Jensen Ackles Leaves “Supernatural?”

Eric Kripke did gave a very sarcastic answer during an interview that cracked me up:

And then about the finale, “No Rest for the Wicked,” I assume Jensen Ackles’ character dies and that’s the last we’ll see of him on the show? Yes, Jensen wanted to focus on movies, and he wouldn’t give me the 25 percent salary kickback I demanded, so he’s leaving the series. Chad Michael Murray is joining the cast to replace him, and next year will be like that season on Dukes of Hazzard where it was Vance and Coy instead of Bo and Luke. Everything’s gonna be a little bit off, but it’ll be good…I think you’ll like it.

Jason Voorhees joins “Supernatural”

This is the oddest cameo I’ve ever heard of for a TV show. “Supernatural” just gained the rights to have Jason appear on the show. Yes that’s Jason Voorhees from the “Friday the 13th” films. Apparently the Winchester boys are going to go head to head against everyone’s favorite hockey-mask killer.

“We have Jason from Friday the 13th, the character with the hockey mask,” show creator Eric Kripke tells the “Supernatural” fanzine. “He shows up in episode 10. We have cleared the rights to actually use Jason. We have a twist on it so it is not really Jason out there but we have found an interesting way to bring him in so Sam and Dean fight Jason from Friday the 13th. In our world, that is a pretty cool guest star.”

Word on the street is that “Supernatural” wanted to bring back Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but that JDM’s schedule is so booked that they couldn’t. So don’t expect Daddy Winchester to show up during sweep months.

“Supernatural” Adds Two Females to the Cast

“Supernatural” is adding two female roles to the show who will be series regulars. A lot of fans are upset about this because they feel the girls will obviously be love interests for Sam and Dean. This has caused the shows executive producer to give one of the best quotes I’ve heard all summer:

“We are not turning into One Tree Hill with monsters – I swear. I’d rather put a gun in my mouth.”

Other than that AWSOME quote… the interview here is actually a decent interview. It talks about why they added the women and the general direction of next season. The two women being added to the show will be monster hunters and will be played by Katie Cassidy and Lauren Cohan. I’m not familuar with Cassidy but Cohan was the really hot chick from “Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj.”
