"Supernatural" season 9 may see Gabriel's return, Richard Speight Jr. teases in a spoiler - but only if Gabriel returned for a "significant" reason.

Richard Speight Jr., who played Gabriel/Trickster on "Supernatural," gave a spoiler-filled backstage interview for the Creation Entertainment's Salute to Supernatural event in Burbank back in November, TV Equals reports.

When Speight Jr. was asked if he could foresee Gabriel's return in "Supernatural" season 9, he seemed to be excited about the possibility, but only if it was done for the right reasons and in the right way.

"The idea of bringing Gabriel back has been on the table since I left," he said. "The idea of me coming back, either as Gabriel or the Trickster of a combination of both, has been on the table since [my last episode]. Honestly, because I happen to know several of the guys who are writers from other worlds, they tell me all the time that the character will be up on the board, there will be something that is being bandied about, something they're very serious about and for whatever reason it doesn't come to fruition."

But Speight Jr. thinks it wouldn't be appropriate for Gabriel to just show up in a cameo.

"Because the character had some amazing episodes and I got to do some great stuff, but what that also means is you can't just breeze into an episode and deliver some information and leave," he said.

"When that character comes back it has to come back in a way that matters, that is significant, that is consistent with what the character has been doing and how dramatic his appearances have been previously, and has to have a reason, it has to matter in the mythology of the show," Speight Jr. added.

The actor clearly expressed that he would be eager to return to "Supernatural" season 9.

"...as much as I want to come back on the show, I don't want to jump the shark with the character," he said.

"Supernatural" airs Tuesdays at 9pm ET on the CW.
