Its with a heavy, sad heart this morning that the fandom is in deep shock after Jensen, Jared and Misha posted on their twitter and Instagram accounts that the show will end after S15 finale. All three trying hard to control their feelings sent us fans a personal, heartfelt message.

The video link is heart breaking to listen to. Knowing how the actors are feeling whilst recording it to us. We know we are very lucky in having the series on air for 15 years and that we have a year to plan for the best ever finale. At least the cast have that opportunity to prepare for that ending and for the writers to give the series a fitting ending. Over the years fans have talked about its possible end, now that end is neigh it still feels painful and sore wondering what that outcome might be. The possible speculations which are already flying around fill me with dread but in a way excitement as its looming and not so far away. I’ve hated the thought that one day this would come. We all knew it would do. As the old saying goes, all good things come to an end.
I am clutching onto the hope that both brothers don’t die, otherwise we have no spin-off, movie or any other projects J2 might want to do afterwards. Some are saying conventions will pack up, but I don’t agree with this one as J2 have always said they want to still be apart of this fandom even after the show ends. I just hope we still at least have this life-line to stay in touch with…
I started watching this show back in season 4, and 12 years is for me a long time watching any show and staying in tune with it, never leaving it and coming back into watch two or three years later like some do. There have been times I won’t deny this that I have sometimes felt like packing it in. But as time passed and the series progressed I wanted to know what happened to my favourite characters. I had really grown attached to them and had dug deep in my old heart. My passion for the show out weighed my slight boredom for it in places. The storytelling has always been strong which has been important to me. My mythology was always my love and that had never wavered. The Mythology is still well written and has me gripped as a viewer which is important again to keep me watching. This show has often re-invented itself like brining in the angels we never forgot Castiel walking into that barn and expressing who and what he was.
Supernatural has come along way and developed many characters, stories and a backbone to be proud of. A show that has helped so many fans with their own personal problems and letting them know that they are never alone in this big world.
J2’s friendship to me has always been at the pinnacle of this road trip, as without this what has a show really got. Just two actors mussing along without a word or spat to each other. It all became to apparent that their friendship is like a brotherhood on and off set which in Hollywood is very rare these days. We have seen J2 develop as young men into grown adults, meeting their wives, marrying and having children of their own, three each. I can only begin to imagine the fun both families must have together when off set and relaxing. Its wonderful to have seen them grow up.
That’s why I’ve always loved Sam and Dean’s banter on set, how close in the early days they appeared to be and their chemistry drew me in. I think that’s deeply why I’ve hung around because it’s solid, authentic and energetic to be around. They clearly have bags and hours of fun together and know how to pull a prank or two, three or more. I remember when Misha said in an interview that he had a job to keep a straight face when Jared would try and pull his trouser leg when the camera was rolling and he was acting his scenes. I also recall that if J2 pranked a guest star it meant that they liked you, if you hadn’t had a prank pulled on you …
There are so many reasons why my heart is aching this morning, why I have invested so much time into this show and my boys who I will dearly love for ever. They have bought so much into my creative little world and space. How their chemistry wrapped me up in knots and got me watching week in week out. Not many TV shows have kept me grounded for so long, and thank the creative team for that. With so many words to say, I feel I can’t do my show justice because my emotions presently are all over the place. I just needed to put something down on paper to sort of help make it official.
With a full season to prepare for its exit, we as fans have much to get our heads around, and gather some sort of conclusion as to what we might like to happen, who do we want to see come back for one last time and what stories we want to see told. What Mythology would you like to see sail away for one last time!
Lets raise a glass for our lads, crew and writing staff!
Put your thinking caps on and lets discuss ….

I was really hoping for two more years. I know it had to end sometime but I’m not entirely ready. This doesn’t feel real. But at least
They’ve given everyone time to let it sink in. It was so nice of them to give us the news how they did.
Thank you for writing this I’ve been looking for something somewhere to discuss a bit.
Feels like losing a life line or something. But I guess I’ll be buying the remaining seasons I don’t have and just watching whenever I feel like I need the boys.

I feel the same Katrina. I thought and even Jensen appeared to think it had a couple more years. But we have another year out of the two so its not so bad. As you say it gives them time to write the ending and for us all to get used to the end being the end. Your welcome, wished you’d found us sooner. Again I feel like I’ve lost a limb too, 12 years of my life has gone into this show, and starting this blog/community. We at least have our DVD’s to re-watch and conventions for a while to at least stay in touch with. I think like Jensen said, the end doesn’t mean the end we still may see Sam and Dean in some form or other like a movie, mini series so watch this space!

Worried about Jared’s mental health based on his recent revelation at the convention that his emotions got in the way of his acting and that Jensen was there to support him. Jensen gave it away when he said it was more Jensen hugging Jared than Dean hugging Sam.I sensed the end was coming when I watched this part of the convention. Jensen and he probably discussed the toll working this hard takes on them emotionally and physically. Glad that they are walking away with integrity and friendship in good shape. Hope the writers do the final season justice with an epic story line. I always got the sense that Jensen would continue in the industry as a director or actor- after a time out- but that Jared does not want a long term gig anymore in acting. Both have other interests outside of the industry and they deserve time with their growing families. It is a decision that probably took much thought. We feel we know them because they have shared so much with fandom, but there is more to these people and out of privacy and appreciation, I hope nobody throws shade because they are making a healthy decision. Probably cut back on the number of conventions even more so. Let’s go out together in s 15 with a tear and a chuckle and appreciation for the cast and crew.

I have had a pretty unexpected emotional reaction to the news that next season will be the last. It wasn’t exactly a surprise, but the reality of soon not having a new season to look forward to after all these years is nothing short of gut-wrenching. I can’t imagine what it’s like for the cast and crew having to face saying goodbye, even if it is a joint decision of the stars (which I do believe is the case).
My dream and hope is that Kripke will get involved with the ending. I think he wants to, from what I’ve read, and with this much notice, it should be worked out. He is really the only one that I feel could truly do justice to the ending of this series. I’m hopeful!

ABSPSN its great to see you posting, missed you x
I think Eric too wants to get involved. So many are not wanting Dabb to write the finale and Eric is at the top of my list. He nurtured these characters from the beginning and knows what real ending to end their tenure. He raised them, and gave them meaning and above all put life into Sam and Dean and showed them the way into this world he’s created for us. I’m optimistic about the last ever episode. As long as its not a lame ending, I will be okay with it. As long as neither or both brothers die I will be satisfied as that will leave the series open for more creativity afterwards.

Jared is a concern, but I think they are both doing the right thing. I think Jared needs to take a step back and re-focus on what he really wants/needs out of life. He is a person who appears to truly suffer and my heart goes out to him. I bet it took so much guts to have to make that heart wrenching decision as we know how much they both love all us fans. Yes, it does still goes to prove that their friendship is still intact and now more than ever they have each others backs and its heart warming to see even now, its come to a head that the bond is still as strong as ever its been.
I get that feeling too, about what they both might do next. I can see Jensen as a director with an occasional appearance in front of the camera. Jared I am not so sure about. I keep thinking making movies is his bag. Short filming shifts without the long hall of a permanent series to have to deal with. He has clearly struggled with longevity and hope he manages to come to terms with his fears. I think they have both only touched the surface with that message. We will never know what was really said behind closed doors, but we all empathise with what must have taken place to have made that final choice. Even poor Misha looked disturbed and a bit out of it. I feel at peace with it now even though it hit me like a ton truck to start with. These boys are so very brave and up front.
