during production of "supernatural"'s first season, morgan was also working on the shows "weeds" and "grey's anatomy", so he was often traveling back and forth between los angeles and vancouver, british columbia. this interfered at times with morgan's acting, as he had trouble getting "winchester-y enough" after portraying the nice character of denny duquette on "grey's anatomy". morgan commented, "i was stuck in denny-land, where i was being too nice. winchester's harder to find. denny's more me. he's an intense guy, john is. and denny, for a guy who's having trouble living, he's just a charming dude." morgan was at first reluctant to return for "supernatural"'s second season due to his role on "grey's anatomy". although he lent his voice for the third season episode "long-distance call," future appearances of morgan as the character after the second season have been hindered due to the actor's busy schedule. nevertheless, both kripke and writer sera gamble have stated that they "would love to have him back." the scheduling conflict has continued into the sixth season of "supernatural", with executive producer robert singer revealing that the writers had considered bringing the character back in the alternate reality episode "my heart will go on" instead of ellen harvelle, but due to concerns that they would not be able to secure morgan's return, they ultimately chose ellen for the deceased character they would have (temporarily) return in the episode. during the production of the fifth season, morgan had an interview with "movieweb" in which he stated that no one from the show had contacted him about making another appearance, and expressed the desire to return for at least one more episode in what was then-believed to be the show's final season, as he had enjoyed working with on-screen sons jensen ackles and jared padalecki and he felt that john's storyline had ended too soon.
