The only thing that we should know for sure is that it HAS to be someone we care about. if it's just a random character that we've never seen before, or have seen very little of, there won't be any impact to us. I'm hoping these writers actually realize that. No matter how good a guest actor is, even if it's Meryl FCKING Streep, it's not going to have the necessary impact and drive for us to care about what the main cast would be going through trying to save them… especially after we've already seen pretty much the same situation with jackson.

If it's Brett, that could work. as a baseline supernatural creature, that could be a way to trap the beast, by using mountain ash against it. We've also already seen the hellhound try to fight him and he got his ass kicked. However, the hellhound (and Theo) isn't affected by mountain ash, and that could even the match.
