Supernatural Cast: Where Are They Now?
7. Genevieve Padalecki - Ruby
The character of Ruby, a demon devoted to the return of Lucifer, was played by four separate actresses. Alongside Katie Cassidy, Anna Williams, and Michelle Hewitt-Williams came the star performance of Genevieve Padalecki (then-Cortese).
Genevieve had a total of 13 episodes credited as Ruby between 2008 and 2020, one episode of which saw her starring as herself in season six's The French Mistake. Aired in 2011, this marked Genevieve's final Supernatural appearance until she reprised the role of Ruby for one episode of the final season.
The Californian has since appeared in only a handful of productions since, which included the culmination of her role as Kris Furillo in ABC Family's Wildfire. Genevieve's final episode aired in May 2008, a few weeks away from the exact three-year anniversary of the series' pilot.
Padalecki starred in the 2012 drama Hated, but this - coupled with her aforementioned 2011 appearance as herself in Supernatural - marked her final acting credits for a while, taking time out to care for her and then-Supernatural co-star Jared Padalecki's three children.
Genevieve returned to the screen when she was cast in the recurring role of Emily Walker in the 2021 reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger. The show was renewed for a third season this past March.
