There were only four Archangels. Gabriel, Raphael, Michael and Lucifer. Two are dead and the other two are locked in Lucifer's cage. And bringing back Gabriel wouldn't be believable, we saw his burnt wings when he was killed. I was thinking of a way to have Richard Speight come back that involves a trickster who uses the illusion of Gabriel's vessel. That would be neat.
