For a long time I thought John went to Heaven. Now I'm not so sure. I think Hell dragged him back cause they were still trying to get him to break the first seal? Not sure when they gave up on him. I think it was before Dean arrived, but I don't remember...I don't think the show has told us where John is.

That last scene always gets me. Those two are great actors.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that plotline was totally dropped. Or Azazel was just fucking with him.
