Jared Padalecki’s Real-Life Wife Genevieve to Play his Mrs on The CW’s ‘Walker’ Series

Ugh.

Can't Jared or Jensen's wife get any acting jobs on their own?

They completely rely on their husbands for work.

He’s playing a widower — with his wife???

Wish fulfillmrnt, anyone???

Of course they would have to completely re-write the character of Walker, just to accommodate Gen.

Danneel and Genevieve are SAD.

What age are his kids? You would think he'd want a break from 14 hour days at work.

Not sure how old the kids are, but here's a picture from this past Summer.

The younger boy looks a lot like Jared.

Is Genevieve gay friendly?

Or did they just want their chalkboard to be rainbow colored?

Maybe he's frightened to take time off work because he's an alcoholic?

That thought totally ran through my mind, R7.

I wonder if the CW made it part of his contract, or if Gen insisted on being on set, to keep Jared centered.

It seems like he's a bit of a party animal.

Maybe she trusted Jensen to keep him in line in Vancouver, during Supernatural filming. But without Jensen there to watch over him, she's afraid that Jared might go wild.

Surely "dead wife" is only a cameo role?

R3 no, what's sad is the idiots who continually hate on the wives because you're faves aren't gay. Grow up.

I was doubting the statement that there are few female Texas rangers. I found a Dallas Morning News article from this past August, and of 167 rangers, only 4 are women. So, yeah, there’s only a few.

I hated Walker, T. R. the first time around. This sounds even worse. You know the partners will eventually fall in love, they always do. What will the dead wife think?

He's been working solidly since 2000 (Gilmore Girls). I agree, why do this shit?

R12 maybe he's not getting any other offers.

[quote] He's been working solidly since 2000 (Gilmore Girls). I agree, why do this shit?

Um, because he's an ACTOR. And that's his job.

Most actors only WISH they could have worked as steadily as Jared has.

The guy has been constantly employed as an actor, since he was in his teens. And he's 37 now.

That's no easy feat.

R14 plus all the money from attending SPN cons.

I don't think that poster was wondering why Jared Padalecki isn't doing Shakespeare...

I only know Gen from SPN (Katie's Ruby was better). But Danneel has had other projects while Supernatural was airing. So you're full of shit.

Hope they stay married as long as the show lasts. Otherwise . . Awkward.

It's such a great time to be doing a series that glorifies law enforcement.

Kudos to you, Jared.

I'm looking forward to hearing about all your exploits with getting less than adoring wait service.

R17 Genevieve and Danneel are both of questionable talent as actors but Genevieve is worse because Danneel at least seems to have a sense of fun about her. Genevieve is just pretentious. She's really wooden as an actress. Katie Cassidy's Ruby was the better Ruby. With regards to the wife character, she's only supposed to be there in flashbacks, which is somehow even worse. Really? Flashbacks to the dead wife? The wife who was fridged and will part of an on going mystery plotline because she died in mysterious circumstances, I'm it'll be somehow related to a case of Walker's in the end just to make his life even more tragic. LOL Given the fact that nothing on the CW gets any kind of ratings, this thing may drag out for years because they won't cancel anything if they can manage to get a million people to watch it and in a season or 2, they'll have the vision of his dead wife give him and his female partner the go ahead to be together.

Plus the gay character is going to be conservative so that way Walker can still be right all the time by making his gay brother have the outdated, un-woke views.

The same could be said about Jensen and Jared......

Well Jared is used to playing tragic characters. I think R8 is onto something with Gen mainly being there to keep an eye on him.

R19 Texas Rangers - IRL - are more investigative than enforcement.

I hope he just starts using yelp instead like a normal person.

Jared IS a normal person, R24.

Many people suffer from depression.

R25 depression is not an excuse for being an asshole on twitter to people who work in the service industry.
