Generally, I prefer the brunette actresses on this show. That being said, I think that, if pressed, Faith is probably my favorite Supernatural episode, and Julie Benz is probably my favorite guest actress. She was so good as Layla, and I will never forget that last scene between her and Jensen. It was amazing. They had really good chemistry, and she was one of the few guest actresses that wasn't there to be saved and flirt and get to kiss Dean at the end. There was a lot more to her than that.
And I agree, Julie Benz was one of my favorites. JossVerse for the win! :) I love that episode! So good.
Personally, I don't like the cross-generational pairings in SPN. I really see Ellen as a mother figure to them so it feels as wrong to me as Dean/John, ya know? But on the acting front, yes, absolutely agreed.
And I really realy loved the actress who played the cop on Benders; I think she and Dean had an excellent chemistry, mainly because she wasn't meant to be a love or even flirt interest at all. The less they force pairings on me, the less I like them. Just once I wish they would bring on an actress and not hint towards any sexual tension or possible pairing...Meg was looking pretty good in that sense, but still...just once *sigh*
I have more thoughts but they're kinda swirling around and mixed, so. I'll leave it at that.
But the whole blonde vs brunette point is nil.
Ahem. Sorry.
Anyway, I'm glad that you did ticky boxes, because some of these are horribly hard to choose. I tend to ship Sam with Jo on down the road, but he is smoking with Ruby in the short term. Choosing the worst actress was easy (CASSIECASSIECASSIE), but best was tough. It wound up being a three-way tie between Lenore, Molly, and Casey.
And with you on Cassie. UGH. Painful! And also agreed on your picks (for the most part) for best.
I seriously hoped I'd enjoy Bela's character,but unfortunately I don't.She is much much better than Jo,but no-not liking her.I have no problem with actress,she is decent and lets say I've seen worse,Sandy comes to mind.
As for the best actresses-obviously Julie Benz,Amber and Samantha Ferris!
I'm not sure what it is about Ruby but she kind of rubs me the wrong way. I'm trying to keep an open mind but so far I prefer Bela. What can I say? I feel the chemistry there a lot more. I think most of the female demons try to be too sassy. I think the only one I really liked so far was Casey in Sin City.
And agreed on the best actresses! :)
Oh, and I ship Bobby/Ellen. I think they'd be adorable, in that "if you cross them they'll break your legs" kind of way.

But generally I do usually prefer a brunette actress, but most of the time I take it on a case by case, depends on how good of an actress they are.
I have some fave blonde actresses, definitely, like Maggie Grace, but I often seem to prefer the dark-haired ones.
especially because I don't remember the names/faces/acting abilities of half of the women you mentioned *g*
Though I loved Ellen, and I thought Sandy really couldn't act - so those were my choices.
As for Bela and Ruby, I'm actually liking both of them, though Bela a bit more, maybe because she's somewhat a "bad" girl, but not a demon, therefore I trust her a bit more for the future developments.
