Return(s):
Rob Benedict (TV: "Kings of Con"), Sterling K. Brown (TV: "This Is Us"; Film: "Black Panther"), Katie Cassidy(-Rodgers) (TV: "Arrow"), Lauren Cohan (TV: "The Walking Dead", "Whisky Cavalier")*, Mark Sheppard (TV: "Battlestar Galactica", "Leverage", "White Collar", "Warehouse 13", "Doctor Who" (UK), "Doom Patrol"), Emily Swallow (TV: "The Mentalist", "Timeless")
(* = Maybe Bela Talbot could be one of the entities that got out of hell/purgatory in the Season 14-finale. By now, possibly a spirit or has become a demon. If a demon, maybe just a regular one, a crossroads demon or even one that has risen through the ranks. In terms of returning topside, amongst the living, Bela has found a way back to her own body to use as a meat suit. With her skill set as a thief / supernatural artificat procurer (back in Season 3), seems reasonable she could pull that off. If not that, maybe comes back possessing a character we've seen before or an actor I would like to see guest star on the show... Like say: Freema Agyeman ("Doctor Who", "New Amsterdam"), Katie McGrath ("Merlin", "Supergirl"), Georgia Moffett ("Doctor Who", "Merlin"), Jaime Murray ("Warehouse 13"), Perdita Weeks ("Magnum P.I."). That's if Bela is being sedimental or is very attached to her British identity. (Also, on the casting list, I would like to mention Lexa Doig (--I know she already appeared on the series as a different character back in Season 5, Episode: "The End"--but maybe as that character in the main-verse / timeline of events or as a different one entirely--) and Katrina Law. Both have recurring roles on "Arrow" and aren't British. But, I think their performances and characters on "Arrow" are great and prove they could play Bela. Now, back to character details. It would be interesting to see her character get more developed. Maybe she's as bad as before or as the rest of the demons or comes back redeemed or somewhat good / helps the Winchesters and company; in kind to selfish ends / means / like what's in it for her or not go back to hell / purgatory...)

Reference / Homage(s):
Film(s):
"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (Wiene, 1920, Germany) (--Early horror / 'silent' film / German Expressionism) (--Rob Zombie / Joseph Kahn's 1999 music video for "Living Dead Girl" paid homage/did their take on it/adapted like)
TV:
"The Twilight Zone" (1959 - 1964) (--Note: Maybe w/ a nod to the reboot on CBS All Access presently by Jordan Peele?)
Storyline(s):
Character(s) replace Chuck Shurley / Caver Edlund / 'God' as God (Maybe: Amara / The Darkness, Castiel, Jack, and/or committee of gods/angels instead of just one god/God alone - like a democracy or something...)
Trope(s): Characters/Casting (Versions) / Alternate Universe/Timeline / Multi-verse (Time travel / AU (or other timeline / dimension - ex. Apocalypse World of Season 13) has been used before and m-v. was sort of hinted at in the Season 14-finale...I think...) / Gender Swap (Dream/Spell/Hallucination?) (Or fanfiction / fan convention / alternating story line /universe like the "book" versions by Chuck Shirley / Becky and/or thinking along the lines of sort of like "Adventure Time" (Animated series, 2007 / 2010 - 2018, Cartoon Network) - Ice King's fanfiction / female versions of Finn and Jake: Fiona and Cake.) (Other alt. versions of lead characters: from / set in the UK / England, brother and sister instead of two brothers, different race/ethnicity or sexual orientation / of the LBGTQ+ community.)
- Gender Swap: Casting Ideas: ex. Sophia Bush ("Chicago P.D.") as Dean (or: "Deanna" like Mary Winchester's mother whom Dean was named after) and Bitsie Tulloch ("Grimm") as Sam ("-/Samantha") (--Technically, Bitsie is about a year older than Sophia...but I think they are a good fit for those roles.)
- Version: UK / England: ex. Bradley James ("Merlin") as Dean and Domhnall Gleeson ("Harry Potter" films, "Star Wars" - current trilogy) as Sam (--Yes, I know, both actors were born in 1983 and are about 4-5 months apart in age... They do have the height thing, where the younger sibling is taller than the older. Bradley is 6' and Domhnall is 6'1". Yeah, not by much...) (Oh! If there was a UK version of the series or AU within' the series... I would love to see David Tennant ("Doctor Who", "Jessica Jones") as Castiel!)
__________
(See: Tags ('jensen ackles', 'spn') for past blog entries about past ideas/what I would like to see Jensen Ackles do outside of / during "Supernatural" and/or after the series concludes sometime next year. I apologize that some of the lists for the actor are under just 'spn' and not by his name. May need to update / make another one one of these days... To feature current interests (ex. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and/or new projects that come up for the big or small screen (ex. "Batwoman" and/or the 'Arrow-verse' in general).)

Reference / Homage(s):
Film(s):
"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (Wiene, 1920, Germany) (--Early horror / 'silent' film / German Expressionism) (--Rob Zombie / Joseph Kahn's 1999 music video for "Living Dead Girl" paid homage/did their take on it/adapted like)
TV:
"The Twilight Zone" (1959 - 1964) (--Note: Maybe w/ a nod to the reboot on CBS All Access presently by Jordan Peele?)
Storyline(s):
Character(s) replace Chuck Shurley / Caver Edlund / 'God' as God (Maybe: Amara / The Darkness, Castiel, Jack, and/or committee of gods/angels instead of just one god/God alone - like a democracy or something...)
Trope(s): Characters/Casting (Versions) / Alternate Universe/Timeline / Multi-verse (Time travel / AU (or other timeline / dimension - ex. Apocalypse World of Season 13) has been used before and m-v. was sort of hinted at in the Season 14-finale...I think...) / Gender Swap (Dream/Spell/Hallucination?) (Or fanfiction / fan convention / alternating story line /universe like the "book" versions by Chuck Shirley / Becky and/or thinking along the lines of sort of like "Adventure Time" (Animated series, 2007 / 2010 - 2018, Cartoon Network) - Ice King's fanfiction / female versions of Finn and Jake: Fiona and Cake.) (Other alt. versions of lead characters: from / set in the UK / England, brother and sister instead of two brothers, different race/ethnicity or sexual orientation / of the LBGTQ+ community.)
- Gender Swap: Casting Ideas: ex. Sophia Bush ("Chicago P.D.") as Dean (or: "Deanna" like Mary Winchester's mother whom Dean was named after) and Bitsie Tulloch ("Grimm") as Sam ("-/Samantha") (--Technically, Bitsie is about a year older than Sophia...but I think they are a good fit for those roles.)
- Version: UK / England: ex. Bradley James ("Merlin") as Dean and Domhnall Gleeson ("Harry Potter" films, "Star Wars" - current trilogy) as Sam (--Yes, I know, both actors were born in 1983 and are about 4-5 months apart in age... They do have the height thing, where the younger sibling is taller than the older. Bradley is 6' and Domhnall is 6'1". Yeah, not by much...) (Oh! If there was a UK version of the series or AU within' the series... I would love to see David Tennant ("Doctor Who", "Jessica Jones") as Castiel!)

(See: Tags ('jensen ackles', 'spn') for past blog entries about past ideas/what I would like to see Jensen Ackles do outside of / during "Supernatural" and/or after the series concludes sometime next year. I apologize that some of the lists for the actor are under just 'spn' and not by his name. May need to update / make another one one of these days... To feature current interests (ex. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and/or new projects that come up for the big or small screen (ex. "Batwoman" and/or the 'Arrow-verse' in general).)
