From Zap2It.com comes a short article about a returning guest star on this week's Supernatural. One that I'm quite happy to see back! I'm only hoping they survive. Then again, this is Supernatural. What am I saying? :-)

Amber Benson on 'Supernatural': Can Lenore resist the call of the Mother?

spn-amberbenson.jpg"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Amber Benson made quite an impression when she appeared in a Season 2 episode of "Supernatural" as Lenore... a vampire, of course. She was one of the rare creatures that Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) let go free, since she'd opted to live on animal blood instead of killing humans.

We're so glad that the writers remembered that they still had this particular character in their bag of tricks. Right now, the Winchesters need all the allies they can get. Benson returns to the series for the first time since 2006 in the Friday, April 29 episode "Mommy Dearest."

Sam and Dean interrogate Lenore about the Mother of All, who has been released from Purgatory and is now on a havoc-wreaking road trip across the country. Lenore isn't particularly forthcoming with the information, though. "Eve? I have nothing to say about Eve," she snarls. "I'm trying to stay away from her."

She reveals that Eve's voice in the heads of the monsters drives them to commit evil deeds. "They left and started killing again," she says of her friendly vampire cohorts. She herself has been hiding in a basement, trying to resist the call of the Mother. Catch the clip below and tune in on Friday at 9 p.m. EST on The CW to see if Lenore finally meets the wrong end of a machete.




I'm thrilled to see Lenore back! I loved her in Bloodlust. I was hoping she'd partner up with the boys to help take out Eve, but man, from the way that clip ended it certainly doesn't sound like it. :-(  I'll be really irritated if the writers only brought her back for this one scene and then she dies. Hopefully the boys will be unable to basically murder her in cold blood. But Cas? With the way he's been acting, I wouldn't put it past HIM to do it.

Yeah, Cas hasn't yet learned that by fighting as your opponents would fight means that you may as well surrender because having become them, they've already won.

Wow, well said! Let’s hope Cas realizes this (or the boys tell him) before it’s too late. I’ll be devastated if by the end of this season they’ve made Cas into something I despise. :-(

I really really don't want her to die, but... by now I'm just really really glad they didn't turn her into a bad guy. At least if she does die like this, it's while trying to hold on to her principles, trying to stay herself. It'd be a heroic death, as far as vampires are concerned. Which is loads better than what I was worrying about of what they'd do to her.

You know, you’re absolutely right. I didn’t think of it that way. But yes, much better to go out while staying true to herself instead of being turned into something she doesn’t want.

Thanks, Barb! Another new ep I can't wait to see! And the guys all look great!

Love your new header! Man, he is one gorgeous man!

I think Lenore really made an impact on both boys by the end of Bloodlust. Dean especially, making him see those shades of gray instead of black and white, so I’m glad they’re bringing her back. Just please let her survive!

Glad you like the header! I hadn’t been inspired in a while to make a new one, but man, Sheriff Winchester jump started me again in a big way! LOL! Ride ‘em cowboy!

I was hoping she'd show up again, too! If she does get fridged, I'll be miffed. Dear show, please stop killing characters I like. It's making me fragile.

That said, I'd be way more upset if they brought Missouri back and killed her.

Please stop killing FEMALE characters I like. It’s always the good, strong female characters (played by great actresses) that get killed off and we get stuck with the likes of Bela and both Ruby’s. Ick.

Missouri! Gosh, I loved her and I’m so upset that in the last five years they haven’t been able to bring her back. I know a lot of people didn’t like her because they thought she treated Dean like crap. I totally disagree. She just wasn’t going to put up with any of his bullshit and I thought she went about it in a humorous way.

I liked Bela, I certainly think she counts as a strong female character. What upset me with Bela was the childhood abuse that was pastede on in her last episode. I don't know whose bright idea that was, but made me really angry when I watched the ep. It's not really fair for me to comment on the various Rubys and Megs, since most of the demons anoy me. The demons seem to be what the actors make of them, IMO, because they're usually such shallow and ill-defined characters. A lot of people criticise show for not writing many strong female characters, which I do think is true, but there also aren't many strong male characters (who are still alive) either. I always mean to do a list of boys vs girls, but I'm so lazy and my memory for characters is pretty awful.

The first time I saw the ep Missouri was in, I thought she was mean for the heck of it, but after seeing multiple seasons and then going back I felt that she just knew Dean's character better than I did the first time I watched it.

?!?! ... sorry I'm a little bit distracted by your new header!

So what was your post about? Ah yes, Lenore the vampire.
It's great to have her back, I loved her in Bloodlust and was always wondering what she might be up to.
Maybe she does team up with the boys? That would be much better than being killed by one of the boys, although I think neither Dean nor Sam would do it.
I'm not so sure about Cas either, he's really acting kinda strange lately and I don't know what to expect next from him.

LOL! I was hoping you’d notice it! Haven’t made a new one in quite awhile, but had a sudden burst of creativity after seeing Sheriff Winchester. *g* I’ve got a new one up today! Check this one out, too!

I can’t imagine either of them just coldly chopping off her head. That’s just too much like murder and that would never sit well with them.

I'm not so sure about Cas either, he's really acting kinda strange lately and I don't know what to expect next from him.

I’m pretty much hating what Sera is doing to Cas. You know it’s going to turn out to be him that pulled Sam out of the cage and left his soul there. She’s setting it up so that he’s written out of the show next season (like the rumor going around). He’ll either go completely bad and the boys will have to kill him (I will REALLY be upset if that’s what happens) or the boys will say they can no longer trust him and tell him to never come back. Either way the future looks bleak for Cas and that saddens me, because I love that character.

I will watch because it is Amber, but she is the only reason I will watch it. When I friended Amber on Twitter she sent me a personal message and welcomed me to her Twitter. She is awesome.

Aww, that was so sweet of her! I wish she’d be invited to one of the conventions. I’d like to meet her.
