'Supernatural' To Add New Recurring Characters
With the filming of Supernatural's fourth season set to begin soon, producers are now looking to cast a couple of recurring characters that could shake things up a bit.
I'm told that a girl named Kristy -- in her 20s, sexy, snarky and adept at adjusting to any and every situation -- will come aboard in the season premiere and stick around through at least episode five.
Castiel -- a dude in his 30s or 40s, charismatic, calm and very good at getting people's attention -- will also be introduced in the premiere and will probably stick around for some time.
Any thoughts on these new characters? Casting suggestions? Think you'll welcome them more warmly than Bela and Ruby (Katie Cassidy, photo, left)?

I actually liked Ruby. Bela was eh, but Ruby, I liked her and I liked the interactions she had with the brothers. Really sad to see Katie leave the show. As for Kristy...can I volunteer to play her? Not that I'm an actress or anything, lol ;-)
They handled Ruby and Bela totally wrong. Katie C***idy was totally overacting and one dimensional in her stance and reactions. They should have never had Bela shoot Sam or always one up the guys.
I actually liked Jo so let's hope they write the new characters so we can appreciate them.
I loved Ruby. I know the actress can't come back because that body died in the finale but they should bring the character back. Bela was just not a good fit for some reason
I didn't care for Ruby at first, but she grew on me. I will miss her. Bela, I could take or leave. I miss Henrickson (snarky FBI man) and Gordon, until he went vengeful. The show needs more color. Maybe an African Amer., Puerto Rican, Asian or Latino/Latina unknown. (Bela and Ruby were unknowns, as were Henrickson (?spelling) and Gordon. And they were all enjoyable characters. I trust the show's casting.
Have they learned NOTHING? It seeems very clear that the fans are quite content with the characters they already have ... every time they try to introduce a female recurring character (ostensibly as either a future love interest or protaganist) they have enormous negative fan backlash ... and yet, they have repeatedly done away with the recurring characters we universally DO like .. are the producers or studio *bigwigs* TRYING to destroy the show? We DONT CARE about *new recurring characters* and if anything, it makes us (the fans) LESS excited about the new season ... we want to see a show about Dean and Sam --- not about male fantasy hormone-inspiried cast additions that make the main characters look like bumbling idiots. This is not Guilligan's Island ...
For the most part, agree with SPN Browncoat, although I found the male character with the mullet that was a genius but humerous who they killed off along with almost everyone else in Ellie's(?) bar at the end of the second season very funny. Every show on TV has a seductive female in it. This show is unique in that the 'beauties' are the male leads. Don't ruin it and make it just like almost every other show on TV. Besides, the guys do fine on their own and it's nice to have the story get wrapped up each week.
I hate it when they introduce new characters. I don't like any of the recurring female characters. They need to learn from their mistakes and just keep it like the first season, with just the brothers. I didn't like Ellen or Jo in the second season. And I didn't like Ruby or Bela in the third season. For the fourth season it should just be the brothers and Bobby. Bobby is one of my favorite characters besides the brothers.
I think that we should wait and see what the characters are about before anyone dislikes them. We know that we're supposed to see a supernatural entity that we've never met before...so that means that it should either be the girl or the guy or it could be both.
We also know that Rufus is going to come back. With the budget cuts we're not liable to see anyone else other than Bobby with the boys for most of the season.
I'm going to agree with SPN Browncoat here also. I thought since they let go of Ruby and Bela we'd finally be getting our show back like it was in Season 1 but nope I guess not. After reading spoilers for Kristy it seems to me they are making the same mistake yet again.
I guess I am going against the crowd here. I liked Ruby and Bela. I wished they would have stayed around for season 4.
