Supernatural

Supernaturalis perhaps one of the most-followed fan bases ever to grace the entertainment platform.

The Original Last Name

The boys weren’t always going to be Winchesters.

So, Kripke’s lawyers made him change the name.

Sometimes things align just right for a show, and this is a perfect example.

What’s In A Name?

Castiel, played by Misha Collins, is an integral part of the show.

Supernatural Cast

Audiences everywhere love him.

The funny thing about this character is the origin of his name: a Google search.

Sometimes Google really does know the answer.

Later, Jensen Ackles' wife Danneel joined theSupernaturalcast as Sister Jo in Season 13.

Ironically, Genevieve Padalecki played a demon and Danneel Ackles an angel possessing a human vessel.

In any case, the boys have each had their wives on the show, making for interesting workdays.

Age Differences

We all know Dean’s birthday: January 24, 1979.

We also know Sam’s (Jared Padalecki): May 2, 1983.

Ironically, the actors who play them are a year older than their characters.

Ackles was born in 1978, while Padalecki was born in 1982.

It’s no wonder why it’s so easy to believe they’re brothers.

For Morgan, Dean is his middle name in real life.

Obviously, Ackles' first name onSupernaturalis Dean.

Meanwhile, Padalecki’s character that he played onGilmore Girlswas named Dean.

Funnily enough, Ackles and Padalecki have joked at conventions as to who makes the best “Dean.”

Bobby’s Appearances

Everyone knows and loves Bobby (Jim Beaver).

We can’t imagine the show without Bobby, simple as that.

Yet, Bobby was only ever supposed to make aone-time appearance.

You may have noticed Singer’s name in the opening credits.

It’s kind of cool and thoughtful to include the names of those behind-the-scenes into the show.

Upon discovering there was already a Bobby Manners in South Dakota, the show stuck with Bobby Singer.

We have a neighbor of Kripke’s to thank for the change in car.

Hence, now we have Baby, a character as important as the Winchesters themselves.

We’re glad for that.

Jensen Auditioned For Sam

Yes, that’s right.

Ackles originallyread for the part of Sam.

Luckily, Padalecki’s audition changed the casting and Ackles was offered the part of Dean instead.

Can you imagine Jensen playing the brainy, sensitive Sam over brawny, aggressive Dean?

Season 15 no doubt has more of these surprises, and we can’t wait to uncover them.
