Supernatural: 10 Characters Fans Wish Made a Cameo in Season 15

The epic journey of Dean and Sam Winchester has finally ended in its 15th season. No doubt, the support from fans is what kept this show going for its extraordinary long run.

Fans loved the key relationship (the brothers), the monster-of-the-week episodes, the angels and demons, and the many characters that were sometimes friends/family, sometimes enemies, and sometimes frenemies of the beloved duo. While season 15 tried to do its best to give fans a reunion with so many of the side characters, it also left many out.

10 Jesse Turner

Jesse was the young boy who was half-demon and half-human and meant (according to Castiel) to be the Antichrist. Luckily, Jesse really loved his parents and wasn’t evil. So, he made the decision to take his family and move all of them away. He didn’t want to fight in any battle.

Jesse was so strong that he could hide himself and his family from any supernatural prying eyes. In that way, he was curiously stronger than Jack. If Jesse had been brought back, he would have served as a good friend to Jack and a strong ally to the Winchesters. Jesse became one of the most interesting characters to have been introduced in only one episode, never to return.

9 Wayward Sisters: Claire and Patience

Whereas both Kaia and Alex (the Wayward sisters/daughters) appeared in Season 15, both Claire and Patience did not. Their adult protectors, Jody and Donna, also appeared. However, Claire would have been an important character, especially with the death of Castiel. Although her relationship had been strained with Castiel, they developed a friendship and a bond.

Patience was psychic like her grandmother, Missouri. As such, she could have also served as a bridge for Missouri to impart some help and wisdom to Sam and Dean.

8 Meg

While fans got to see Meg’s face as the Empty donned her likeness in the last episodes, the character Meg didn’t return. She was left dead. Meanwhile, Ruby, the other infamous demon, was woken up since she had pertinent information. Additionally, she was given a deal.

Meg, the enemy turned ally, who sacrificed herself for the Winchesters and who developed an adorable connection with Castiel, was never revived. Her snark would’ve been much appreciated.

7 Lisa and Ben

The only time Dean had a life without hunting was with Lisa and Ben. Later, Lisa accepted both sides of him, and Ben saw Dean as a father-figure. In order to protect them, he had Castiel remove their memories of him and their life together. This was presented as Dean’s grand sacrifice. However, he made this decision without consulting them.

Unlikely as it is that Dean would or could go back to a life with Lisa and Ben, it would have been interesting to see him confront his previous decision. It would have also been interesting to see Lisa and Ben come to the realization that he was a big part of their lives (at one point), and now, he was gone.

6 Jess

Jess had been Sam’s great love in Season 1, her death started his desire to pick up hunting again. Throughout the many seasons, she was referenced. At times, she appeared in dreams to Sam. Even Dean dreamt that she was with Sam when he was in his djinn-induced happy dreams.

In Season 15, Sam told Dean that he still missed Jess. Aside from this quick mention, she isn’t in the season–not in Sam’s dreams, Dean’s desire for a better future for his brother, or in heaven.

5 Jo

Although Jo wasn’t on Supernatural for very long, she made a lasting effect. Sweet on Dean, at one time she could’ve been a good partner for him. What stood out about Jo though was her own life’s parallels with Sam and Dean. The child of a hunter, she also had the trade in her blood. In addition, she understood that a child of a hunter is never really a child.

Jo was one of the first strong women fans met in Supernatural, one of many who were gone too soon. Her toughness, intelligence, and humor made her a quick favorite as well as her family bond with her mother. Seeing her in a cameo, albeit brief, would have been a great way to bookend the final season.

4 Gabriel

Gabriel was the best heavenly family member for Jack, but unfortunately, Jack didn’t have the opportunity to be mentored under his uncle. Gabriel always had a trick up his sleeve and was able to cheat death a couple of times. In the end, he sacrificed himself to save others.

When Lucifer was brought back, it would have been an opportunity to bring back this charismatic trickster. However, it’s unlikely that Gabriel would have done Chuck/God’s dirty work. Still, his inner struggle would have been more interesting than Michael’s attempt to be the favorite son again.

3 The Original Charlie

While the alternate-world Charlie was featured (briefly and tragically) in the show, the original Charlie was left out. That Charlie was like a sister to the Winchesters. She was playful, intelligent, and quirky. On top of being an endearing character and a fan-favorite, she literally died to save Dean.

It would make sense that Dean would see Charlie in heaven, yet the only character he sees is the original Bobby. Fans love the original Bobby, but they also love the original Charlie, too.

2 Crowley

The unforgettable Crowley had great chemistry with both the brothers, and he also delivered the best nicknames, “Squirrel (Dean) and Moose (Sam).” Season 15 was often heavy and hopeless; this former enemy turned ally would have been a welcome addition to change the atmosphere.

Crowley could make the most serious episode turn witty with a smirk, an aside, or an eyebrow raise. The former King of Hell would have made a great cameo, a way to lighten the load for at least a small laugh and sarcastic observation.

1 Jacob Pond

In Season 7, Dean killed Amy Pond (Jacob’s mother and Sam’s friend) in front of young Jacob. Dean asks Jacob (a kitsune) if he has ever killed anyone. Jacob slowly shakes his head and says, “The only person I’m going to kill is you.” To which Dean responds, “Well, look me up in a few years, assuming that I live that long.”

The finale has Dean dying from being accidentally slammed into a nail, while he and Sam fight vampires. Jenny, one of the vampires, was a human-turned-vampire that they tried to save in Season 1. Two episodes later in Season 1, Dean almost dies from a car crash and internal bleeding. So, in a sense, his death harkened back to that original almost death. Yet, it would’ve been more interesting had Jacob made true on his promise, and it would’ve been more tragic. A death by Jacob would’ve represented a death by the consequences of his previous mentality and misdeed, regardless of all the good he had done since then.
