Supernatural has a history of bringing characters back from the dead, but there's at least one character who hasn't returned to the land of the living. That's Dean and Sam's father, John Winchester, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

While he's getting ready for Season 2 of Extant, Morgan says he'd be happy to make a return to Supernatural if the opportunity arose. Here's what Morgan old Collider about the idea:

I [recently] was in London with Jensen [Ackles] and Jared [Padalecki]. I absolutely would love to go back. I haven't been on the show for 10 years, and I get asked about it in every interview and every time I leave my house. I went and did a Supernatural convention, which I've always said no to. I went to Las Vegas and talked to 5,000 crazy-ass fans. The show has been on the air for 10 years now, and I haven't done it for 10 years. They want me back. I do this so that I can make people happy somehow. We do it for our fans, and that's got such a great fan base that, of course, I want to go back. And I would love to have some resolution for that character and his sons.

More importantly, Jensen, especially, is like a brother to me. I know he's my son on the show, but we've become very, very good friends…For me, I think it would be so cool to go back and have him direct me. That would be great. I'm proud of them. They're my sons, and I do look at them in a fatherly way, even though Jensen is like my brother. I'm very proud of who they are as men. I think they've grown up unaffected by fame and this business, which can turn people into freaks and assholes. They're so well-grounded, and they're both family men, and they're honest and true. All the crap that we want out of people, those two guys are.

So, I'm proud of them and I would love to go back and work with them again, if the opportunity comes. But in saying that, I don't want it to be a forced deal. I want it to be natural, and I want it to make sense for the story. I would love for John Winchester to have some way to say goodbye, not only to his sons, but to the fan base who seems to be clamoring for him to come back. We'll see, but I hope. I can't say, "I'll do the last year," because I don't see an end in sight. But I love them and I'd love to go do a good, solid arc. I don't want to just do a hit-and-run. I want to go back and do three, and really get into that world again. It would be great.

Supernatural recently finished out its tenth season, and will return for an eleventh on The CW this fall.
