Jared Padalecki Participates In “Bad-Ass Boys of The CW” Panel at Winter TCAs
This afternoon at the TCA Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California, Jared Padalecki was among the panel put on by the CW called, appropriately enough, “The Bad-Ass Boys of The CW.” Other panelists were Kris Polaha (Ringer), Wilson Bethel (Hart of Dixie), Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl), Joseph Morgan (The Vampire Diaries) and Shane West(Nikita).
Something was amiss straight off. CHUCK BASS SAT NEXT TO SAM WINCHESTER!! I’m not sure if you all have heard my dream CW promo (If you want a good laugh check it out) but it involves a vicious Chuck Bass beating at the hands of Sam and Dean Winchester. So, this picture REALLY makes me chuckle.
I’ve checked out the coverage of the panel on Twitter, and the best summaries can be found at The TV Addict and The Hollywood Reporter. One of my favorite bits is Jared describing Sam Winchester’s plight: “I’ve died, gone to hell, been Lucifer…”, Westwick, aka Mr. Chuck Bass himself interjects, “I need to tune in!” The second bit is the whole response to who’s a bigger bad-ass, Jared or Jensen.
Anyway, here’s the reports from those that were there.

There are two quotes that I found in the articles that you suggested that I have to share:
#1) The actors on the CW panel were obviously discussing what their character is doing on their show right now and Jared quips: “In all seriousness, Sam is just trying to keep his wheels aligned with the road”. I bet no one in that room understood what he was saying but I found that statement to be absolutely hilarious!
#2) Just on the heels of the whole PCA debacle, I thought it was particularly sweet of Jared to praise the SPN fans:
“Our fans are the best. . . (our show) is like a vaudeville act. We do anything we want to do and (our fans) forgive us.” You bet we do, Jared!
One last fangirl note: Jared had the very best “hair” of any of the actors in the room! ; )
D@#$ those are some pretty pretty pics! Jared really knows how to work a room. Thanks for sharing the articles.
I’ll have to check out the pics when I get to my home computer. Stupid work computer has blocked that particular site. I mean, come on, I have my priorities here!
You know as SPN fans, I think all of us had to work through all the emotions that the PCA show inflamed. But do you know what it was that finally brought me back to my “aw-w-w-w, they are just so endearing” emotional center? Reading the quotes from Jared in these articles!
Honestly, I kept remembering the little things he said all last night and this morning and I have been bouncing back and forth between laughter and just plain sighing. When he says he is like an excited little boy about Gen’s pregnancy and that in fact it is as though Gen has TWO excited little boys . . . well, doesn’t your heart just melt a little? And doesn’t that serve as a great reminder of why we love not just SPN but the real J2?
