Supernatural star Jared Padalecki has insisted that the show will never sell out.

He told Zap2It that creator Eric Kripke has turned down product placement offers in the past.

“This isn’t a show that’s out there to be famous or to elicit more response from certain demographics,” he said. “We have a very strong creator, and Kripke stayed true. We had offers from Coca-Cola who wanted to put stuff in the episodes, and he [refused].”

Padalecki added: “[He wanted] to stay true to the story and true to the characters.”

The actor also claimed that he and his co-star Jensen Ackles are not keen on promoting products outside of the show.

“You’re not going to see Jensen and [me] on the red carpet of some body spray,” he promised. “That way, people who are fans of us are fans of our [acting] work.”

The sixth season of Supernatural begins September 24 on The CW.

When “Supernatural” creator Eric Kripke stepped down from his position as showrunner at the end of Season 5, ceding the throne to Sera Gamble, fans responded with mixed reactions.

Zap2it was on the scene of Creation Entertainment’s Salute to Supernatural in Vancouver where series stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles filled us in on the new regime.

“It was a bit of a guard change,” Padalecki says, “But it wasn’t abrupt. She’s been a big part of the show for many, many years. On that note, the show had to change a little bit. Eric’s already said that he had a 5-year arc for the show, so now that’s ended, we’ve had to change the actual show a bit.”

“I feel like the show’s totally different, just in the way that certain scripts are written,” Ackles says.

Ackles, who recently directed his first episode, has a good grasp on the changes occurring behind the camera as well. “Eric controlled the size of the script. How big it was, how many characters were written, how many different locations there were, and he was able to really dial it back and make it a doable show within our budget and the time frame that we were filming,” he says.

“I do know that from a production standpoint this year it’s increasingly more difficult to film because the shows are so big,” he continues. “We need an extra two days of work an extra million dollars of production money just to get it all in.”

Padalecki grins. “So we fired Misha [Collins]!” he jokes.

Ackles makes it clear that he’s confident in Gamble’s leadership. “I just think Sera’s kind of finding her legs a little bit,” he says. “I don’t think [the fans] will notice a difference.”

We’re pretty sure one change won’t escape our attention: “I’m naked a lot more,” Padalecki says.

Season 6 premieres at 9 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 24. Our DVR is set. We don’t want to miss a moment of Padalecki’s… performance.

I’m in a bit of a rush (working on other things) but Season 6, Episode 1 stills are out. I posted them on our brother site, Salted & Burned. Check them out!

PS: Follow the Supernatural site on twitter: @saltednburned

Added 13 HQ stills from “Swan Song”, the season finale from Season 5.

I was debating on whether or not to add more Supernatural related stuff to the gallery. With Salted and Burned, it would be double the work. My Jensen site, I focus on Jensen’s other projects and direct visitors to S&B for Supernatural stuff.

Until I decide exactly what to do, I will upload stills from Season 5 just to get caught up. I may stick to stills rather than caps. Let me know what you think, ok?

Sorry ladies, Jared Padalecki is now very officially off the market. Our best of wishes to the newlyweds.

he Supernatural stud is now super-married.

A little less than two months after confirming his engagement to his onetime costar and onscreen love, Jared Padalecki has tied the knot with Genevieve Cortese.

The 27-year-old CW star swapped vows with Cortese in the bride’s hometown of Sun Valley, Idaho, on Saturday, and it seems the whole family—both real and fictional—turned out for the event.

Padalecki’s older brother, Jeffrey, served as his best man, while TV bro Jensen Ackles was one of the groomsmen. According to a leaked page from their password-protected wedding site, several more Padaleckis (and Corteses) filled in the bridal party numbers.

The couple met back in 2008 while filming the fourth season of the demon-hunting hit, when the 29-year-old Cortese played an apparently irresistible evil demon. Congrats!

Jared Padalecki has revealed that he shares a bond with his on-screen Supernatural brother Jensen Ackles. Speaking to SFX, the 27-year-old actor – Sam Winchester in the teen drama – said that the pair have “a whole lot in common”.

“We pretty famously, since day one, have understood each other and gotten along. We’re both middle children from Texas, and our families are strong and happy, and we just have a whole lot in common. He’s a low-key guy, like me. We’re here to make a show and we’re playing pretend for a living, so we’ve always had a fun rapport and it’s been nice because it’s pretty much me and him all day, every day, so if we clashed it’d be really uncomfortable for the 125 people that work on this set.”

Padalecki added that his bond with Ackles “has grown stronger” over the years. Supernatural continues on Thursdays at 9pm on The CW. (Source)

As we roll into the end of the fifth season, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles took time out to talk with Supernatural Magazine about the enormity of it all. Here’s an excerpt from the Issue 14 interview which is on newstands now.

An interview with Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles

For nine months of the year, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles are possessed by supernatural entities. It’s like demons – or angels – have taken over their bodies and they are powerless to do anything but watch their days unfold through someone else’s eyes while they speak someone else’s thoughts and live someone else’s lives. Of course, those entities are just the fictional characters they play for their TV show, but when they’re Sam and Dean Winchester for “sixteen hours a day, five days a week – it’s like being in a different world,” Padalecki related. “I’m Sam Winchester more often than I’m Jared Padalecki!”

When Jared and Jensen are working those kinds of hours in the mindset of brothers who are trying to stop the apocalypse while dealing with their dysfunctional relationship and coping with the fact that the blood of all humankind could be on their hands due to the roles they played in freeing Lucifer, the enormity of it all can be rather “exhausting,” Ackles confirmed. “It’s been an exhausting season so far.”

What’s surprisingly not difficult for Ackles is having to pretend like he wants to kick Padalecki’s Sam’s ass to Hell and back. “I love it when they fight each other!” he insisted with a laugh. “In the past, Dean could never stay mad at his little brother, but this time he could because he has all the reasons in the world to be mad: his little brother caused the Apocalypse! I mean, come on!”

Padalecki agrees. “I love the conflict. Before it was like, ‘Oh, you made a deal with a demon, didn’t you?’ ‘Yeah.’ ‘Uh, okay. So, how long?’ ‘A year.’ ‘You suck. I’ll find a way to get you out. Hug me.’ But then the situations obviously changed, so even though the brothers still cared about each other, what Sam and Dean went through changed them both and separated them more into individuals, so their relationship got much darker. I like the dynamic of brother versus brother when they both think they’re doing the right thing for the right reasons. And I would like to see how dark Sam could get.”

Both actors don’t actually expect that things will go darker; they expect that Sam and Dean will change the destinies laid out for them in The End. “They still have their own inner demons and skeletons and secrets and all that to deal with,” Padalecki pointed out, “but I’m sure they’ll get back together and join forces somehow.” Ackles agreed, adding, “Yeah, I kinda think they’ll spend most of the rest of the season trying to fix things up and forgiving their mistakes, especially Sam, because he’s feeling guilty for Lucifer’s rising on Earth. He’s admitting his faults and trying to find redemption.”
