WHAT THE FUCK, SUPER!!!!
It’s official: Mitch Pileggi is returning to Supernatural as Sam and Dean’s presumed-dead grandpa - and not for some one-off guest stint. As I first teased in Ask Ausiello, the X-Files vet will appear on a recurring basis throughout season 6.
“I’m a longtime fan of Mitch’s work,” gushes executive producer/new showrunner Sera Gamble. “And we all thought he did an amazing job the first time around, so we’re excited he was game to [return].”
What brings Gramps back? “For one thing, he’s a Campbell - from Sam and Dean’s mom’s side of the family,” reminds Gamble, “which, unlike their dad’s, has actually been into hunting for a very long time. There’s a whole side of Sam and Dean’s history that they know nothing about. We’ll get to find out a bit about it this season.”
In other Supe news, the show is on the prowl for an actor in his late-30s to mid-40s to play the recurring role of Christian. Described as “capable, calm under pressure, and very good at his job,” Christian has a special relationship to Sam and Dean.
Thoughts on who this Christian character is? And are you pumped for the return of Pileggi? Hit the comments!

WHY, YES. WE ARE BRINGING BACK EVERYONE EXCEPT MARKSHA. WHY DO YOU ASK?
FUCK.
*ahem* Haven't they had fake casting calls/sides before though? Is it possible that "Christian" is actually Nick? Because Nick is a hunter AND Sam and Dean's long-lost uncle? /cracktheory>
Anyway, the next person we hear about returning HAD BETTER BE MARK FUCKING PELLEGRINO. DO YOU HEAR ME, CW????
