It looks as if Supernatural will be seeing quite a few recurring characters during season 9, whether they are just mentioned in passing or are showing up on your screens.

The most interesting rumor to pop up on the Supernatural front this week involves the angel Ezekiel. Slated to first appear in the season premiere, "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here," the fallen angel will be played by Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Penikett. A new promo for the episode shows that Ezekiel may be involved in aiding Sam's (Jared Padalecki) miraculous recovery.

While the actor is only listed as appearing in the inaugural episode, recent rumors state that his name was mentioned during shooting for episode 6, "Dog Dean Afternoon." The source also said that Ezekiel was possessing Sam, allowing him to heal after having his throat slashed during the canine themed episode, according to Spoiler TV.

However, none of this has been confirmed as a fact.

In the meantime, fans can anticipate the arrival of a single mother named Nora in episode 7, "Heaven Can Wait," according to E!. While her first appearance opposite a supernatural problem named Ephraim, the site says that viewers can anticipate seeing her several more times during season 6.

Lastly, there is the issue of Cas (Misha Collins). Previous rumors regarding the Team Free Will member's absence from the premiere were put to rest earlier this week, but now TV Line is reporting that Castiel will be missing from episode 2, "Devil May Care."

Supernatural returns to the CW on Oct. 8.
