"Jim Beaver has dropped hints about his future on Supernatural. Beaver&amp;#039;s character Bobby recently returned from the dead as a ghost, surprising Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles). &amp;quot;The rest of the season is going to be about trying to resolve the fight against the Leviathans,&amp;quot; the actor told E! Online. &amp;quot;But Bobby&amp;#039;s other task is to... thwart the fates that normally condemn ghosts to become vengeful, angry spirits who are not in control of their actions.&amp;quot; Beaver - who also hinted that the finale will boast a &amp;quot;rip-roaring battle&amp;quot; - admitted that he had found the reaction of Supernatural fans to Bobby&amp;#039;s death &amp;quot;really touching&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;It was really affecting... how sorrowful the whole audience seemed to be about it,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I knew at some point, in some fashion, I&amp;#039;d probably be back - [but] I didn&amp;#039;t know for certain and I didn&amp;#039;t know when. &amp;quot;Actors can work for decades and not get the loving feedback I got on this show and I&amp;#039;m deeply appreciative of it - I don&amp;#039;t take it lightly at all.&amp;quot; The 61-year-old star also confirmed that he was excited to start work on a potential eighth season of Supernatural alongside new showrunner Jeremy Carver. &amp;quot;I hate to see [current showrunner] Sera [Gamble] go, but Jeremy&amp;#039;s a great guy,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m looking forward to working with him if I get the chance next year.&amp;quot; Supernatural airs on Fridays at 9/8c on The CW. &amp;gt; Jared Padalecki: &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m excited for an eighth season of Supernatural&amp;#039; Watch a preview for the next Supernatural below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
