Thanks to Sylvia for the heads up.
Look, we know this Q&A with Supernatural star Jared Padalecki is long. We know attention spans are short these days. But when you have a chance to sit down with such a beloved actor on such a creative show, you can't cut his words short when he has so much to share about grieving a father figure's death, working with favorite returning guest stars, driving down the "crazy" road for his character, and of course, the possibility of love and/or shirtless scenes to come on-screen. So all we will say is enjoy the Supernatural scoop!
LA TV Insider Examiner: We don’t want to harp on Bobby’s death, but we do need to bring it up for a minute. It seemed like Sam was much more okay with his death than we expected. Do you see that as maybe a little bit of Soulless Sam creeping back in, as the wall is destroyed, or does he just have to be the stronger brother right now?
Jared Padalecki: For me, I feel like Sam being okay-ish with it is not that it’s Soulless Sam creeping back in, but that Sam has so much on his plate with the hallucinations and with Lucifer coming in and out of his vision that he’s having a difficult time staying on solid ground, let alone being able to focus on his emotions. It’s almost as if you have a bad, bad injury, you don’t think about how tired you are, you just think about that injury. So he’s just thinking about that injury, so to speak…It’s not that he doesn’t miss Bobby, it’s that he thinks his brother has been drinking too much, and he has something that’s huge on his plate that he doesn’t want to take over. He’s putting on a brave face right now, but he’s pretty messed up.
How much will Sam have to step in and kind of take care of his brother, in the next few episodes, instead of the other way around, as it's always been?
J.P.: That happens quite a bit from here on out. Sam finds himself in a situation where Dean’s always been the sturdy, gruff guy, not really paying attention to his emotion. But now Sam, by virtue of he can’t pay attention to his emotion anymore, is having to go be the strong guy and ‘Hey, this is the way things need to get done.’ He doesn’t have time to think of everything else.
