I was SO looking forward to the Creation Tour’s Supernatural con in Boston in June – Jared Padalecki wasn’t able to be at either of the other two 2026 cons so far, so this was the first time I’d be seeing Jared and Jensen onstage together since the fall of 2025. That is WAY too long!
It’s only a short flight – literally too short for even a soda – and miraculously it was even on time, so Thursday was a good day. I got set up in the vendor room and then joined a friend for a lovely dinner on the outdoor patio of the hotel restaurant. The clam chowder was of course delicious (as was the dessert)!
Friday I caught a little bit of the Matt Cohen and Gil McKinney panel, two of my favorite people If you haven’t seen Matt’s new film ‘Exes’, starring him and Briana Buckmaster, what are you waiting for? It’s streaming on Prime Video or wherever you stream your entertainment.
For some reason, Matt was letting everyone know he is definitely not a soup fan. I mean, look at that face.
What he would like is to be on the new The Boys prequel, Vought Rising, along with Jensen Ackles. He has the look for sure – what do you say, Kripke?
Speaking of being perfect for a part, Gil auditioned for Mad Men – he definitely has the look.
Matt told Gil the story of when a doctor looked into Jensen Ackles’ ears and went on and on about how he had perfect ear canals.
Matt: That is the most aggravating thing I’ve ever heard.
Gil: It’s just unnecessary.
Matt: He’s handsome, he’s nice, he’s talented, he’s kind… and he’s got perfect ear canals? (kicks him offstage metaphorically)
Hilariously, Matt shared that Grok called him “the Temu Jensen Ackles” hahaha.
One willow wish?
Gil: For Henry Winchester to have had more episodes!
I also caught a little of Ruth Connell’s panel – Rob greeted her with the most adorable hug.
Ruth was surprised to get off the plane and find men in kilts – and also someone who was from where she grew up!
She talked about something I’ve thought about often – how instrumental the casting agency was in making Supernatural the wonderful show and set it ended up being. She gave props to Robert Ulrich for that incredible casting.
