The news of
a Supernatural spin-off focused on female hunters made me wonder which female characters
from SPN's past might make an appearance...
Here are a
dozen I would love to see pop in for a return visit. Some are from way back when, aka season one. (Hey if they still come to mind, I call that staying
power!)
A few are
dead but when did that ever stop anyone in the Supernatural universe?
12. Bela
(Lauren Cohan)
Oh, she's
fun. A sassy con artist for whom double, triple, quadruple crossing (if that’s
a thing) is no big deal, Bela is a complex character with a tragic past who
would probably enjoy a vacay from hell by now…
11. Cassie
(Megalyn Echikunwoke)
We never
saw Dean’s ex Cassie again after the first season. Such a pity because Cassie is
a reporter and they are always handy to have on board any Scooby Gang! And she
knows about the supernatural world too.
10. Linda
Tran (Lauren Tom)
I really
like how Supernatural shows a lot of respect for female characters that
are moms. Prime example: Mrs. Tran. She survived a year of torture, took her
son on the run, and even protected him when he was a ghost.
9. Ruby
(Katie Cassidy)
I know a
few actresses played Ruby well, but I’m a Cassidy fan. Deceitful and silver-tongued,
Ruby was manipulative enough to make lies seem truths, and vice versa. The ethically unreliable can equal great plot
twists.
8. Anna
(Julie McNiven)
Aka the
Angel Radio Girl, Anna’s convictions make her unpredictable. A powerful angel,
yet celestial amnesia (now a thing) meant she’s lived as a human too. Technically she died
while time travelling, so um, workable?
7. Pamela
(Traci Dinwiddie)
Currently
residing in heaven, she still has a soft spot for the Winchesters, and would
likely leave paradise to help out a new hunter crew. Pamela’s psychic abilities
would be a useful tool, and her character is a lot of fun.
6. Dorothy
(Tiio Horn)
I’m a big
Tiio Horn fan. Combine that with the potential for Wizard of Oz references, and how could you pass this up? Last we heard Dorothy’s the ruler of Oz, but
everyone needs a holiday (or quest) now and again.
5. Sarah
Blake (Taylor Cole)
Sarah is
the first girl Sam connected with in season one. She was brought back in season
eight only to be killed by Crowley. Such a waste! She had a daughter, so maybe
that could offer potential plots for her return?
3 and 4.
Ellen and Jo (Samantha Ferris and Alona Tal)
An awesome
mother-daughter hunter duo, but obviously in a pinch an appearance from either
is a-okay! Yes, both deceased, but maybe they could be like Grams in Charmed, and
mentor from beyond the grave.
2. Charlie
(Felicia Day)
Charming Charlie as I call her was
an integral part of Supernatural and frankly I wish they’ never killed her
off. Maybe there is a spell-related way linked to her time in Oz to get at
least a shadow of her back onscreen? (Fingers crossed.)
1. Meg (Rachel
Miner)
I know she
left the show for health reasons, but I still wanted to shout out to my fave
all-time Supernatural character! Nicki Aycox was great as the original Meg, but
I adore Rachel Miner’s portrayal of the disturbing AF demon.
