Supernatural‘s heavenly angel has returned to Earth.

Misha Collins — aka the Winchesters’ ally-turned-foe Castiel on the spooktacular CW series — will guest-star on the network’s rookie drama Ringer.

Ringer Scoop: Ex Marks the Spot for Andrea Roth

Per TVGuide.com, Collins will appear in Episode 14 as Dylan, a man that both Bridget and Siobhan have a past with and who is partly responsible for the wedge between them.

Collins’ fan favorite character on Supernatural was seemingly killed off in this season’s second episode, but showrunner Sera Gamble has said she hopes to bring back the actor in some form.

Dammit. I HATE Castiel, so I am not thrilled to have to put up with him on Ringer now.

- My response was the opposite: “Man, I really have no desire to watch this show, but I LOVE Misha. I guess I’m in.” (Heck, I sat through that horrible Stonehenge Apocalypse Syfy movie for the guy. I can handle watching whole bunch of actors I like doing stuff I really don’t care about for an hour.)

  - The guy ruined Supernatural and now he’s out to ruin Ringer. Ugh!
    Comment by Snapy – November 10, 2011 03:24 PM PST Reply To This Post
    - To each his own, I suppose. Castiel is the reason I became interested in the show in the first place, though I’m certainly still watching without him.

      - And from someone who’s been loyal to Supernatural since the very first episode back in September 2005, I can tell you Castiel and all that angel bullsh!t baggage is the worst thing that ever happened to Supernatural.
        Comment by Snapy – November 10, 2011 07:31 PM PST
      - I wouldn’t say it’s being disloyal to have never heard of the show. After I’d seen the first half of S4, I watched all of the first three seasons over the Winter hellatus. I’m just saying that we both have a right to our opinions. (And I’d like to suggest that we keep things civil here, so as not to lend credence to SPN fans’ unfortunate reputation.) Personally, as much as I do love Cas, I also love the show when it’s just Sam and Dean against the world.
        Comment by Ace – November 10, 2011 08:56 PM PST
      - (@Snapy) And from someone else who’s been loyal to the show since the pilot, I love what Cas & the angel mythology brought to the show. That doesn’t make 1-3 any less entertaining. Although I do love the logic behind ‘time watching show = level of authority’ in your comment. Get over yourself, if you don’t like Cas, don’t watch seasons 4+. Instead just keep watching the same 3 seasons over, and over, and over…

    - Umm, Okay. If you didn’t like Castiel, that’s cool each too their own but unless you didn’t like Castiel’s performance a.k.a Misha’s performance then their is no reason you should dislike Misha. If you think Castiel ruined Supernatural that’s cool but blame the writers. Misha didn’t create Cas he just portrayed him on scree.n

      - Misha brought Castiel to life in the most annoying of ways. It’s the actor’s fault for making the character unlikable.
        Comment by Snapy – November 11, 2011 06:18 AM PST
      - Snapy – Writers play a big hand in making characters unlikable, not actors, dear. It’s one thing to agree to disagree, but stop trying to shove your opinion down other people’s throats. It’s sad.
        Comment by Logan – November 11, 2011 02:07 PM PST
      - ya misha did NOT ruin supernatural.you dont blame the actor for what the character has done. misha doesnt have any control over what he sais on camera. and in my appinion, he made the show a hole lot better and i would love to have him back.
        Comment by devils trap – February 9, 2012 04:32 PM PST
    - He was great on SPN, s6 sucked but I blame Sera. Ringer has gotten much better, still not my fave, but I like the guest stars they have, Jason Dohring, soon to be Amber Benson, and now Misha!

    - Sera, stop posting on TV websites and save your damn show!
      Comment by FockingHell – November 13, 2011 08:00 AM PST Reply To This Post
    - No no, my dear. FIRING Misha and destroying Castiel ruined Supernatural. Well, that and the crap writing that’s creeped into a once great show these past two seasons. Sad.
      
      I might have to check out Ringer. I miss Misha on my TV.

  - I too sat throught Stonehenge Apocalypse for him!!!! But I’m lucky as I love BOTH Misha AND the Ringer, so it’s win-win for me!!

  - i TOTALY aggree. although i do like supernatural, so i would kill to have him back on SPN. (I think he does a great job in SPN!!!!!)

- Well, the actor’s not going to be portraying Castiel on Ringer, so I think you’re in luck. . .

  - He’s annoying either way!!

    - @Snapy
      
      Wow, it seems really important to you that people know you think Misha Collins/Castiel is annoying. You really haven’t explained why that’s your opinion or supported it.
      
      My own opinion (as someone with SPN since pilot lol): Cas’ angel plotline was great. If the show had tried to be what it was for the first three seasons, I’m not sure it would still be here today, and I loved 1-3. Shows have to evolve, change, and take risks to survive. And really, don’t blame an actor for making a character annoying unless you explain what you found annoying.
      Comment by me – December 8, 2011 11:02 AM PST Reply To This Post
      - I love this comment <3 because I agree, I love what the Angel plotline brought to the show as a whole. It expanded the universe and suddenly things were no longer black and white in regards to what is evil and good. I really enjoyed that exploration. In regards to this latest season and Castiel's supposed death, I miss him; and sure, I'm a little upset at the writers for him being gone. I'm not one of those "He has to be in EVERY episode or I hate the writers!" I'm more of a… I just liked knowing he was there…that he was doing his angel work if he wasn't in an episode, and also knowing (the most important) that he was on the Winchester's side. That's what I loved about the character. He wasn't this little cherub that sat on their shoulders and protected them. He was an ally, but an ally who had his own duties and business to conduct and he helped when he could but, for the most part, allowed the Winchesters to live their life and hunt how they wanted. I just miss knowing he is there; even if its just in the background. I really enjoyed him as this awkward guy who become their best friend. that's what I long for in wanting him to return… just to know that he is once again their friend and ally who doesn't understand pop-culture and has a penchant for looking very confused.
        
        I love Dean and Sam on their own because that's what drew me to the show in the first place, I don't want that to change; but stories have to grow or they become stagnate and that is what the Angel storyline brought to the show – it made it grow and opened up the Supernatural world. At the heart of the show, yes, it's the Sam and Dean show; but that doesn't mean they can't have allies, friends, loves, contacts, or even a nerd-angel that really did feel like family at the end there (at least to me, just my opinion).
        
        So yeah, I miss him being on Supernatural, he brought something to it just as much as any of the other characters – Bobby, Rufus, Pamela, Missouri, Jo, Ellen, even Crowley… He gave the show a greater history. But I also understand Misha as the actor seeing this guest spot as a great job opportunity to show his acting flexibility. I wish him luck I actually like his acting, if anything, you completely believe him as his character – even if it happens to be a syfy plot about stonehenge that was honestly a horrible movie… but you totally believed him as that kooky scientist

    - For someone who started watching from the beginning. I loved when they added Castiel and the whole Angel story line. But hey it’s your choice to hate on an amazing actor.
      Comment by Catherine – November 10, 2011 07:38 PM PST Reply To This Post
      - From someone who watched SPN from the begining, absolutely loved Cas/Misha. We need him back big time on the show.
        Comment by RJ – November 10, 2011 08:09 PM PST
      - No you don’t. Season 7 is proving Supernatural is better off without Castiel. The first 3 seasons are the best. Those are the seasons that defined the show and made it so good. Cas ruined it all.
        Comment by Snapy – November 10, 2011 08:15 PM PST
      - I think all the seasons of Spnl are great, except season 6. Season 5 was the best because of the Lucifer arc. Castiel’s addition to the show in season 4 was brilliant and I had goosebumps when they introduced him. I miss Castiel, but Misha will come back to the show as Levi-Cas in future episodes. And Misha is a fine actor!
        Comment by James – November 11, 2011 12:24 AM PST
      - Cas simply makes the show better–he a great support along with Bobby for the boys.
        Comment by RJ – November 11, 2011 07:59 AM PST
    - …What a speech! long too. u type that fast? but anyway, i aggree with EVERY WORD OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! cass opened up supernatural, and that made it expand. it gave the show some ground to gain on, and they gained! i can thank misha collins for that. i think that without him, the show wouldnt go anywhere. and boo hoo if you dont like him!!! DONT SPOIL IT FOR THE REST OF US!!! i am talking to everyone who hates misha: i dare you to give those of us who LIKE misha 3 good reasons why you gate him. Good reasons. not some lame excuse because you dont liek castiel. give us 3 reasons why you dont like MISHA COLLINS, the person. if you can think of even one, post it and we’ll see if it is a reasonable answer, or just plain old chickenscratch. i LOVE misha, and if u piss him off i will hunt u down, cut out ur heart and rip out ur lungs. are we clear? for your sake, i hope e are.

- I don’t like Castiel either, but I was happy for Misha to be on Ringer, since that would mean he gets to show his talent, yet we won’t see him on SPN anymore – happy until I read that it’s only a guest star role.
  
  I really like that SPN is taking a break from the angel plot, though.
  Comment by nicky – November 10, 2011 11:37 PM PST Reply To This Post
- STFU Snapy! I loved Castiel’s character. When they killed him, I was sad, but I knew it was necessary to make the fans more invested in the show. I still love Spnl. Misha Collins is a great actor, don’t badmouth him! I don’t watch Ringer, but I’ll watch this episode just to see how he does on the show.

I am ecstatic to see Misha on another show and in another role, AND WITH DIFFERENT CLOTHES!

I hope this is just the beginning. Misha needs to start guest starring on the bigger networks.

- It’d be kinda hilarious if he showed up on Ringer with a trench coat and a blue tie.

Really excited for this! Have watched Ringer now and then but to hear Misha’s gonna be on it is great. Can’t wait to see this episode.
Comment by Renee – November 10, 2011 02:43 PM PST Reply To This Post
Please keep him on Ringer, then we won’t have him back on Supernatural, his character ran its course but I wish him lots of luck with his career and hope he gets a good role on another show, just not back to Supe. Keep him recurring on Ringer please.
Comment by Stevo – November 10, 2011 02:44 PM PST Reply To This Post
- That is a good point. I’d rather have him on Ringer if it means keeping Castiel the HELL away from my Supernatural!

  - all I read from your comments are ‘WAH WAH WAH A CHARACTER THAT SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE BUT I HATE SO I SHALL SPREAD MY JUVENILE BEHAVIOR AROUND WAH WAH’ Guess what? No one cares. Castiel will be back soon on SPN so shut your pie hole

I don’t understand people who don’t like Misha (or Castiel). I am a HUGE fan. Not only did I love his character on Supernatural, but he is such an inspiring person as well and I follow the work he does with Random Acts. I’m excited to see him on Ringer, a show I am already enjoying tremendously.

- Team you guys! I totally agree. I had ups and downs with Castiel, but I love Misha. He is hilarious, sincere and does a lot of good work for worthy causes. Seems like he’ll be a pretty pivotal character on Ringer too.

Too bad Ringer is such an awful show, Misha deserves better like maybe a big reoccurring arc on NCIS or even Law and Order SVU =) anything is better than Ringer.

I might not have liked the character on SPN but I think Misha is a great actor

Go back to supernatural where I can actually watch you
Comment by aaron – November 10, 2011 04:31 PM PST Reply To This Post
Sera ‘hopes’ to bring him back? Why not just do so, she’s the show runner! So much can be done with this character! He can fall, we can watch him and the Winchesters fix their friendship, he can become part of the family, learn to be human, deal with everything that goes with facing the consequences of his actions (though I still don’t think he did anything wrong. Dean needs to realize that). I think they completely wasted the land mine of potential Cas’ character offered the show. If I wanted to have the old supernatural back, I’d pop in a DVD.

I personally love both Misha and Ringer so this is a match made in heaven (pun intended). I was legitimately frightened by his character in Lifetime’s Karla and to me that just shows how versatile and talented Misha is. I’m excited to see him do more as an actor.
Comment by alyssa – November 10, 2011 07:52 PM PST Reply To This Post

  - Perhaps this is why you have such a hate on for Misha/Castiel. You are subconsciously associating him with Paul Bernardo.

I love this show but there are way too many characters and storylines to keep track of at this point. Also – too many vanilla, clean cut, pretty boys on this show. Love Malcom to give us some diversity – couldn’t we have a little more with this person? Do we realllllllly need another boy toy on this show???!!!!!!!!!

Misha was cast on Ringer, not Castiel. Who cares if you hate Castiel? It still doesn’t change the fact that there are others that are more of a fan than a hater like you.

The only thing that kept my interest in Supernatural was Castiel. I loved the show before he was on it, but 3 seasons of the same thing was getting boring, until Castiel came and gave the show a new lease of life. I think it’s insane that not only are they not giving him more screen time but they took him away. Insanity. Now the Ringer has him, but I couldn’t care less because that show sucks. We need Misha back on Supernatural.

Has anyone ever thought that Misha could come back as Jimmy? Castiel’s vessel? Sure I miss Castiel, but I do agree with some when they say he had a good run – unless the Supernatural crew comes up with an awesome and believable way to bring Castiel back, I’m fine with not seeing Cas. But if they do bring Misha back, I’d like to see Jimmy and what 2 years has been for him with an angel riding. Maybe he would be a hunter?

I started watching Supernatural with the highest of hopes. Got bored by early season 3. Gave up just as the angels were being introduced. Came back to the show after discovering Casteil late in season 6 and had to back track to catch up on the story line. Then Cas was gone. I also watched a lot of the interviews and videos of the various cons Misha attended but compressed into just a few weeks. He turned out to be much more interesting as a person ie. funny, quirky, obviously intelligent and a humanitarian. I also noticed he was becoming ” creeped out” by his fans and referring to the behavior as being “F’d up”. Perhaps it was Misha himself who wanted “out” and Sera is just taking the heat for him. Just a thought. Discussion, please.

Are you kidding me I loved Misha on Supernatural, Castiel was one of my favorite characters and when he left it was sad cuz once he left everyone left and so it’s only Sam and Dean. I do still love the show and I love watching Sam and Dean but it’s not the same without him or Jim Beaver(Bobby).
Comment by Tay – February 7, 2012 07:35 PM PST Reply To This Post
Good. Glad to see Misha in “Ringer”.
I’ve been a fan of Supernatural since the beginning and loved Castiel. He’s gone and I still love the show.
I don’t get why people say if you love Cas, you’re not a true SPN fan. How about you’re not a true fan for hating certain aspects of the show? Just what is a true fan? Everyone has a different definition, so cool down.
There’s nothing about SPN I hate (except for Bobby’s death, but I think the way he went was fitting, he went kicking ass and telling off his ‘father’).
For all you people who hate Misha, he’s an actor. He gets paid for this, it’s his job. Don’t hate the actor. Like geez, grow up.
