Will Sera Gamble be the showrunner for season 7 of Supernatural?

I don't know if it was announced or not, I might have missed that information. I also haven't seen a confirmation that there is going to be S7 of Supernatural. However, my wish is that someone would replace Sera. The "girly" attitude didn't work well on this show. I truey hated the the Lisa/Ben storyline.

Lisa was reintroduced to the show at the end of season 5, when no viewer actually remembered who she was. Lisa and her son Ben were just a filler for Dean's story in season 6. Dean had to be placed somewhere during the one year when he wasn't with his brother.

The decision of choosing Lisa and Ben was one of the wrost made on this show because there was no indication during seasons 3 - 5 that Lisa was someone important. Even more, there was no indication that Dean could be interested in someone like her. We were told completely different things about Dean. This man couldn't possibly fell in love or even be interested in boring, selfish, undecided, single (bad) mother.

This is how Lisa was written: first (in S3) introduced as independent though a little sluty woman, then (in S5) desperate single who willingly invited stranger to live with her and her child. In season 6 she was supposed to be the caring and loving one who helped Dean to deal with his grief. But the writers didn't manage to show that. Instead, Lisa and her brat, were presented as an obstacle in Dean's life. Lisa clearly didn't care about Deans feelings, his year of misery was the best of her life. He wanted to leave her the minute he saw Sam, but she manipulated him into staying. She had unreasonable expectations: wanted him to go, stay, go and saty again, and hated the most important person in Dean's life - Sam. She didn't care about his drinking problem and separated him from the people who cared about him (e.g. Bobby).

You can't call that love. That was sick and unhealthy relationship.
This is way it makes me angry that Sera Gamble blindly went that way. Till the end.... beacuse in 6.14 episode, the writers were trying to sell this storyline as an "epic love".
The conversation between Lisa-Dean, Dean-Ben was unreal and showed more inconsistency in writing.

One more time Dean was out of character while being around Lisa. He was written that way almost in every single episode of the first half of the season. And please don't convice me that he acted more mature and was so soft because of his deep feelings to Lisa and Ben. No, a real love doesn't make you a wussy, whiny, wimp. It doesn't suck out of you all your powers, strength and dignity. A real love makes you stronger and invincible.
Yet, in M3TR, Dean has been made a fool by demanding Lisa and her spawn.

Sera Gamble made a one big mess with season 6 and too many plotlines. To my horror, she focused on the one wich was really needless to the show - the Lisa/Ben storyline.Also Robo!Sam story was dragged for too long.

Another factor that was against the Lisa/Ben/Dean storyline, was the fact that there wsa absolutely no chemistry between the actors. Not even a single sparkle. Nothing. JA did everything he could and as usuall presented the best of him. But this was like flogging the dead horse. I always knew that the choice of the actress - Cindy Sampson, wasn't good.She and Jensen look awkward together on screen. It is really a mistery to me because JA has a great chemistry with everyone, even with the objects.

If Sera only concentrates on reviews like this: "OMG, that was freakin' awesome!" written in big pink (or green) font by teenage girls, then I'm not surprised that overtanned, hungry for "smoosh smoosh" Snooki-Lisa was on SN for so long.

I'm so disappointed by first half of S6 which looked more like a parody and soap-opera than original SN, probably because it was based on fanfiction stories.

So, comming back to the queston: will Sera be the showrunner? Probably yes because my wishes hardly ever come true.
