I agree. Get rid of Ruby and Bela now! They annoy me so much, especially Bela!! The don't add anything special to the show. I don't even know why they r there. The brotherly love makes the show so much more special and close to our hearts.

i read that eric kiripke likes the characters of bela and ruby. No chance of getting them then! Looks like we are stuck with them for good.

I think the brotherly love that we knew in season 1 and 2 has gone now. It may never come back in the same capacity it was. The girls have ruined that part of the show. I still love Sam and Dean but I will miss that part of the show like crazy, I could almost cry when I think of what it used to be like.

Bela is the worst addition to a TV show - ever.

As a one or two episode story arc, it would have been interesting to see them interact with someone who knows what they know, but uses that knowledge in such different ways. It COULD have been a couple great episodes (assuming they had gotten a much better actress).

Instead they make her a permanent cast member who does nothing but ruin the show, and we have broad hints that she will *someday* reveal some tragic tale that makes her what she is, and I suspect there's a "poor Bela" episode in our future where Dean and Sam help her avenge whatever tragedy befell her. Guess what - I won't watch the episode.

Bela detracts from the show everytime she is onscreen.

Leaving aside the terrible acting and the gratingly put-on, over-posh, over-enunciated accent ... the character as they have created her is tremendously annoying and contrived. And she has not once actually served a needed plotpoint - nothing she has done in the show was something *Bela* had to do, and certainly not something a recurring character needed to do.

And I particularly despise the lack of character continuity they have created by having Bela continually get the best of the boys. It is a betrayal of every other episode that establishes that Dean and Sam are gorram good at what they do - it is ridiculous to think that they would be "fooled" by her so many times, or that they would so naively "trust" her (even grudgingly) again and again and again. When Bela is on, they become the Keystone Cops ... bumbling incompetents who follow around an estrogen emiting entity like they were lap dogs. I *cringed* at the ghost ship episode, and had to stop watching the horrifying dream sequence seduction with Sam ... sorry to break into Valley-speak, but, AS IF!

I don't even need them to "kill" Bela ... just don't ever have the character in an episode again. Admit they failed with whatever "addition to the show" they were striving for, and move on.

Ruby actually seems to be serving a very important role in the overall story arc. And the actress is far more competent than the one playing Bela. While I am getting a little weary of the "Ruby saves the day" routine, I am intrigued to learn more about her motives and what she's really trying to accomplish.
