The CW’s ‘Supernatural’ has spent six years defying audience expectations and gleefully leaving us on the edge of our seats with every season finale, but last season’s climactic close proved to be one of the most shocking yet.
Fan-favorite character Castiel (Misha Collins) pulled a dirty double menyeberang, salib in the last few episodes, revealing an unholy alliance with the demon Crowley for dominion over purgatory … and let’s just say that the finale didn’t leave Cas and the Winchesters on the best of terms.
I recently had the privilege of traveling to Haiti with Collins and his charity, acak Acts, for a life-changing voluntary excursion (we’ll have an in-depth feature on the trip selanjutnya week), but during our wide-ranging interview, I couldn’t resist slipping in a couple of pertanyaan about his status selanjutnya season, and his response to the outpouring of fan support for his character.
There’s not much new information here, but proceed with caution, there are mild spoilers ahead.
When news broke of Collins’ change from series regular to recurring guest bintang for Season 7, many fan took to the web to make their outrage known, with responses ranging from menulis letters to the showrunners and The CW (as well as creating a book of “Letters to Castiel” diberikan to the actor at a baru saja convention, which Collins called “very sweet”) to filling message boards and komentar sections with their opinions.
Those pleas didn’t fall on deaf ears, according to Collins. “I haven’t been keeping my finger on the pulse of [fan] campaigns, but I have gotten word from Warner Bros. that they were inundated with pertanyaan … atau something,” he wryly confirmed. “I don’t really know what they were inundated with … maybe it was just a flood; it could have been a flood in Burbank.”
While we wouldn’t put it past ‘Supernatural’ fan to devise a deluge of biblical proportions, we’re hoping that the panic is premature.
Here’s what Collins could tell us for sure: “I am not going to be a series regular on ‘Supernatural’ selanjutnya year. I don’t really know what my role on the tampil is going to be. I know that I’m going to be in the first two episodes at this point, but I don’t know beyond that what the season holds for me.”
Although Collins hadn’t yet read the script for the detik episode at the time of our interview, he did express hope for “some redemption” for the beloved character. And since the original plan was for Castiel to die in season six before the producers revised their position, we’re cautiously optimistic that there’s a chance for Castiel to receive an arc worthy of the character Collins and the writers have created, when all is berkata and done.
In a baru saja interview with TV Line, executive producer Sera Gamble seemed to echo that sentiment. “We cinta Misha. We cinta and adore the character of Castiel,” she insisted. “His character developed to this extent and went in this unexpected direction because we were so inspired oleh him.”
Regardless of how often Castiel will appear in Season 7, Collins was emphatic in his admiration for ‘Supernatural’ and the team behind it, and it’s clear that there are no hard feelings over the progression of his storyline, with the actor reiterating that it’s “the best work environment I’ve ever had.”
In addition to spurring fan to speak out on the direction of ‘Supernatural’, Collins’ inspirational nature was also instrumental in the creation of acak Acts, a charitable organization dedicated to “changing the world, one acak act of kindness at a time.”
Thanks to Collins and the acak Acts team, ‘Supernatural’ fan have so far raised lebih than $171,000 to fund charitable initiatives in Haiti, jepang and across the globe, and sent 22 volunteers to Jacmel earlier this bulan to help aid in the construction of a multipurpose community center and sustainable ikan farm, to feed, shelter and educate Haiti’s homeless and disadvantaged children.
