‘Supernatural’ season 8 spoilers: Who could be keeping Dean company now?
On this Thanksgiving, we give thanks to “Supernatural” season 8 for being a strong season thus far, and we also have plenty of hope that the trend of entertaining episodes is going to continue moving forward. Why do we feel so confident? Let’s just say that any opportunity Dean has to get some sort of flirty interest is not only good for the character, but also good for us viewers at home.
We have already shown some photos from the upcoming ninth episode of the season entitled “Citizen Fang,” and to go along with that now, we have a new report from Zap2It claiming that Kathleen Munroe (of “Haven” and “Alphas,” two lovely little slices of genre heaven) will be on hand during this episode as Elizabeth. Is she a full-on love interest for Jensen Ackles’ character? We don’t quite know the answer to that just yet, but it may at least yield an opportunity for Dean to have a little bit of fun while he continues to figure out just what in the world he wants to do with Benny.
The basic story behind this episode is simple: someone turns up dead after what appears to be a vampire attack, and after Sam starts to suspect that Benny is the victim, Dean rushes in immediately in his defense. Is this action by the character misguided, though? We will surely be finding out soon, as this episode will help to get the 2012 portion of season 8 to a close.
Are you always excited when Dean gets a chance to interact with the ladies?

So I agree dean need love intrest the thing he don’t need a per made family with lisa an ben no offense he need a whinchester family where deamon keep coming and family business count’d into next generation so they need to interduce some new ? And the best actress is Allison mack (yea I love sv ) put SPN writer /porducer/ important ppl so need her on this show like yesterday :p one she has realy large fan base so that mean rating increse 2 they need a somebody constant in guys lifes and since dean is one most slefish guy and he so need somebody since bobby death the humor has been slow they need to bring him back :p anyway like I said Allison mack. And jesen would have amazing chemistry cause there like the most talented on cw ever :p they can talk to a lamp post an look sexy/amazing ! So they need a hunter one that. Like short blonde kick ass smart and has humor who those woo an fall head over dean bt kickhis ass save his ass an earn his trust as well as his heart one who can have a baby winchester out an portect it who join him on hunt etc and tagg sam along and small spunky blondle who got dean on his toe geting troubble etc and allison mack would sooo make that amazing an realy one yea.

I’ve never seen Dean check out any men. I think you see this because you want to, but whatever, you are entitled to enjoy what you will.

Honestly, there is a lot. Some of it is more subtle then others, but it’s there. And I do think two guys can be friends without being romantically involved, I would make a list but it would be pretty long.
Anyways, there are multiple scenes were Dean particularly checks out Cas, and there are even scenes where he is doing it to other guys as well. There is a whole article dedicated to proving that Dean may in fact be bisexual. Dean has obviously shown more attraction to women through out the entirety of the show but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t open to other options.
I’m sure if Cas was a girl rather then a guy a more significant number of the fans would see it but because being gay is considered ‘taboo’ on a tv show, they choose to ignore the little things

What evidence points that he is bisexual? Because he has a close male friend? No offense, but do you not believe men can be close friends without it being romantic or sexual? Now I’ve heard everything. I guess this makes me bisexual if I’ve ever had a close female friend, and my husband as well because he had a best male friend.
That’s all Dean and Cas are. Dear friends. Dean has always been shown to be attracted to women. I’ve never seen him attracted to a man.

Loli, I never said Dean was gay. I never even said he was bisexual (even if there is a lot of evidence to support that he may very well be). I simply said that he and Cas have something that is not common amongst your average friendly relationship. There is something between them, the writers, the producers, even Misha Collins himself, have acknowledged that there is something there and that “”It may be unspoken but that doesn’t mean it’s not there or not true.”
Yes they are friends, but that doesn’t mean there is potential for there to be more

I read all the comments and i agree that he needs a love interest! Maybe someone that is also a hunter! Also i like Benny! I would like to see something done with him as a hunter too! I think it would be cool to have a vampire on their side! Sam and Dean will never be apart, they are brothers and that will never change! they will always be there for each other, no matter what other people or things get in the way! I am glad to see Cas is back! He has been a big part of the show and i’m glad to see that he is back! I hate that the angels are trying to get him to go behind their backs and rat them out, but he won’t remember what he tells them. I hope they come up with a spell or something so he can tell them about whats going on! But then again he may get punished for it and he won’t be on the show anymore! I like Kevin and his mom, she is spunky! As far as i am concerned this show can go on and on! I never get tired of the show! I have all of the episodes! It always has action and something different every week! I never get tired of watching!

Sarah, no offence but that was obnoxious. Dean & Cas are friends in war that’s it. Dean is not gay, so seriously, the fact that you even mentioned it..whatever.
I also don’t appreciate how the writers occasionally tease this “fan-made” story. That doesn’t strike me as good writing at all. I hope Dean gets some action simply coz he’s a human being & he’s been through too much crap he needs to have some fun every once in a while. I’ve really gotten sick of sad, drunken, guilty Dean. Glad that’s changing this season but the guilt i saw in this last epi was depressing. I hope he realizes that he’s not responsible for everything/everyone & that he doesn’t need to explain himself to anyone! I mean the guy literally went to hell & purgatory, so WRITERS!! give him some credit for once!

ugh i don’t want to see dean with some other chick he picked up from somewhere, and honestly i cant even see it. The chemistry he and Cas have had in the past and currently having now (it actually seems like it’s gotten even more intense), just make it seem like Dean going after someone else wrong. i really want to see something develop between them because they definitely have something there, you can tell by last weeks episode. Dean is never gonna be able to be happy with some women because he would put her in danger and they wouldn’t understand and everything and their relationship would just go awry. Dean and Cas have known each other for so long, they understand and accept each other even after everything they have done. I just feel like they are the only two people in the world who understand each other

While I want Dean to repair his relationship with Sam first and foremost, I still would like for Dean to have a little romance. We’ve only seen his relationships after they had already happened, with Cassie and Lisa, but we’ve never seen Dean meet a woman, have that initial attraction, and have a romance develop. I’ve always wanted to see that side of him even though I know it can’t be a lasting relationship. We have seen that side of Sam, why not Dean? If nothing else, Dean needs to at least get a little bedroom action, as he’s been in Purgatory for a long year. That whole thing with Lydia was so dumb and cartoonish, he needs some real action.

I’m with aurens66, I like when Dean is flirting and is part of his character in fact, but I don’t want a love interest for him in this moment to be honest and I hope they focus on other parts of the story.

i think dean should have a love interest he always looks so worried and stressed these days think he needs something more than your weekly kills in his life especially if amelia is going to be coming into the show at some point for sam really lovin supernatural defo better with its new team writing .

Hell, the more characters the merrier I say. I like this season. Jeremy Carver as the new show runner is doing fine.

I liked Jo, but she was more of a ‘little sister’ – I liked Lisa, who was a love interest who had some dimension and involvement in the main story arc, but at this point, a gal love interest for Dean is the furthest thing from my interest, I want to see Dean repair his relationship with his brother Sam and with his angel, Castiel, along with saving the world.
