New face for an old demon in Supernatural

Report by Morag Cuddeford-Jones

AS WE reported at the weekend, Supernatural Season Five is seeing some old names return to haunt the Winchester brothers.

In the latest revelation, Erik Kripke, creator of The CW's demon-slaying show, has confirmed to TV Guide magazine that he will bring back the demon Meg that gave the Winchesters and their father so much trouble in Season One.

However the 'meat' - as the bodies demons inhabit are so charmingly referred to - worn by Meg is due to change because its previous incarnation, Nicki Aycox, is busy on TNT drama Dark Blue.

Producers have instead cast Rachel Miner (pictured) who starred on US daytime soap Guiding Light and was briefly married to Home Alone child star Macaulay Culkin. She has also been in the TV series Californication and in 2006 murder thriller The Black Dahlia.

Filming on the new season is due to begin in at the end of this week and producers are expected to reveal some of the first footage during the Supernatural panel at Comic Con in San Diego at the end of this month.
