Interview with David Haydn-Jones
I came across this and thought it was interesting. He seems like a nice guy.
‘SUPERNATURAL’ CAST DAVID HAYDN-JONES DISCUSSES LATEST SPOILERS FOR ARTHUR KETCH
"I did love the chance to play sort of a Bond-esque shady character on a show that I had wanted to be in for a long time."
Oh... sounds like he's a fan of the show!
“Oh boy! When I got the script I was as shocked as the viewers seemed to be. I was like, ‘Holy Moly. They are going to HATE me.’ As to the ‘romance’ part, which is putting it very diplomatically, if you go back to previous episodes you’ll see little subtextual hints that I tried to lay in as part of Ketch’s seduction. I was so happy to see in this script that it finally happened, and my ground game, so to speak, paid off. Ketch is a very sexual guy, but I don’t think he has the most mainstream appetites. I’ll leave the rest to Tumblr, haha. BUT, I will say I am happy to hear the audience picked up on just a wee crack of emotional vulnerability I tried to build in there. Excited to see how that plays out in future episodes."
Interesting to see his take on the fling between Mary and Ketch. I wasn't shocked at all. Him saying Ketch doesn't have the most mainstream appetites takes my imagination to unpleasant places however. Oh well, if Mary likes it.
"if you thought you were mad at Ketch before, oh boy, you ain’t seen nothing yet."
This thing again. So we're going to be super mad at Luci and super mad at Ketch. A beloved character is definitely dying. I swear if they touch the McLeods I'm gonna be pissed.
"This thing again. So we're going to be super mad at Luci and super mad at Ketch. A beloved character is definitely dying. I swear if they touch the McLeods I'm gonna be pissed."
I noticed that too! Finally, it looks like they're going to stop straddling the line on whether our 'Big Bads' are really bad. I think a beloved character is dying too. I don't see Ketch joining up with Lucifer to get it done, so I'm guessing that Lucifer kills someone important while Sam and Dean are preoccupied elsewhere. I'm thinking Crowley with the way things between Lucifer and Crowley have been going for a while now. Also, with Lucifer around and maybe the BMoL sticking around to play the part of frenemy in the future, Crowley's role is really starting to be doled out to other characters and makes him less necessary. It could be Rowena though. I'm less inclined to believe it's Cas, because I think the fandom would have a conniption, but then Cas's storyline has to be going somewhere, and he's making right the wrongs of his past, like with Lily Sunder or with the angels; he killed Billy, because he thinks the world needs the Winchesters (not himself necessarily); there are supposed to be cosmic consequences for him killing Billy; and after what happened in 12.12, we won't be expecting him to die so soon. If it happens out of nowhere without him being able to say anything to the brothers, well, we already saw him say his parting words to them in 12.12. I'm not saying his death would be permanent the way I think it'd have to be if Crowley died, because again with the cosmic consequences, but who knows? Misha has gotten a lot more political this year and ventured a little away from the show to do Timeless, albeit under Kripke, so maybe he wants to focus more on other things, like his charity and politics.
With Ketch, I'm guessing that he does some pretty rotten things, but not permanent rotten things, like killing a beloved character. He'll be killing hunters, and maybe he'll get his hands on one of the Winchesters, like Dean to contrast what happened to Sam at the start of the season. I had wanted to see a big fight between Dean and Ketch with Dean coming out on top, but now I'm starting to think that killing Ketch is going to be all Mary. :(
"I'm thinking Crowley with the way things between Lucifer and Crowley have been going for a while now."
These spoilers certainly raise the stakes for the upcoming episodes. I'm going to be on the edge of my seat waiting to see who dies. I've been worried about Crowley too. He's playing a dangerous game with Lucifer. I will be beyond annoyed if they kill Crowley. It's bad enough they killed Bobby and handed his role off to Castiel, now they want to destabilize the show further by taking out the King, I won't stand for it lol.
"It could be Rowena though. I'm less inclined to believe it's Cas"
Castiel has unfortunately become a political character in this fandom and the showrunners are scared of his fanbase. He's not going anywhere. I will literally fall out of my chair in shock if he dies.
"there are supposed to be cosmic consequences for him killing Billy; and after what happened in 12.12, we won't be expecting him to die so soon."
I'm curious about those cosmic consequences and what form they will take. I want there to be consequences for killing Billie.
"If it happens out of nowhere without him being able to say anything to the brothers, well, we already saw him say his parting words to them in 12.12." "I'm not saying his death would be permanent"
Good point. I've found some of his speeches to the Winchesters a bit strange, like someone who's running out of time and is trying to get some things out while he still can. I still wouldn't bet on him being the one who bites it. If he does, it would be temporary. We don't know what he's been doing up in Heaven and if he so happens to have secured the protection of Joshua, he might rise again like the phoenix.
"With Ketch, I'm guessing that he does some pretty rotten things, but not permanent rotten things, like killing a beloved character. He'll be killing hunters, and maybe he'll get his hands on one of the Winchesters, like Dean to contrast what happened to Sam at the start of the season."
Ketch will definitely be killing hunters. I can see the parallel in him kidnapping Dean but I really don't want it to happen. Dean is such a badass character and he hasn't had the opportunity to shine much this season. I would hate for him to end it tied up somewhere getting slapped around by his mother's FWB 😰 😪
"I had wanted to see a big fight between Dean and Ketch with Dean coming out on top, but now I'm starting to think that killing Ketch is going to be all Mary. :("
That seems to be the trend this season 😪

I miss badass Dean. I wanted there to be an epic battle with a human bad guy they were building up to be the best of the worst vs. Dean, and maybe they'll still do that, but with Mary and Ketch having their tryst, I can see them trying to add conflict there instead, which is a shame.
"A beloved character is definitely dying."
Oh and I'm copying this from what you put up in the SeaCon thread.
"Jensen: I’m gonna speak for both of us and say we haven’t filmed it yet. That’s gonna be a tough one."
I'm thinking this indicates even more that one of our beloved characters is being killed in the finale. Maybe not, but something big seems to be happening in the finale.
So many ominous comments from the actors. I'm scared Drifter, really scared 😱
