[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
She's certainly the best-suited out of the names they proposed (Emilie Ullerup? Really?).
If they have to go with a male actor (all the angels have been very clear about referring to their father, and I'm not sure if it would ever occur to Kripke to cast counter to that), what's Carl Lumbly doing these days?
But if they cast a black guy they have to be very careful that he only does nice things, or they get in trouble again.
Note that I'm a lot less mad about a lot of the black casting than many white fans. They cast some really good black (male) actors. Their female track record is a whole 'nother matter.
I doubt that when the angels refer to their father they are thinking in terms of gender. I think you only have gender when you take human form... but then the demons tend to pick one and stick to it.
As long as they don't go with the burning bush again. Talk about a cop-out...

I did love that Sam's crossroads demon was a guy, though.
I was nicely surprised that Anna was a woman, because it didn't seem clear what her gender was an angel. But then the angels have always been identified as men in mythology, so it's not surprising (even if it is a little disappointing) that they've all taken male vessels.
God has been portrayed so many different ways on screen, I'm not sure there's much they could do, casting wise, to go outside the box. I'm also not convinced we're actually going to see God.

So have the angels, haven't they?
I'd be surprised if Kripke et al go against all the father talk and cast a woman in charge of everything. It doesn't seem their speed.

I don't remember seeing an angel with more than one vessel.
Castiel did briefly take on Jimmy's daughter as a host, so there is some crossover.
Part of me would like to see Betty White in angry swearing Lake Placid mode as God.
Gabriel has pretended to be many men, but really only the one host, I think.

This makes sense. One running theme has been the recurring masculine familial relationships - brother/brother and father/son(s). God would have to be a father figure in that scenario, so a woman probably won't work.
