Jared Padalecki offers Supernatural Season 9 spoilers on Sam and Dean's relationship and spinoff show

Dean successfully expelled the angel Gadreel from Sam in the most recent episode of Season 9 of Supernatural, but the older brother decided to walk away from the younger brother after Dean blamed himself for the ruination of those around him. The two have always found their way back to each other when they've separated in the past, but how will it happen this time?

"It's going to take something big," Jared Padalecki (who plays Sam) told TVLine. "They're handling it as you expect them to. Sam kind of goes introverted and Dean goes forward. Sam is more the kind of guy that thinks something out and says, 'Well, you know, this is where you messed up [and] this is why I'm upset.'... It's nice dichotomy to catch on camera and, hopefully, Jensen [Ackles] and I get a chance to do a good job with it."

As all of this is going on, Sam will still be dealing with the after effects of Gadreel's time inside his body.

"It's more emotional than literal and physical, but he certainly is still feeling the bruises," Padalecki said.

Finally, Padalecki commented on the Supernatural spinoff, which will get a backdoor pilot later in Season 9:

"I think it's great. Episode 20 [of Supernatural] is going to be the launch of [the] new show, and I think it's awesome. We've seen other shows on our network be able to have successful spin-offs," he continues. "I think it's a cool story to tell. Supernatural fans have spoken and said listen, there aren't 100 million of us, but those of us that do watch the show are passionate and want to hear more stories and read fan fiction and be a part of this world. So I think it's great. Anything that makes them happy. It doesn't put any money in my pocket, but I think it's cool."
