‘Supernatural’ season 9 spoilers: A possible love interest and another new face
Do you dig “Supernatural” details? Well, we’ll try our best to provide a few juicy tidbits for you today about the seventh episode of the season, entitled “Heaven Can Wait.” (This strangely sounds like something that would appear in a romantic comedy.)
So could someone on the show be experiencing heaven on earth in the form of a new love interest? It’s possible, since E! News claims that one of the new faces that we are set to meet this season is Nora, described as an attractive single mom who just so happens to own a convenience store. The major evidence about her being a possible love interest is that her gig will last for more than one episode, and we just personally hope for her sake that her story ends differently than that of many female characters on the show. (Typically, they say goodbye under some pretty-tragic circumstances.)
Last season, the biggest love interest that we had an opportunity to meet was Amelia, who just so happened to be Sam’s love interest and an opportunity for him to escape from his current life as a hunter. Suffice it to say, this story was not universally well-received.
Meanwhile, the other new character that you are going to be meeting this season is Ephraim, described as some sort of “creepy supernatural entity” who has the belief that he can legitimately help people, but instead ends up using his power for evil more so than good.
Is there anything that you are hoping to see with these characters? Share some of your individual hopes / picks below! Meanwhile, click here to see some more news related to the show (in the form of a new promo).

Yes, I am hoping to see Nora as a cool, independent female character that don’t need no man! I am hoping that she is NOT another pointless love interest that most fans are going to dislike. As the Amelia story-line proved last season, just about nobody likes it when they try to pigeon-hole any of the guys into these stupid love interest story-lines, so I’m really, really hoping that they don’t try to go there.
Not only do I enjoy it best when the show focuses just on Dean, Sam, Cas and the relationships between them and whatever main story line(s) are happening with them, but I also hate it when they try to reduce all the female characters to nothing more than love interests. Can we have more awesome women like Charlie that can just be cool characters without the whole idea of “single attractive female=must link them to a male character as love interest”?

well i dont agree there has been quite a few female names come up lately that will be showing up for series 9 i dont know if any will be love interest s for the guys but i think its about time there was not lisa or amelia type s just someone they can meet and have feelings for without everyone going mad about it they are both gorgeous guys would be very odd if neither of them ever got with anyone and not very realistic i think we should just chill watch the new season and enjoy.

Well, debs, if that is what you would like to see then you are more than entitled to want to see that, however others like myself are also more than entitled to not want the same thing and to get mad/upset about things that happen that we do not want. The article asked what we want to see and that is what I want to see and do not want to see with these characters and others.
I completely agree with you that all three main characters on this show are gorgeous men, but I definitely disagree about the rest of that part of your statement about it not being realistic for the guys to ever get with someone because 1) just because someone is attractive doesn’t automatically mean they should have a love interest. People can and do choose to avoid romantic entanglements for all sorts of reasons. Dealing with fallen angels, demons, and supernatural entities of all sorts seems to me a good reason to avoid entangling yourself with someone new, especially romantically. I’m not saying that’s healthy at all, but realistic..yes. 2) Both Dean and Sam have been involved with people before. So the statement of saying “it would be odd if neither of them ever got with anyone” is a bit null since they have been with people before and as the article above states…those things have usually ended bad for their respective partners. Speaking as someone that has experienced heartbreak before, it isn’t really high on my to-do list to put myself back out there in the dating game and that is just from a normal experience, not having dealt with the types of relationship ending events that these characters have dealt with. Therefore, no more relationships could be a very realistic concept for both Dean and Sam. and 3) I’m not sure how much importance realism holds anyway for a show that deals with vampires, angels, demons, etc etc etc.
I do very much plan to watch the new season; I’m extremely excited about it and I truly hope that I enjoy it. However, when I run across an article such as this that gives us information that I have an opinion about, then I’ll state my opinion (as we’re all welcome to do) and worry and bite my nails and whatever else. If I didn’t love the show and the characters, I wouldn’t bother. :)
