JARED PADALECKI: And I’ll speak for Samantha as well really quickly because I think it’s an important tangent. The first couple of episodes [of season 12] see me getting tortured and I think [Dean’s] dead, he doesn’t know where I am. I was talking to Samantha, who’s a friend, and she’s like, “It’s been really weird, because I’ve been a part of this show since day one.” She was a part of Supernatural before we were a part of Supernatural. I’ll give the credit to the writers in a sense because they’re able to figure out how it might feel and it’s probably weird for Samantha and Mary to now be part of something that they…
ACKLES: They were only talked about. They were never really physically a part of.
PADALECKI: I revert back to when I was 22, or however old I was when I did the show, and Sam didn’t want to be in this life and didn’t want anything to do with it. There was a part where Jared didn’t want to be moving to Vancouver and working 18-hour days and getting on the phone for New York interviews at 6 a.m. and then flying down for a photo shoot. Life imitated art, and I feel like that’s one of the reasons why Supernatural has gone so long is because our writers are savvy enough and smart enough to realize hey, we have an opportunity to mirror what somebody might go through. So they’re really woven that into the story line with Samantha and I told her, “That’s just good writing because Mary would feel weird after not being here for 33 years and being with her sons and living in a bunker.” It took us a long time to find peace in the bunker, and so for Mary to do it…
ACKLES: It is art imitating life, life imitating art in the fact that we really love Samantha, we’ve gotten to see her, we have a great fondness of her and relationship with her, but to have her around all the time, it’s like, oh wow. Off set, [it’s] fantastic, awesome. But it’s really the chemistry on set — you never really know how that chemistry is going to play itself out when you start really working with somebody and start really talking about the dialogue, really start talking about the movement of the scene. Jared and I, we’ve been doing this consistently for a long, long time. There is a silent language that he and I have.
PADALECKI: The language of love…
ACKLES: Let’s not do that.
PADALECKI: Okay yeah, I’m sorry. Can you rewind? [Laughs]
ACKLES: Is there an edit button?
Finishing each others sentences and the language of love. Okay, guys.
