‘Supernatural’ season 8 spoilers: Are we in for a major blast from Sam’s past?

While not every episode of “Supernatural” season 8 has necessarily been a home run, executive producer Jeremy Carver has done a pretty great thing in working to ensure that there are some pretty interesting callbacks to the series’ history over the past several months. Just the other week, for example, we had a return visit from Bobby; and now, the rumor mill is burning brightly with reports that we are going to have an actress come back to the show who has not been featured ever since the show’s first season.

While Taylor Cole’s character of Sarah Blake was featured briefly, she made quite the impact when it comes to one Sam Winchester. As a matter of fact, she was one of those women that could have really made a big impact on his life had he been in a different place emotionally at the time.

While there is no confirmation as to whether or not Cole is returning, the actress did tweet out the photo above of herself alongside Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Given that the show films in Vancouver, we have a feeling that this meeting did not just occur by happenstance. If she is back, it would have to be for one of the last episodes of the season … which we’re hoping would lead to her having an even larger role to play in the early part of next season (but this is all speculation on our part).

Here’s are a few other interesting facts about Cole: she has been featured on “The Glades” and “CSI: Miami” since her time on “Supernatural,” and her prom date in high school was none other than recent “Bachelor” and current “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Sean Lowe.

What do you think: should Sarah return to “Supernatural”? If you want to check out the first photo of Metatron on the show’s set, be sure to head on over to the link here.
