The list of long-departed characters heading back to their CW series continues to grow, and each new announcement brings more excitement than the last. Which star are you most anxious to see?
It’s been more than five years since we’ve heard from “Lydia James,” mother of Haley, Taylor and Quinn on One Tree Hill. The always-radiant actress returns February 8 with a shocking announcement for her girls. Are there even more siblings out there? How many recall that rock star Huey Lewis played Haley’s father back in Season Two? And can it really be three decades since Bess stole our hearts in her film debut opposite Alan Alda and Carol Burnett in The Four Seasons?
Remember when Supernatural sent Dean sent back in time to meet his young parents—and his grandfather (Mitch Pileggi), who turned out to be possessed by Azazel? Next Thursday, both Winchester boys find themselves in 1978 trying to prevent the murder of John (Matt Cohen) and Mary (Amy Gumenick). The previous flashback was one of the series’ best episodes, and Sam’s first encounter with his disco-era folks will be emotional. On a side note, how is Matt Cohen not a series regular somewhere on The CW?
Martha Kent has been one hard-working congresswoman, absent from the Smallville farm for nearly three seasons. And Perry White, last seen in ‘03? It’s about time he starts barking orders at the Daily Planet. The real-life married couple returns with some big news in May, EW reports, and there’s online speculation it has something to do with “government agent/villain” Amanda Waller (Pam Grier).
You didn’t think we’d seen the last of Clay’s deceased wife, Sara, on One Tree Hill, did ya? It was the season’s most heartfelt love story and certainly ended too soon. Foreshadowing a new mystery, E! Online says we’ll see Sara again…but she won’t be Sara. Hmm.
Last season, the Canton, Ohio native delivered one of the unlikeliest twists ever seen on Supernatural. Turns out, Sam and Dean had a secret half-brother their dad never mentioned…and the kid led a normal, monster-free childhood. Well, until a ghoul ate him. On a press tour this month for Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Jake revealed that “Adam” comes back to play a pivotal role in an upcoming episode.

I always thought it was a little strange that Adam was revealed, and then only appeared in one epsisode of Supernatural. Also Sam and Dean never knew the true Adam, since the ghoul was just imitating his appearance and memories. I wonder how he will come back.
