It was revealed that a man named Otto Waldron (Alex Fernandez<\/strong>) worked with Ashton in the past to install power lines on the Shaw family\u2019s property.

He didn\u2019t divulge much more information, except denying government involvement in Ashton\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Ackles previously reflected on working with Hartley on the CBS show.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m playing the older brother of somebody that I know very well, and I get along with very well. I mean, Justin and I have known each other for over 20 years, and we\u2019ve been buds and we\u2019ve never gotten to work together,\u201d he told TV Insider<\/em> in July 2025. \u201cSo it was really fun for us to get on set. But it was also very easy because it\u2019s just hanging out with your buddy and we get to have fun and we get to mix it up.\u201d<\/p>\n
