When a show runs as long asSupernaturaldoes, it can become difficult for regular viewers to realize how much their actors age up with the story that they have followed. With the advent of home media and streaming, fans can see how jarringly different these actors looked at the onset of any long-running show.
However, the same is true when the opposite happens. Especially in shows likeSupernatural, where characters are immortal and often played by younger actors, sometimes it becomes really difficult to peg how young an actor actually is, as opposed to the character that they are playing.
Reddit has a tough time believing that Ruth Connell is as young as she is
Fans onRedditoften discuss what shows have to offer in the most minute details. Ruth Conell, who played the role of Rowena MacLeod, has been the center of many threads, specifically because the actress looks much older than she really is. This could be in part because of the character that she played, but fans are baffled that she is still younger than some of the show’s viewers even today.
While some fans are busy discerning why she looks the way she does, others are still flabbergasted at how young the actress really is. When it comes to shows likeSupernatural,Lucifer, andShadowhunters, young actors could often be asked to essay the roles of creatures and characters that are 100s if not 1000s of years old. This could often lead to them being styled in a certain manner that causes the audience to associate more mature traits with these actors, causing them to appear older than they really are.
As popular as the show was, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles actually lobbied for less of it
Supernaturalended its epic run with fifteen seasons and just more than 320 episodes. However, there were some episodes that Jared Padalecki andJensen Ackleswished they had never done.Padalecki largely attributed thisto the little padding that the show had to use to meet its episode count.

The actor and Ackles had lobbied for a lesser episode count, about thirteen per season, in the interest of preserving quality over quantity, but the suggestion never got picked up, given that the show more or less kept its episode count uniform for the most part.
Supernaturalas a show managed to keep its episode quality pretty consistent, which allowed long-term investment from fans to froth over on the internet, which immensely helped how fans received the show, and how the word of mouth was spread from one person to the other. As a result, the show ended up having a large cultural impact, essentially starting the careers of its lead stars.
