‘Supernatural’ Season 7: Colin Ford to return as Young Sam, Directed by Jensen Ackles [Zap2It.Com]
We always love a peek into our favorite characters’ pasts, so we’re going to just go ahead and call this excellent news.
“Supernatural” begins production on Season 7 in Vancouver in early July — and reps confirm to Zap2it exclusively that Colin Ford, one of our favorite recurring guest stars, will be returning as young Sam Winchester for the third episode, tentatively titled “The Girl Next Door.”
Brock Kelly, who played opposite Ford as young Dean Winchester, is on deck to return for Season 7 as well. Though contracts have not been officially signed, Kelly’s reps confirm to Zap2it, “There is a strong possibility that he will return.”
UPDATE: Warner Bros. tells Zap2it that Kelly will not be appearing in episode 703. Reps for Kelly tell us that he is in discussions for future episodes.
We’re told that the episode involves Sam (Jared Padalecki) having flashbacks to when he was 15 years old, when a girl named Amy saved his life and tried to convince him to run away with her.
In the present day, Sam and Amy meet again, and he finds that she’s settled into a “normal” life with a son and a steady job.
The episode, expected to air on October 7, is to be directed by series star Jensen Ackles. It will be the first episode of Season 7 filmed, in order for Ackles to have sufficient prep time. Ackles previously directed fan favorite episode “Weekend at Bobby’s” in Season 6.
Ford first appeared as young Sam in Season 3′s “A Very Supernatural Christmas.” He returned in Season 4′s “After School Special” and “When The Levee Breaks,” and Season 5′s “Dark Side of the Moon.” The 14-year-old actor has an impressive resume which includes roles on “Hawaii Five-0,” “CSI: Miami,” and “Family Guy.”

‘Jared Padalecki’ Will Never Leave ‘Supernatural’

Jared Padalecki has insisted that he has no plans to leave Supernatural to pursue a film career.
The actor told Next Movie that he will remain “loyal” to the CW drama until it concludes.
Padalecki said: “If it weren’t for Supernatural, I wouldn’t have a lot of the blessings that I have today, so I’m going to play it out. I’m going to give it my all.“
He added: “I’ll be with the cast and crew for the remainder [of the show's run], as long as the fans want us on the air and the network obliges.“
However, Padalecki, who plays Sam Winchester, admitted that he would “love” to star in movies once Supernatural has come to an end.
“I’m still pretty young,” he said. “I’m not going to be 29 for another month, so if the show goes another year, I’m 30. If it goes for five years, I’m 34.“
“I think I’m hopefully in the dawn of my career, not in the dusk, so I think I’d be happier sticking it out with Supernatural.“
Padalecki previously starred in 2005 film House of Wax and also appeared in the 2009 remake of Friday the 13th.
Supernatural will return to Fridays at 9/8c in the fall on The CW.

Ask Ausiello
Question: Do you know if there are any plans for Supernatural to do another meta-ish episode next season? Or was last season’s “The French Mistake” the last one? —Annie
Ausiello: Sounds like the fourth wall will come crumbling down yet again. “We have not put the kibosh on meta,” insists exec producer Sera Gamble. “It’s completely about somebody pitching a story that would work for us.” Gamble acknowledges that “The French Mistake” — in which Sam and Dean were transported to an alt-reality where they were “Jared Padalecki” and “Jensen Ackles,” the stars of a TV series called Supernatural — will be tough to top. “We set a pretty high bar,” she concedes. “But hey, I thought we were never going to be able to do meta again long before ‘The French Mistake.’ And then that got pitched, and we had to do it, of course. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point in Season 7 or beyond, someone pitches something that enables us to do a fun episode like that again.”
Spoiler Room [EW.Com]
Ack! Supernatural makes me both happy and crazy. Happy because I loved watching the Winchesters brothers reconnect and hope they stay like this for awhile. Crazy because of the season 6 cliffhanger. Any spoilers/info yet on season 7? There’s a chicken pot pie in it for you if you have anything to share! – Zora
Will a Spoiler Room exclusive on the season 6 DVD (official release date Sept. 13) do the trick? In addition to the features you might have already heard will be on the DVD set (like the Jensen Ackles: A Director’s Journey featurette, the Supernatural and the Quest for the Soul featurette, and two episodes of the anime series) I’m told EPs Robert Singer and Ben Edlund and showrunner Sera Gamble will do commentary on “Clap Your Hands If you Believe” and “The French Mistake.” I personally love commentary from the bosses because they’re the ones who know where everything is headed. You never know what they might reveal…

Ask Ausiello
Question: Can you please interview Misha Collins about his reduced Supernatural role next season? My life may depend on it. —Marcia
Ausiello: We tried, but the dude’s not talking. Perhaps he wants to lay low until the storm passes — assuming it does, in fact, pass. “We have passionate fans,” acknowledges exec producer Sera Gamble. “We have fans that have strong opinions about a lot of things that happen on the show. People ask me if I’m worried about a fan backlash [in the wake of Collins' demotion]. We just want to tell a good story and not be redundant and bring you interesting stories that are fresh. Going into Season 7, we have a new, interesting story that we want to tell to you. That’s what’s front of mind right now.”
Question: Now that Misha Collins is no longer a regular on Supernatural, any chance Jim Beaver will get a much-deserved promotion? —Joel
Ausiello: Doesn’t sound like it. “We have a fantastic relationship with Jim,” says Gamble. “We bring him in as the story demands it. He’s basically a fixture on the show as necessary.”
