According to actor Jim Beaver, the relationship between his character Bobby and the two Winchester brothers will intensify during the upcoming seventh season of the CW hit show.

“There are some changes coming in the infrastructure of how Bobby and the boys function,” the actor told Buzz Focus. “It’s going to throw them together in a way that’s even more intense than they’ve been connected in past seasons. I think they’re going to find themselves even more intricately working together.”

However he did suggest that everything may not run so smoothly: “Bobby’s not always going to be the go-to guy for answers that he has been.”

Supernatural picks up on The CW on Friday September 23.
