There were rumors going around earlier this week that Jared Padalecki is leaving Supernatural because he is planning to take off a little time from the show when his son in born in March, but when I spoke with him last week he told me he has no intentions of leaving the show.
As a fan of the show, who thinks it gets better every week, I wondered how long does he think he can continue being on Supernatural? You know because some actors get antsy when they have been working on a show as long as he has; and I was secretly hoping and wishing that he was not one of them. So here is how he answered me when I asked him that question, “Luckily for me, that is more in the writer’s hands than my hands. Right? You know what, we thought we hit our apex in season three and four, and then it got better, better and better. So we are really excited to keep it going. And the writers are thinking of new things everyday and have fun ideas to keep it exciting, fresh, funny and interesting. So we will do it as long as they can write it.”
And when it comes to how much longer the writers can keep on doing the show. I spoke with Executive Producer Robert Singer the night before I chatted with Jared, and I asked him jokingly when are they really going to kill off Sam and Dean Winchester. He told me that only the network can do that. Then when I asked him later on in the interview, if they know how they are going to end the show twenty years from now; he said, “Not a clue.” So it doesn’t look like Padalecki or the show are going any where anytime soon, unless The CW does something really stupid which they won’t because we will release the hell hounds on them.
Now back to Jared, he has done so much with his character and I wanted to know what does he want to happen with Sam that hasn’t already happened? He answered by saying, “Not specifically. I think I just want Sam to get hold of himself. Right now he is obliviously having a lot of trouble with Lucifer. His mental capacities are kind of shrinking, but I want to get back in charge of it. What always impressed me about Sam is his inner strength, and how he is able to overcome some crazy obstacles. So I want to see him do it again.” And I am sure we will because those Winchester Boys always have a away of overcoming anything and everything that is handed to them.
So find out what is handed to Jared Padalecki tonight and every Friday on The CW at 9p. Seriously Supernatural gets better and better with each and every episode.
