'Supernatural' Season 9: Misha Collins to return as series regular, and direct an episode
Best news ever for "Supernatural" fans! The CW has confirmed to Zap2it that Misha Collins, our favorite angel-gone-rogue, has signed on to return to the show as a full-time series regular in the already announced Season 9.
In addition, he plans to direct an episode -- making him the second
cast member, after Jensen Ackles, to step behind the camera on the
series.
Currently, Collins' character, Castiel, is embroiled in a
major storyline -- he's just learned that a tablet exists that could
banish all angels from earth forever, and Heaven is willing to do just
about anything to keep the demons (and the Winchesters) from getting
their hands on it. Naomi (Amanda Tapping) has been messing with his
mind, and giving him orders that he only processes on an unconscious
level.
We recently visited Collins on the "Supernatural" set,
where we discussed whether or not Castiel is aware of Heaven's
disturbing manipulation of his life.
"There's a fine line with
Castiel. It's a little bit difficult to tell what's going on, how much
he's conscious of," Collins says. "Castiel is being programmed by Naomi,
and yet, it seems as though, largely, he's being programmed on an
unconscious level. It's been a balancing act for me, deciphering how
much he's aware of what's going on, and how much he's not. But he does
take moments away to go ask her questions, so he's consciously
communicating with her to an extent."
