I remember Carver saying in S8 that he wanted the brothers to "mature", to explore what it was like to be separate, to be their own person. But I see it as a starting place, cause that's not how they ended up. From the same interview you gave me the link to, Jared says this...
Ultimately, “Supernatural” is really a show about two brothers and their relationship and their struggles and their loyalties and their sacrifices, and so I knew in my heart of hearts that even though season eight started out with Sam having gone off to try and live another normal life with the character of Amelia (Liane Balaban), I figured it was a way to remind both the audience and the cast and crew what the show was about. I thought season seven might’ve gone a little off the reservation, but in a strange way, by steering even further off the reservation and having the brothers not even be involved with each other [at the start of season eight], it really reaffirmed for everybody what the bread and butter of the show is, which, in my opinion is the relationship between the two brothers, so it was a nice rekindling and repartnership of Sam and Dean.
So, even though Jeremy is saying that the bromances will be tested, in ways that aren't going to be comfortable... I think that even though there will be angst between the brothers, that it won't be about separating them, because their bond is the heart of the show.
