Remember Dean Winchester's amulet? That leather cord with the mystical-looking trinket? It was a constant fixture throughout the early seasons of "Supernatural," a symbol of Dean's gruff exterior and secretly sentimental heart. And then, poof! It vanished in season five, leaving fans with a whole lot of questions and theories.
The amulet's disappearance coincided with a particularly heart-wrenching episode where Dean, through a glimpse into Sam's heaven, was devastated to find that his brother's idyllic afterlife didn't include him.
Convinced that he wasn't a cherished part of Sam's life, Dean impulsively tossed the amulet into the trash – a symbolic gesture of his emotional turmoil.
Fans were heartbroken. "I couldn't believe Dean just threw it away," lamented one fan on Reddit. "It felt so out of character!"
But hold on to your demon-hunting hats, because the truth behind the amulet's disappearance is even more intriguing than we thought. Turns out, the heartbreaking scene wasn't originally in the script.
It was actually actor Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester himself) who lobbied for the amulet's demise.
“The amulet was always getting in the way during fight scenes,” revealed a source close to the production.
