How do you feel about the addition of two "Love Interests"

[cherrybun]

I saw an interview with Jared on YouTube and he basically said that the relationship between the brothers changes in this new season. They are no longer on the road together, the two girls play a major part of the show. He said Bela and Dean feature alot together and by the sounds of it, him and Jenson dont work that closely together any more. I think this is so sad and just what I was afraid of. I love the show because of the brothers relationship and it sounds like that is to be no more.

I heard that those two girls will just put the mess between the Winchester brothers but, after the kind of negative answer councerning this addition of 2 potential love interests, Kripke said it was never planned to make Bela and Ruby girlfriends of Sam and Dean... I really hope so because if it willn't be like that, it can be disappointing... Anyway, we'll see it with the 3rd season!

I sure hope they won't turn out to be love interest. To me, SN is mainly about the brothers. I don't need any addition of love interesst. In fact, I prefered that SN could mostly do without those until now.

I totally agree with you! SN don't need to see the girls as potential love interests for the boys! They're better like we know them and that's just like that they have to live.
But seeing Bela and Ruby putting a mess between the Winchesters could be funny... just if they keep together...

I think we should just wait and see what happens in the season before we decide how much the boys relationship changes. From what I understand, its going to be kind of a switch with Sam being the overprotective one, trying to save his brother as opposed to Dean trying to save Sam, so maybe that's why what they're talking about.

As far as Ruby and Bela go...lets just wait and see you guys.

Hold on there. I think the new female leads will be fabulous to add interest, depth and more substance to the show. I LOVE this program BUT at least will give the producers (they have done great so far!) the benefit of the doubt. IMO, I feel the new girls should be given a chance so hold your tongues until you have seen them in a few episodes! I'm actually looking forward to Katie Cassidy, who's a talented chick! We may all be plesently surprised! Don't be so quick to judge...before you even see one epidode? Get a grip! Relax and have a little faith in the writers too! Geeeez.

I've said this before and I will say it again. I have faith in Krikpe, who I don't have faith in the CW producers who may or may not push for a romantic interest whether the fans want it or not.

I'm trying not to judge the girls but I will say this. I don't like the idea of a super sexy badass 20 year old huntress who is just way more badass then Sam and Dean (who were, you know, trained since they were toddlers by the militarily trained father to hunt demons). I think it is just a reason to throw hot chick into the show, not to add any depth. Adding depth would be expanding Bobby and Ellen's roles in the series, expanding on the universe they have created with the multitude of characters they have introduced. Maybe even expanding Jo's role later down the line, maturing her into a more adult character. Adding depth would be creating a more complete universe full of all kind of different hunters, not just sexy 20 year olds.

I have a problem with the addition of these two characters because CW can't seem to funcation unless there is relationship drama going on and that bothers me. I'm putting my trust in Kripe and I think I may even like Lauren Cohen's character, but as of now, everything I've seen and heard about Katie Cassidy's character makes me not like her even more. And I will go into this with an open mind and push my bais aside, but that doesn't stop me from forming an opinion right now. I don't like characters who make Sam and Dean seem like they suck at their job (male/female young or old, doesn't matter) because you're talking about two people who were trained since they were very little on how to do their jobs. They are soldiers in so many aspects, that having people come along and just be way cooler than them annoys the crap out of me.

That'S actually what's bothering me the most about the addition of the two girls: That it kinda seems to happen only because of the network pushing that idea onto Kripke et al. Now I don't really know what's Kripke's part in adding Ruby and Bela but I kinda get the feeling that it was something cooked up by the CW execs because they just can't stop meddling with certain shows in order to get the ratings up while mostly receiving the opposite effect. I don't fault them for that but it often seems to me like they don't listen to the fans of the show(s) one bit. Of course they aren't obligated to give the fand a certain storyline but they shouldn't alienate them either and so bringing the ratings even further down (and they already tried adding a young female character with Jo before and that didn't go too well from what I gathered- yet they're trying it again. Why oh why?)

[meimei42]

Because they think adding girls will draw men in.

Heath says they're ugly and he doesn't like that they say the blonde is gonna make Sam and Dean look like the Hardy Boys. He likes Jo though LOL.
