‘Supernatural’ Season 12 Spoilers: Jared Padalecki Thinks Sam Will Deal With Mary’s Resurrection Differently Than Dean

Season 11 of "Supernatural" ended with Mary Winchester (Samantha Smith) getting resurrected by Amara (Emily Swallow) to thank Dean (Jensen Ackles). Bringing Mary back to life will definitely have a huge impact on Dean, but does the resurrection would have the same effect on Sam? Jared Padalecki thinks his character would deal with Mary's return a little differently.

In a recent interview with TVLine, Padalecki said Sam doesn't need a lot of closure from his mother unlike Dean does. Mary died in the hands of a demon when Sam was just a baby, but past time-travel episodes have put the brothers in contact with their still-young parents, with Dean and Sam not existing yet.

Sam Needs Answers

According to Padalecki, Sam was "so young" when Mary died and didn't get the chance to know her. But this doesn't mean that Sam won't demand "some answers" about his mother. Padalecki added that Sam is "curious," "a thinker" and is intellectual, and part of him would like some kind of closure with his parents.

"Sam is one of these interesting people who feels the void, even if he didn't ever know it," the actor noted, as quoted by TVLine. "They say, 'If you don't know something, you don't know what you're going to miss.' But I think Sam knows what he's missing."

Regardless, Padalecki said he's excited to have Smith back and that he's glad that "Supernatural" is the kind of show that can get away with that kind of twist. Ackles, meanwhile, shared he's curious to see how Mary's return will pan out on "Supernatural" and whether it will have serious consequences.

Sam Gets Shot In The Hands Of Lady Toni

Aside from Mary's resurrection, the eleventh season of "Supernatural" ended with Sam getting shot by Lady Toni Bevell (Elizabeth Blackmore). In another interview with TVLine, Padalecki confirmed that Sam was indeed shot -- a fact that will be likely dealt with when Season 12 opens.

Misha Collins, who portrays the angel Castiel, teased that a new actor (or actress?) has been cast on "Supernatural." When asked about the show's upcoming season, Collins said he is yet to talk to the screenwriters to discuss the new plot developments, Hall of Fame Magazine reported.

In an interview with Bustle, Collins expressed his desire to "revisit" the powerful Season 4 Castiel. "I would love it if there was a little stretch where he could possibly be the powerful ally that he was and just play it a little bit before somehow hobbling him again," he told Bustle.

"Supernatural" Season 12 airs on Thursday, October 13 at 9/8c on The CW.
