While it’s been almost a year since “Reaper” was given its walking papers by the CW, many fans may still be curious how series creators Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters might have wanted the shows long-running mythology and storylines to play out.
One of the biggest questions the two would have answered over time was who was really Sam’s father. During the course of the show, it was hinted that Sam could have been the son of Satan.
“If you remember, Dad wasn’t dead. And there was a whole reason why he wasn’t dead. Basically, the whole premise that never actually had the chance to come out was the idea that Dad was a demon, who made a deal with the Devil,” they said. “He fell in love with Sam’s mom and wanted to marry her. So the deal was, fine, you’re not a demon anymore. He was never fully human, either, which is why you can’t kill him. So, in the pilot, when he said he was really sick and made a deal with the Devil, he wasn’t 100% lying nor 100% telling the truth. And this is the reason why Sam is special: Sam is part human, part demon.”
““Sam was led to believe he was the Devil’s son, but that wasn’t true,” they tell ClickClack. “That’s not the reason Sam had powers — the powers came from his father. His father was really his father. And part of his deal was that he was never really allowed to tell Sam the truth, and that’s the reason why he says to him ‘there’s more to this than I can tell you.’ And part of what we tried to get out of all of this was that Sam really is special. That’s the reason why, at the end of the last season, Steve comes to him and says Sam is caught between good and evil. What we hoped to get out of the third season was what part did Sam have to play? Sam’s whole existence, and the reason the Devil was paying so much attention to him and hanging out with him so much was because there was a reason: Sam was half-human and half-demon, and the Devil was really worried that this kid was going to be his downfall. If you look at what the Devil is doing throughout the series, he’s trying to tempt Sam to be bad. And he’s trying to tempt him to embrace this, that what you’re doing isn’t so bad. The whole point was that if he can turn Sam bad, the Sam isn’t a threat anymore.”
Meanwhile, rumors that the creators wanted to include God as a character on the show were a bit unfounded.
“We talked a little about bringing the Archangel Michael in, but no, I actually think I never wanted to see God,” they said. “And there was discussion of whether or not we wanted to see Hell, and what that would be like. And it wouldn’t be like … we never really settled on anything. What would it be like? It’s not all fire and brimstone or whatever … and what is Limbo like? There’s a lot that we mused about that, if we had the time, we probably would have done. How do you do Hell in a way that fits into our world and in a way that you’d never think of.”
They also had some other plans for Andi, Sock and Ben which you can find out about by reading the ClickClack interview. You can also find out that which former “Buffy” alums tried out for and were in the running for the role of the Devil.

Ya know, if they ever did a one-shot movie to wrap the series/story, I’d watch that in a heartbeat.
Ditto.
Fairly lame storyline for the 3rd season – no doubt they would have dragged it out further to try and get a 4th.
I can see why it got dumped if that was their pitch to CW.
It’s definitely ripe for a TV movie to wrap things up. It’s a shame the actors have all been released from their contracts now.
