When Robbie Thompson, Jensen Ackles & Danneel Ackles made it a point of keeping the door open when it came to characters from "Supernatural" appearing on The CW's prequel spinoff series The Winchesters, the SPN family has been speculating and scouring through SPN canon to come up with possibilities. One of those possibilities was confirmed earlier today, with TV Insider reporting that Richard Speight Jr. will step out from behind the camera to reprise his role as Loki during the eighth episode. Speight's Norse demigod is described as "dangerous as he is wily," with a "veneer of whimsy to mask his malevolence," and who "thrives on crooked games and sowing chaos- and Hunters are one of his favorite playthings."Richard's an old friend of mine, so it was a question of when, not if," Thompson revealed. He added, "I think it was in New Orleans actually when we were shooting Episode 2, so I wasn't in the writer's room, obviously. But I was reading their notes and was like, 'Hey, wait a minute….,' and then I just got really, really excited because it felt like [they'd come up with] an opportunity for us to welcome a friend that we've seen before, but maybe not in a way that folks are, are expected."
