07/23 - Series creator Eric Kripke reveals: The girls are recurring regulars, first of all, which means that our contracts with them, tops, puts them in 12 out of 22 episodes. That's tops. So there's no reformulation where it's the four of them together where they're in every episode. We're introducing them very carefully. We're not jamming them in every episode. They weave in and out of the story, like other hunters have on our show in the past. It's not the four of them in every episode. Bela shows up, and then Ruby shows up, and then the boys are alone. So they're just inter-changing as they're traveling around the country. They're just bumping into different characters. They're also bumping into Gordon, Agent Hendrickson, and Bobby and Ellen, because we're opening up the world of the show. [...] There's a misconception online that they're being introduced as love interests. They're not being introduced as love interests; they're being introduced as antagonists. [...] To introduce them as their own fleshed out characters in their own right, who are raging pains in the ass, and trouble, and dangerous, and then sort of see what happens. I've already broken the first 10 episodes, and, so far, there's nothing even close to romance. It's closer to they're going to come to blows with each other. [...]The trick is to not introduce them as love interests. The trick, we feel, is to introduce them as fleshed-out characters with their own inner lives, and then see what develops. And the other thing is, the girls are very separate and very different. And very rarely are they in the same episode, because they're each serving very different storylines. Ruby (Katie Cassidy) is this demon hunter, who is ruthless and a little crazy and rough around the edges, and doesn't share the same moral conscience that either of the boys share. A little unhinged in that way. There's going to be a big twist about Ruby very early on. As early as Episode 2 you're going to learn something very fascinating about Ruby. Bela (Lauren Cohan) is actually something we never presented on Supernatural before, which is someone who lives in this world who actually isn't a hunter. She's a thief and a mercenary. And all of these amulets and magical objects that the boys are always stealing and using to fight creatures, are actually worth a lot of money. And there's someone to buy and sell them. And she's really not interested in the altruistic or obsessed or revenge-minded motives of hunting. She's interested in a free market economy and making a buck. She's in it for herself. That's someone they've really never come across before. 'I don't really care if you stop that ghost, I want that amulet,' which if she disappears with it the boys are screwed. [...] This is a season where war breaks out. And there's no longer any of this, 'Who's the psychic kid? And I should follow the yellow-eyed demon, what?' It's war. We're at war. Choose a side. It's the end of the world. We feel this is the most exciting season yet. We feel this is the season to join the party. [...] Source: TV Guide Online
07/23 - Katie Cassidy and Lauren Cohan, who will join the cast of The CW's Supernatural in the upcoming third season, told SCI FI Wire that their characters were brought on to be adversaries to the two main characters, not necessarily love interests. "I know that these characters are being brought on to be ass-kickers," Cohan said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour on July 20. "My character is being brought on to compete with the boys." [...] "My character is basically a mercenary," Cohan said. "So she's out as a solo artist. She has her own agenda, and she's very centered and focused on what she's doing. She has her hands on a lot of the stuff the boys need, and she sells it. And she's very much about negotiating. And sparks may fly between her and the boys. Sparks my fly between Ruby and the boys. I think there's going to be some fighting before there's any romance." Cohan's character, Bela, will join the cast in the third episode, which airs Oct. 18. Cassidy (the daughter of '70s teen idol David Cassidy), meanwhile, will appear in the season premiere as Ruby, a fellow demon hunter who lands in the path of the Winchester brothers. Cassidy said that while her character will be fighting on the side of good, she won't be making the boys' life any easier."She's definitely a demon hunter on their side, but she also likes to stir up a little trouble," Cassidy said. "Ruby is a demon hunter, definitely kick-ass, bad-ass. A little bit mysterious. Definitely manipulative. Loves to be in control of the situation. She's always a couple steps ahead of everybody else. But she's got everything together. She's on top of it. And she knows what she wants, and she's out to get it." [...] In the case of Cohan, the character of Bela was changed specifically to accommodate her British accent. Executive producer Eric Kripke has even developed a backstory for the character based around her British origins. Source: Sci Fi Wire
07/23 - This season on Supernatural, Sam and Dean Winchester get some help fighting evil in the form of two tough-as-nails female hunters.

"We were excited to find both Katie and Lauren; they just popped off the screen for us, and they bring charisma and intelligence to their roles." Source: TV Guide Online
