Interesting Facts About Supporting Supernatural Characters
The CW

When the Network requested the SPN creators to have two regular female characters, Kripke and team developed the characters of Ruby and Bela. Interestingly, the actress of Ruby, Katie Cassidy auditioned for the role of Bela whereas Lauren Cohan who played Bela auditioned for Ruby. Cindy Sampson who appeared as Lisa Braden in Season 3 also auditioned for the role, but lost to Cohan. While Bela character was a strong and independent woman who managed to get the best of Winchesters on several occasions. It came as a surprise when her character was written off in Season 3. Bela’s character received a negative response from the fans who disliked the fact that she bested out the series protagonists every now and then. The writers made the mistake of popping Bela in every other episode unexpectedly. We later learn that she also made a deal similar to Dean, Lilith holds her deal. Ultimately, Bela’s tragic backstory and demise caused fans to grow sympathy towards her character.

2. JACK

The CW

There is an interesting coincidence with the name ‘Jack’, the character of John Winchester was named Jack in the early draft of the first episode of Supernatural. But due to legal reasons, the name was changed from Jack Winchester to John Winchester as there existed a real man with that name. Many people confuse Jack as the Antichrist, to be the child of Lucifer, but in the Supernatural Universe, it was Jesse Turner who was the anti Christ. Jesse is a human & demon hybrid which makes him a counterpart of human and angel hybrid known as the Nephilim. As Lucifer was technically an archangel therefore the child he conceived with a human being would be a Nephilim. Also, Jack isn’t the first Nephilim, it’s Jane. Her heart was needed for the spell to cause the fall of the angele. She met a tragic fate at the hands of Castiel.

1. MARY WINCHESTER

The CW

Did you know both Mary and John were supposed to be involved in a car crash due to a demon in the initial drafts of Supernatural, but the plan was scrapped. In Season 12 finale, Amara resurrected Mary as a gift to Dean for his kindness. She brought back the same Mary who passed away in 1983, not aging a single day since then. The resurrected Mary Winchester is 30 years old, making her younger than her sons; Sam and Dean. Like her son Sam, she too wanted to have a normal life and her desire to lead a normal life was fulfilled to an extent, but Supernatural world pulled her back and became a reason for her demise. Similarly, Sam too wanted to lead a normal life with Jessica, but she was taken from him.
