‘Supernatural’s’ Jim Beaver: Will Bobby become an angry spirit?
When Bobby died on “Supernatural” back in December, there was some ambiguity as to whether we’d ever see him return. Though people tend not to stay dead on this show, it’s very rare that a goodbye is as poignant and powerful as the episode “Death’s Door” was for Bobby, so we weren’t sure if we’d ever see Jim Beaver on the show again.
He, too, was skeptical as to whether Bobby would be back. “I wasn’t particularly happy about [the death],” Beaver tells us. “I’m one of those people who’s very comfortable with the status quo; change is always a little bit scary. They said that I would be back, but they didn’t say exactly when, or in what kind of condition. At the time, it was iffy, and I was a little concerned. I knew that everybody liked me and liked the character and all that, but I’ve been on shows before where that was the case, and gotten a bullet in the same part of the head. At least on this show that’s not always the end of the story.”
Now that Bobby has returned as a ghost, even growing strong enough to reveal himself to Sam and Dean, there’s still a question of how long he can function that way. According to “Supernatural” mythology, most spirits who aren’t reaped eventually grow restless and angry. Bobby’s prospects aren’t particularly good, especially given the fact that the Winchesters are still trying to avenge his death by killing Leviathan Dick Roman.
