Generics and explicit / implicit operators

Consider the following scenario.

I have a method that returns ISomething, but maybe Somethingor Wrapped<Something>. So I used the result for Somethingto use it, but it fails, any help as to why and how to resolve it would be greatly appreciated.

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var a = new DerivedSomething();
        var b = (DerivedSomething)new Wrapped<DerivedSomething>(a); //success
        var c = (DerivedSomething)_GetSomething(false); //success, obsiously!
        var d = (DerivedSomething)_GetSomething(true); //Unable to cast object of type 'test_bed.Wrapped`1[test_bed.DerivedSomething]' to type 'test_bed.DerivedSomething'.
        var e = (DerivedSomething)(ISomething)new Wrapped<DerivedSomething>(a);  //Unable to cast object of type 'test_bed.Wrapped`1[test_bed.DerivedSomething]' to type 'test_bed.DerivedSomething'.

        var works = ((DerivedSomething)_GetSomething(false)).DoSomethingElse(); 
        var fails = ((DerivedSomething)_GetSomething(true)).DoSomethingElse(); //cast exception
    }

    private static ISomething _GetSomething(bool wrap)
    {
        var something = new DerivedSomething();
        return wrap ? new Wrapped<DerivedSomething>(something) : (ISomething)something;
    }
}

public interface ISomething
{
    void DoSomething();
}

public abstract class Something : ISomething
{
    public void DoSomething()
    {
        //some code
    }
}

public class DerivedSomething : Something
{
    public void DoSomething()
    {
        //some code
    }

    public void DoSomethingElse()
    {
        //some code
    }
}

public class Wrapped<T> : ISomething
    where T : ISomething
{
    private readonly T _something;

    public Wrapped(T something)
    {
        _something = something;
    }

    public void DoSomething()
    {
        _something.DoSomething();
    }

    public static explicit operator T(Wrapped<T> wrapped)
    {
        return wrapped._something;
    }
}

It seems that if the type is displayed as an interface when trying to quit, then the operator was not found?

A “simple” solution would be to write a “U-turn” function, which, if desired, can expand Wrapped<Something>to Something, but I would prefer to use operators if possible.

Edit

I think the essence of the problem: outside _GetSomething()I don’t know whether Somethingor will be returned Wrapped<Something>.
