Exclusive: Meg Donnelly star of 'The Winchesters' gives all of the juicy details behind playing Mary, the cast/crew, and working with Jensen

48 minutes

Meg Donnelly is one of the most authentic people I have ever had the pleasure of sitting down and talking to. We start the conversation by getting properly into 'The Winchesters' -- her character and the cast. We talk about the storyline, her arc, and the future. During the conversation, she constantly praises her fellow castmates, crew, and writers. She downplays a lot of the skills she has infused into Mary, and I find myself continually reminding her of how good she is. After talking about the show for a while, we can't deny the fact that its predecessor Supernatural looms over us in more ways than one. So we begin to talk about what it was like working with Jensen on and off screen, seeing the Impala in person (and getting to drive it), advice Jensen gave her, celebrating Dean's birthday party, and that epic finale. We also manifested hope for a renewal of the show. While we talk, we find ourselves relating to one another in more ways than one as the conversation flows so effortlessly. After I was done recording, we both stayed on for a while, just talking about life and some fun things we can do behind the scenes for season two. It was a joy to get to know Meg on a deeper level, hear about her family, and constantly laugh together. She is a great person to know and hopefully a new friend for life. Enjoy the interview and the fan Q&As we added in at the end!
