Another Supernatural Love interest For Sam

With the announcement that Sam (Jared Padalecki) is to have yet another love interest in Supernatural, as reported by TVLine, you have to ask why they bother?  Aside from providing a plot line and to continue the show further.

Sam has had many love interests over the 8 seasons of the show, from Jess who was killed and he blamed himself and felt guilty for a long time, then he met Sarah in 1.19 Provenance, but that didn't last and she was never heard from again cos they weren't ready to make that much of a commitment, what with the pitfalls of their 'family business' and all the death and hardship that involved.

Seems Sam didn't get much action for a while.  Along came Bela (Lauren Cohan) and Ruby in season 3 (or I should say Rubys with both Katie Cassidy and Genevieve Padalecki) and there was clamour from the fans.  You see Supernatural fans don't like our Winchesters to be paired up with anybody.  Luckily Bela was no good and there wasn't any romance involving Ruby - the first one - until season 4 when she was replaced by Genevieve.  I personally liked Katie Cassidy as Ruby.  But I didn't like Lisa and Dean's storylines.  It gave Jensen a chance to play Dean as lovestruck and totally committed, but it just didn't fit in with the show.  they get in the way of their fighting spirits and almost always get in between the boys and their brotherly relationship.


Sam's behaviour became a nightmare for Sam and Dean (Jensen Ackles) alike since Ruby was an evil demon and led Sam astray, into all his blood drinking to make him strong and fight demons in a way Dean couldn't imagine.  So after Ruby there was no one else for him since Sam was now firmly established into following big brother's one night stands lifestyle.  Sam was just into instant gratification. Well he had no soul so he didn't care what he was doing, one way or another.

In season 8 Canadian Liane Balaban has been cast as Amelia and she is set to recur.  Many a groan can be heard from fans who prefer to see Sam and Dean single!  Even if they are unavailable in real life! She's seen as a "tragedy-damaged soul" which just mirrors Sam and his past.  We know how tragic their lives have been, filled with heartache and loss, so she's meant to be a kindred spirit in that respects.  Yet we can only hope she too turns out to be evil and no good. hey I'm only repeating what most are thinking.  Perhaps 'soul' is the operative word here and there's more to this than meets the eye.  Considering Sam had no soul for a while in season 6.

Well, let's face it, their lives haven't change and they find themselves in peril everyday, how are they still going to balance life on the road and hunting with a female in tow.  Supernatural is a 'scary' show, or at least was during the earlier seasons when it first began.  It doesn't strike me as being a melodrama in the romantic sense of the word.  There's too much to cover with myths, legends and urban legends, as well as the 'supernatural' element to get bogged down with deep and meaningfuls.

Love has been done on this show and doesn't work. there haven't been any happily ever afters.  Romance has been seen to wreck the heart and mind and maybe the stories, but we'll have to wait and see.
