Tonight, “Supernatural” wraps its fourth season and the finale promises to bring the mayhem that's been brewing to a boiling point. The race is on to prevent the final seals from being broken and there will be causalities.
One person whose future isn’t looking so bright? Bobby.
Yes, I know. It breaks my heart, too. But when I caught up with Jim Beaver (Bobby) at a signing to promote his new book this week, I questioned him on the rumors that his character isn't long for the "Supernatural" world, and his words weren’t promising. “I wish I had something encouraging to say about Bobby,” he told me. “There are some big surprises coming up.”
And if this is Bobby’s swan song, fans will be disappointed to hear that he’s not even a major part of the episode. “Bobby’s appearance in the season finale is relatively brief,” Jim shared. “He comes in and then kind of disappears.”
But whatever the outcome for Bobby is, Jim believes it’s all good. “[Creator] Eric [Kripke]’s going to do what’s best for the show,” he said. “He’s very attentive to the fans [and their wishes], but the fans don’t ever have to worry about him bending the show just to accommodate what they would like [to see]. At the same time, he cares what they would like, and I think the very fact that Bobby is still around this long is very much in part because he picked up that the fans liked him.”
If Bobby does end up meeting his maker, Jim isn't sure how that would impact his role on the show. “People do worry an awful lot about characters dying on "Supernatural" even though we’ve pretty much proven [death] doesn’t mean all that much,” he mused. He pointed out that characters that have died often pop back up on the show, long after they were killed off.
So, would you be okay if they axed Bobby?
Don't you think the boys need a father figure around? Someone that doesn't put up with their crap? Especially given their recent problems?
