Jeffrey Dean Morgan Wants to Return to Supernatural This Season

The Comedian would like to return to his Supernatural roots, one last time.

Morgan is perhaps best known as Edward Blake aka the Comedian from Zack Snyder's adaption of 'Watchmen'.

But a lot of people don't know that Morgan previously stared in the Fantasy/ Horror/Comedy 'Supernatural' as John Winchester, the father of the series main characters Dean and Sam played by Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki.



Season five of the popular show premiered last week on the CW and it seems that this may be it's last. The show's creator Eric Kripke stating that he had always envisioned the series ending after five years. What many fans, including myself, want to know is this: will Jeffrey Dean Morgan return to the show as John Winchester before its all over?

Morgan last appearance on the show was season two when John's soul escaped from hell and appeared to go to heaven, although that fact was never confirmed. It would be nice to see him, but it is unknown at the moment with Morgan's busy schedule.

MovieWeb's Jami Philbrick ogt this exclusive interview with John Winchester himeslf on whetehr or not he would be returning:

Jami Philbrick: "Jeffrey, do you have any plans on returning to Supernatural? Or are you too busy with your film career now to make an appearance?"

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: "I don't know? I just read somewhere that (Eric) Kripke wants me back. That guy, I think he's probably lying, but if it is in fact the last year, I'd like to come back. If it really is going to be cancelled after this year then I'd like to come back. I've been saying for the last four years that that storyline got cut out too soon. I'd love to go back for at least one episode or something. I love those guys. I love Jared and Jenson so much. We'll see. No one has contacted me."

Jami Philbrick: "There have been rumors that Kripke's planning on wrapping up the arc that started with season one, this season, and possibly doing a new kind of series after that."

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: "I heard that, too. Getting new actors and everything. Jared and Jenson wouldn't even be in it, just to fulfill his seven years. I don't know if that's even allowed and, by the way, I can't imagine Warner Brothers saying, "Yeah, that's cool. You can get rid of Jared and Jenson." They were going to take on secondary characters, maybe? I just don't see that happening. If you take out Jared and Jenson, you're going to lose 90 percent of your audience, probably. I can't imagine them doing that, but it makes for great news if you say that kind of stuff. I can't imagine that. Warner Brothers is just like, "Yeah, whatever dude. We'll see you next year." But yeah, I'd love to go back. I don't know how I'd find the time, but we'll see."

Well I for one hope to see him return to the show at least once.

Please don't shred this, this is my first article. And don't believe that there is a Supernatural comic? Well there have been two comic series based off of the show.

Yes!!! He was brilliant in Supernatural and his return would be a great way to wrap up Supernatural's ongoing storyline from the past 4 seasons!!! :)

Say, that guy in the middle of that photo above would make a great Captain America... ;D

This is given me the inspiration to finish my Joker story (Which features Morgan as Deadsot)

And my Avengers 2 and Captain America stories (Both feature Ackles as Cap and Padelekeie as Rick Jones)

Hmm, first time a show stops at it's high point. I'd hate to see the series cancelled. But i what i would hate more is to see this series going the same road as smallville did with that last season.

Oh, please bring JDM back as pa Winchester! And if they got rid of Sam and Dean in that black car it just would not be Supernatural anymore! If they're going to wrap up the storyline then just wrap up the series! I love this show! Don't screw with it!

I love how Dean told the Angels and the Demons and everybody else to just go to hell in the season opener! Dean is the MAN! It's time for the Winchester boys to just kick ass and take names and get on with killin' things that go bump in the night! Yee-ha-a-a-ah!!!

He'll be back for this season. The Season just started, and I expect the show to bring him back. They have alot of outher characters coming back to make a appearnces. Next week its Ellen and Joe Ann, The show will be bring back Sam's ex girlfriend Jessica, Their mother will be making a appearnce on the show, and so is the trickster. Everything Eric Kripke has plan is coming in full completment.

Their have been rumors that the show will be back for a 6th season because Jensen and Jared are signed for a 6th season according to them through interviews. The only problem is Eric Kripke is only sign for a 5th season. Eric Kripke said in Comic COn that if he's sign for a 6th season he will have a complete new story for the Winchesters Brothers, because he doesn't plan on holding this storyline for another season if he gets a new contract from WB.

The spin offs from the show is just B.S. it wouldn't be the same.

I live in the UK so Season 5 wont be on here for God knows how long but Ij ust watched it on the internet (as i do with all my favourite US TV shows) and damn, that was bloody brilliant!!! :)

Yeah that would make sense if he came back! The angels use him to convince Dean to be St. Michaels vessil. It would be something he would do.

I just had a crazy thought. They said that a major plot poin tof the season would be the Winchesters searching for God so he can kill Lucifer. Lucifer needed a vessel, what if God took the form of John Winchester.

What do you think?
DDD
DDD - 9/14/2009, 11:39 PM
JDM as God? Now that's typecasting! :D

Brilliant idea @Hawk!

THEHAWK - 9/15/2009, 12:12 AM
Glad you liked it man. And I could see the writers doing something like that, just to screw with the Winchesters.

There was a rumour that Wentworth Miller would be playing Lucifer which I think would have been great but the guy they've got seems pretty good.

After the events in the first episode [Spoiler] I think that God is probably back in charge after Sam and Dean were saved and Castiel was ressurected [End Spoiler] so its posible that maybe John will in fact be brought back to help fight off Armageddon!!! :)

Season 5?! I'm in the UK and have only just started watching the 1st season! And that's supposed to be "new to the "Living" channel.

LEEE777 - the more of this show you watch the more you will warm up to Ackles as Cap! I know I said he couldn't stand up to RDJ and co in Avengers but the more I think about it, the more I realise it could work well.

Shibazz- Jensen and Jeffrey are both huge, But Jared is like 7'10" or somethin' making them look tiny :(

@hawk and joshw, great ideas guys. never thought of either of those possibilities. and If this is the last season (hopefully it wont be) I cant see them not bringing him in for at least one episode. btw Supernaturals one of the best shows ever
THEPHOENIX
THEPHOENIX - 9/15/2009, 4:31 PM
@Shaman. I LOVE the Jensen sketches. he is SO hot. and a good actor as well! I can't wait to see your sketch of Domino! But I know that you are busy, and keeping birdboy busy as well... bastards ;-P
flames809
flames809 - 9/15/2009, 6:52 PM
