Executive producer Sera Gamble tells TVGuide.com exclusively that Felicia Day will guest-star on the April 27 episode titled "The Girl With the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo." "We were so stoked that she agreed to do the episode because we're all fan girls and boys here," Gamble says.
"Felicia plays a girl named Charlie who is sort of a lowly tech working in one of Dick Roman's companies," says Gamble. "She's an amateur computer hacker and unwittingly gets wrapped up in Sam and Dean's problems. It's a classic story of an everyday girl who does not want to be in a whistleblower position."

Yay! I love her on Eureka.
ReplyDeleteShe is a good actress looking forward to see her on here
ReplyDeletelove the episode name :)
ReplyDeleteI love her and this episode sounds awesome....I totally get why they gave it that title
ReplyDeleteGreat news. I like this actress and this is clearly a mythology-heavy episode, which I feared it might not be because of the weird title.
ReplyDeleteI jumped in joy when I read of this on Tumblr!!! Oh Felicia in one of my favorite shows!! I have wanted her to guest in SPN since such a long time!!
ReplyDeleteSo excited!
I checked out this post when i saw her name. I don't watch the show (yet) but she should make a nice addition to the cast,she was great in Eureka!
ReplyDeleteShe won't be around for long. Trust me.
ReplyDeleteHA! Why do you say that?
ReplyDeleteFemale characters never last long on this show. Whether fandom loves them or hates them, they're ultimately DOOMED. Someone will kill them, blow them up, they'll end up in a new body of an actress who wasn't quite as good as the last THEN get killed, vanish from the storyline without explanation or just be told to GTFO by someone, usually Dean.
ReplyDeleteHa! Wow there must be a lot of dead bodies lying around! Well anyway enjoy her while she's just visiting,lol....
ReplyDeleteThat's all you can do with the female characters on this show. Enjoy them while you can and pray for the best.
ReplyDeleteDo love her web series, The Guild. This should be fun.
ReplyDeleteLeviathan whistle blower? That sounds like a very short lifespan. Given that this is probably not a longtime recurring role, I'd guess there's a bib involved either as punishment or as a meal. I'm hoping she's human and that she becomes the Winchesters' mole, requiring her to stay around awhile. I loved her in Dr. Horrible.
ReplyDeleteI don't really know much about this actress but I do like the role that has been assigned to her.
ReplyDeleteI loved Salander in the book.
She was just so smart and covered all her bases so well.
I'm not so sure that Miss Day's character will be as lucky in SPN so I'll sincerely wish her long-life, as I think the show needs a well-rounded recurring female character; not in a romantic sense because in their dangerous world that's just not possible, but as a down-to-earth some-one that can sort-of mother and encourage the boys.
All of those that I have remotely liked have been sent to a better, or worse, place!
The only one left is Jody but for the moment she seems to have run her couse.
And male characters not? They keep dying too - starting with John and ending with Bobby. Saying that it's just the females is a lie. Everybody keeps dying on this show.
ReplyDeleteSounds great, love Felicia & this role sounds perfect for her.
ReplyDeleteIs this the episode that had a spoiler that Sam and Dean had both dated the same girl?
ReplyDeleteno, that's for the episode before this one.
ReplyDeleteI don't buy into the idea that a romantic interest necessarily has to be a liability. Not if the woman can protect herself the way Bobby could, and she's not tagging along on hunts. Sorry, but your comment about wanting a mother figure for them made me cringe. I'm hoping we can move beyond the mommy and daddy issues and finally get Sam and Dean to the point where they're more men than boys.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you can accuse Sam and Dean of not being men.
ReplyDeleteAfter all they have been through, I don't believe there is anyone more manly than them, in every sense of the word.
That however does not exclude the fact that they, like any other human being, thrive on encouragement and understanding, and being men doesn't mean that they can't receive a kind word from a motherly person, and feel comforted by having received it.
.
Their lives just can't accomodate a stable romantic relationship in the state they are in at the moment, not even if she's the greatest hunter in the world. They have enough on their plate looking out the one for the other.
That, of course does not preclude it happening in the future, but at the moment I can't conceive that a kind word from a motherly person for two men who have never had that in their unfortunate lives, is so demeaning.
They already have a terrible life. How much more terrible and arid do you want it to become.
Interesting news...shame that she is female :P and a whistle blower for the creatures who consider humans to be a great snack
ReplyDeleteLOVE her! This is fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteI should clarify - when I mentioned a romantic relationship, I wasn't talking about a traditional relationship that is expected to lead to marriage and two kids and living in the suburbs. I meant that the show could explore Sam and Dean having other types of relationships in their lives other than parental figures, "brothers," and supernatural allies. Any woman in that role would need to be OK with their lifestyle and be able to protect herself, and there should be no kids brought into the equation. In answer to your question, I don't want their lives to become more terrible, and why shouldn't Sam and Dean be allowed to have some romance in their lives?
ReplyDeleteAs for another parental figure, I'd be more open to this if their mommy and daddy issues haven't already been done to death, but as it stands now, I'd rather see some new characters around their own ages introduced. A kind word from an older woman as fine, as long as they don't start looking to her to mother them.
As for the comments about them needing to be men rather than boys, I think they often developmentally regressed when they had Bobby stepping in as the parent figure. This isn't in every episode, but it's in enough. Earlier this year, I rewatched Slash Fiction because something about the episode had bothered me, but other people had loved it, so I wanted to give it another shot. I realized when I was watching it what was bothered me was Sam and Dean seemed to be developmentally at about the age of teenagers. First they were looking to Bobby for guidance (like teenagers looking for advice from their dad), then they repeated that with Frank. The Leviathans were serious threats, but they seemed more concerned about losing their car and their laptop than about the gravity of the situation (kind of like teenagers who don't really believe they can die). They were making reckless decisions (going after the Leviathans with no way to defend themselves). After watching Slash Fiction, I watched Monster at the End of This Book, and it was like Sam and Dean had aged about 10 years. It was a similar type of episode in that it had both humor (food and car jokes) and a serious threat by the big bad of the season, but Sam and Dean were treating the threat of Lilith like adults would, and they were very much in control of their own situation, or as much as they could be.
Thanks for clarifying.
ReplyDeleteOMG I love everything that Felicia Day does. The Guild, Dr. Horrible, hell I even loved her DLC for Dragon Age 2. I'm very excited for this episode. Let's all hope she survives it to come back some other time.
ReplyDeleteHeard about this episodes main character I think Felicia is a great choice for the part. Love the title!
ReplyDeleteI hate be negative here but I honestly can't see Sam or Dean ever having any kind of meaningful romantic relationship. They are just too conditioned and damaged by their life-style.
ReplyDeleteAs for not being allowed some romance in their lives, Dean had his chance with Lisa and he rid himself of it as soon as his brother came back into his orbit.
Even Jensen himself said that if he could change anything in the show he would never have went to Lisa.
We aren't dealing with two normal guys here.
According to canon, we are dealing with two genetically engineered human lab-rats designed one for an archangel and one for Lucifer himself.
So I would say that we can't apply the same criteria here as we would with the inhabitants of One tree Hill or Gossip Girl.
As for them acting more like teenagers now than before; what's wrong with that.
They never got the chance to be normal teens with all that that brings with it, so if now on occasion they act a little chidish, I wouldn't begrudge them that.
After all they might not be teens any more but I wouldn't say they were at the decrepit stage yet.
The big problem with the Lisa and Dean relationship was that it required Dean to make a choice - live with Lisa and Ben in a conventional relationship, or be a hunter. He didn't want to be a hunter without Sam as his partner, but as soon as Sam came back, Dean chose hunting. Any type of relationship would have be be able to coexist with their lives as hunters, which is the
ReplyDeletereason why I said no kids.
The idea that they're too damaged to every have any type of relationship is a little too depressing for me. A lot of people are damaged, and as the saying goes, there's someone for everyone, so they need to find some equally damaged women who are familiar with the hunting world and aren't expecting the white picket fence life. It can be done. It sounds like Ellen had a good marriage before her husband died.
As for the issue of developmentally regressing, I'm not blaming the characters (the writers a little, though). Childlike playfulness is one thing, but neediness and stunted emotional growth is just not something I'm interested in watching.
No Vi-Love? Come on, she was the best Potential.
ReplyDeleteLove her in Eureka. The character sounds good and we'll be seeing the Leviathans again - sounds like a great ep.
