Salute to Supernatural Boston 2011 August 5-7 2011 which aired after Eve's last episodes last episodes in April, which is one I watched completely confirms that Eve is older than "All" angel including the Archangels. However, her creations are NOT older than angels, or even the first demons. It also goes that she can cut an Angel's connection from Heaven and cut them off from the remaining power inside them hence her saying that Castiel was unplugged. However, she cannot do this for the Archangel but all other Angels. This was done by God to protect Eve's place in the Natural Order, as according to this Salute she falls into the same power class as pagan deities. And even if she could cut an Archangel's connection, it doesn't weaken them. The only thing it does it prevent them from going back to Heaven. Sidenote, that was confirmed in Salute to Supernatural convention in Vancouver, Canada from August 27-29, 2010 the first one for season 6. And one thing they talked about was the only thing the Heavenly connection gives to Archangels is the ability to return to Heaven. Upon furthering discuss, it says that is the reason Lucifer didn't just go to Heaven in Nicks body. However, it was also stated the current ruler can connect or disconnect an Angel at will. Hence why Castiel was disconnected from Heaven after the first resucction, but not after the second time when Michael was sent to the pit with Lucifer.
