I will say there are plans this season to bring back a few of those, so stay tuned.

Read on for some other key moments from theSupernaturalpanel at EW PopFest.

There is that X factor of emotional connection.

Padalecki mused about his character, Sam: Everybody he gets attached to leaves, he explained.

Every time he gets too attached to something, it ends up going away.

The actors feel a bit more secure now, in season 12.

Were not afraid of getting canceled, Padalecki said, laughing.

Were not living in fear.

We dont really use it at all anymore.

Greenscreensucks, Padalecki exclaimed.

Greenscreendoessuck, Ackles said.

We had a lot of things in common right off the bat, the actor said.

Apparently, after that moment, stage directions inSupernaturalscripts started encouraging more improvisation.
