'Supernatural' Season 9 Spoilers: An Old Flame of Jensen Ackles' Dean Reappears VIDEO
Another old romantic flame of the Winchesters will surface early in season 9.
The series has been speckled with the brothers many failed relationships. Episode 5 will see the return of one of Dean's (Jensen Ackles) old girlfriends, Robin, according to Spoiler TV. A waitress at a diner, the 30-something woman remembers the elder Winchester brother from a romance when the two were in their teens.
Director Kevin Parks began casting for the episode last Thursday, and shooting should begin in a few weeks.
In the last nine seasons, a wide array of females have captured the attention of the Winchester boys. However, any time Sam (Jared Padalecki) or Dean come close to having a stable relationship, the job inevitably catches up with them.
In season 1, Sam lost Jess (Adrianne Palicki) to the Yellow-Eyed Demon (Fredric Lehne) and Dean's hunting lifestyle twice pulled apart his budding relationship with Cassie (Megalyn Echikunwoke). While both brothers attempted to settle down during each others absences - Dean with Lisa (Cindy Sampson) in season 6 (see video below) and Sam with Amelia (Liane Balaban) in season 8 - neither could stay with the one they cared about.
While Robin may only turn out to be a one-off character, perhaps the episode will give some more insight into a younger Dean.
Supernatural returns on Oct. 8.
