User blog comment:Ceilingburn/why are there no recurring female characters on SPN?/@comment-1509826-20130327182549/@comment-7514263-20130327195327

we are totally aware there have been some recurring female characters (jo and ellen were our favorites!) but but but most of these characters (save charlie- but hey who knows?) have met grotesque and untimely ends or were sexy placeholders. our problem is that they just die a lot or are romantic foils. i mean, come on, we live in a post buffy world- they could have some recurring female (again, i know that is charlie but they could ahve two) that exists beyond having her death test or bring the brothers together. couldn't there be oh i dunno a female hunter that weaves in and out of their lives? there were plenty of characters that seemed to exist like that ie missouri! she easily could've been a recurring character that guides and teaches them but instead she just disappeared (i mean maybe hte actress didnt want to come back, there could be a myriad of explanation). but she isn't the only female character that had the makings of sticking around and then just disappeared from the supernatural universe without an explanation. charlie is probably the solution to this problem but i mean...hey it would be nice to have it addressed. buffy, and i hate to keep contrasting it to that cos they are super different shows but both do focus on demon hunting etc, had plenty of recurring characters that popped in and out. and some of them didnt die. but you cant deny that every single female character (save charlie) has pretty much met an untimely end.
