Originally we were torn between Vampires or Witches. and eventually we landed on Vampires. Though we didn't reveal it there are a few addition cast members our serial killer has all ready been cast, we just didn't want to give away who would play him and if we were to have Richard Chapman appear most likely in Flashbacks, he'd be played by James Gardner. Were still working out a lot of the kinks, like how exactly we'd have people turned into vampires, we plan to have all kinds of monsters descend towards Hopeside, like werewolves, witches, shape shifters, and pretty much every supernatural creature we can come up, so there's never a dull moment. So leave your thoughts and let us know what you think. Everyone's comments are appreciated.

Thanks Amin, glad you like the idea, I'm working on the pilot now actually I think it has so much more that the original had, plus I feel like the cast works together a lot better. And I never really though about the Supernatural element, I was thought of it as a CSI, Criminal Minds, NCIS type show but with Monsters and demons. But it will be so much more than that and so different. So I'll send you a copy of the drafted pilot once it's finished

So episode nine finds most of the gang in Vegas, for a movie premire of Cate's, so my idea was to cast a celebrity and have them play a friend of Cates, i'm just really not sure who. Which celeb would like to see on Winchester.
I was thinking Carly Rea Jepsen, though that's probably cause Call me Maybe has annoyingly been stuck in my head for weeks. So let me know who'd you like to see on Winchester.

Ah so in a fifty page script episode 07 is near completion and it's an important episode that will heavily impact a lot of characters not to mention the dramatic "Cliffhanger" and we introduce Lexie Sharpe who is such a fun character I think people will actually love to hate her, rather than just hate her like they do Pete. lol.

I would like to thank everyone's who applied for both positions, we've filled up the graphic Artist position which went to Adam Dale who will be joining the show when it returns in the fall.
as for the producer role which is still up for grabs - I've decided to create a little contest - basiaccly it works like this. What we really need is someone who undestands and knows the characters so the idea is everyone who applied will need to contstuct a short Mini-episode-crossover of Winchester it doesn't have to be cannon and you can be as crazy imaginative as you'd like -- for example I don't know -- maybe Blake, Tracy and Charlie were on Flight 815 and crash land on the LOST island or maybe Tracy and Blake were another pair of star crossed lovers on the ill fated Titanic or they stumble into mystic falls and have to take on vampires -- I'm not sure but all we really need to see is that you understand the characters and know how to keep them in character no matter how crazy the situation becomes - cause let's face it there can be a lot of crazy on Winchester.
Deadline for the application ends September 7th 2012 - and the winner joins the staff when the show returns in October.

Just spent eight hours adding spoilers and fixing up Winchester scrapped a character I was really excited for, in order to make room for some one who's going to be even more fun to write for. In fact I like her so much I'm not sure about the story we had planned for her anymore

So Chris has been really busy with his new job and hasn't had much time to go over the edits of the summer finale, which has been been completed for awhile. I've decided to release the unedited version this Thursday, hopefully my Grammer has gotten better than it used to be what we will do though is once things settle down for both Chris and myself we can go over the the episode and if there are any mistakes well fix them up in time for the Season 1 VDVD set. so the mid season finale will air Thursday August 30th around midnight eastern time (since I only finish work that night around 11) so technically it will air the 31st for some of us unless you live in an early time zone. The show will then return early November and we will wrap season one late December early Januany get ready, college it's never been so complicated.

SPOILER ROUND UP OF FOR SUMMER FINALE AND FUTURE Show Runner Matthew James and most of the cast gave us a few things to look forward to when the shows return, it heavy on the spoilers so we've hide them if you want to see a glimpse into the future of Winchester's finest, take a peak. Shane and Lucy ~ Love or friendship?
When we last saw Lucy and Shane both found themselves in a terrifying position, Lucy was wounded and Shane was desperate to save her. Though near death experiences aren’t exactly new for Lucy, the devolving situation will bring up some strong emotions.” Let’s face it when it comes to emotions and feelings, guys are kinda idiots. Most times guys need to feel there about to lose something before they act on their emotions.” Spoils Brie. Who also adds you can expect to see a very touching scene between her and Charlie as well in the summer finale.
Maya ~ Guilt stricken?
Maya played a very large role in what is happening in the school, though not many know it. “Though she does feel bad she’s much more concerned with Shane’s safety than anything else and seems to care very little about the people who are actually at risk” says Jana Kramer. Though Maya doesn’t have much to do in the finale you can expect some major fallout when the show returns.
Pete ~ Road to Redemtion
No matter how hard he tries, Pete seems to always land himself in hot water, now his actions have put all his friends lives at risk. “He is on a sort of path to bettering himself, but it’s a very very slow one, for every step the guy takes he seems to back pedal three steps. It’s going to be a long time before he can make the morally right choice, instead of what he thinks is right for himself.” Says Trevino.
Eve ~ beginning or end?
When we last saw Eve, she was bleeding out all over the science lab. Things seemed grim for everyone’s favorite president. Does this mean things may be coming to an end for Ashley Tisdale’s character. Well we can’t answer that question; we can tell you that she hasn’t been seen on set since the show resumed production earlier this month
Charlie ~ Zero to Hero
Things take a turn for the worse as the situation inside the school continues, you can expect to see both Blake and Charlie step up to protect the people they love. When we last saw Charlie he and his new girl friend (Cate) were driving away from the danger that was about to befall their friends. Actor Josh Zuckerman filled us in on where Charlie’s journey begins. “Charlie may be out of the loop, but don’t expect him to stay out of the action for too long. He may even break some rules.”
Blake ~ Always in the wrong places at the wrong time
Blake’s savior complex may be part of who he is but it’s definitely caused him a lot of problems since the shows beginning, what can we expect from Blake when the show returns “Blake has sort of always ran towards bullets well most other people would run the other way and it has caused him quite a bit of grief, when the show comes back several people will be dealing with the events of the finale in different ways. Blake’s plan is to stay as far away from drama and danger, though the big question is how long can he run from himself. Especially with so many around him in so much pain?” Says Actor Jake Abel.
Tracy ~ Big shoes to fill
Whether she wants it or not, Tracy is about to come into a lot of responsibility and it’s going to piss some people off, namely new softmore Lexie Sharpe who’s going to fight Tracy for everything she has. It’s going to cause a lot of problems, including straining her relationship with Blake which may not last as long as people would of expected.
The plate seems to be full for all our students as we set the stage for the summer finale. How will Charlie get back in the action, will both Eve and Lucy survive and how long will Blake be able to run from who he is, all answers will be revealed when Winchester returns.

WINCHESTER EXCLUSIVE: “NEW FACES TO SHAKE THING UP” With “Winchester” about to enter the second half of its freshman season Show Runner Matthew James and several cast members, sat down and dished about some of the new faces you can expect to see when the show returns. The first is Lexie Sharpe who will be played by Teen Wolf’s Gage Goligthy, she’s almost immediately going to butt heads with Tracy and to some extent Eve who plays a large role in their story without actually being in it. “Lexie is like Eve but on crack, she’s very head strong and stubborn and won’t go down without a fight. “ spoils Goligthy, she also has a very deep past with Blake that threatens his relationship with Tracy. Next will be Jake Everett, who is going to be sort of a mystery. He is somewhat of a ladies man and all around douche bag, “at first he show’s interest in Maya which will make things very complicated for all involved” says actor Tyler Blackburn who will be playing Jake. And like hot girls travel in packs, so do douche bags it seems as you can expect him to form a bromance with Pete. Finally a face we have all ready seen Dan Byrd’s Darren Gilbert, who will continue to spiral out of control. “We last saw him in a very broken and desperate position, sadly for Darren things only get worse” says James. So with so much going down all ready how can these new characters make things worse? Let us know what you think of the characters joining Winchester below.
