) in the apocalypse world in the Season 12 finale, and he’s only been mentioned since. He worked against and with the Winchesters — including when Dean was a demon after dying with the Mark of Cain — and while we don’t want to see anything that negates his ending, there are plenty of ways to bring him back.
Eileen Leahy (Shoshannah Stern)
A character who has died and come back — alive! — the hunter was in the middle of the fight against God earlier in the season … until the one formerly known as Chuck Shurley forced her to cut into Sam. As she left, Sam kissed her goodbye, and it’s impossible to imagine the series ending without her rejoining the fight (and getting some revenge on God) and seeing what could be between the hunters in the future.
John Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan)
Morgan’s 300th episode return did provide some closure for the boys and their father without messing with the timeline when John was transported to the bunker from the past due to a spell. But the series started with the three Winchesters, and it would only be fitting to see the one who got Sam and Dean into the hunting life as part of its farewell.
The Wayward Sisters
Though the CW didn’t pick up the spinoff (Supernatural‘s second attempt), its would-be cast of characters is very much part of the Winchesters’ extended family and we’ve seen most of them since that Season 13 episode. (Kim Rhodes’ Jody Mills just brought Yadira Guevara-Prip’s Kaia home from the Bad Place in Episode 12 of this season.) Why not have hunters Jody, Donna Hanscum (Briana Buckmaster), Claire Novak (Kathryn Newton), Alex Jones (Katherine Ramdeen), Kaia, and Patience (Clark Backo) — or at least some of them — back for one more fight, God-related or not?
Ellen and Jo Harvelle (Samantha Ferris and Alona Tal)
Among the Winchesters’ early allies were these two hunters, who went out together. (Jo was injured, and Ellen refused to leave her daughter, but they took out hellhounds as they died.) Both have returned since (on separate occasions, in an alternate timeline and as a ghost), but wouldn’t it be great to see them together again in some capacity?

What about Charlie?

I always wondered what happened to the younger twin witches from several seasons back where the sister died and the brother brought her back to life with dark magic. They appeared in 2 episodes, then they just disappeared.

Forget John what about Charlie, couple people also want to know what happened to Jesse......he could kick Gods butt. Right now while I’m waiting for it to finish being filmed I started yesterday rewatching from the beginning for the 60 something time . My mom was laughing at me cause I know every word they are going to say before they say it. She said you sure love those boys don’t you. My thoughts ....if only I wasn’t sick and you had to pay for all that medicine and my shots I take every night maybe I could meet them just once.for you Dean 🍔 and Sam 🥗

I love Supernatural! Such a great group of actors. I just wish it would keep on! There are some characters that I don’t care for but they are either killed off or made to love!

Ellen no Jo after the 1st ep they turned her into a lovesick sighing moron. Wayward Sisters without the bratty rude Claire who jumps first looks later and doesn't care if she gets someone killed. Kaia could hopefully learned to be less of a racist idiot. Jody would rock especially if she got to meet AU Bobby has anyone told her about him? Technically Mary started all 3 Winchesters in hunting. Would adore Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Sam Smith unfortunately she's currently fighting breast cancer so even if she's up to it her immune system most likely isn't. Still would love an ep on the Winchesters with the idiot teens taking up most of the episode leaving the Winchesters to be the B plot and a afterthought.
