Titan Publishing has passed along an interview excerpt of Nicky Aycox (Meg Masters) from the latest issue of Supernatural Magazine. Actress Nicky Aycox tells all about returning to Supernatural in season four as a now-ghostly Meg Masters.
“I swear, after everything I heard about you Winchesters, I’ve got to tell you, I’m a little underwhelmed. First, Johnny tries to pawn off a fake gun, and then he leaves the real gun with you two chuckleheads. Lackluster, man. I mean, did you really think I wouldn’t find you?”
That’s Nicki Aycox’s favorite Meg Masters quote from Supernatural, especially the “lackluster” part. So it’s a good thing her performance as Mrs. B. on the TV series Over There was far from lackluster. When Kim Manners directed an episode that focused on her character, it was the relationship they built on that set that led the future Supernatural executive producer and director to personally select Aycox for the role of the demon-possessed Meg Masters.
“I really enjoyed working with Kim, because he’s a very straightforward, honest man and an easy person to understand,” Aycox reveals. “He could make himself very clear, tell you exactly what he wanted, how he wanted it to look, and I really admired that, so we became friends who really like to work together in an artistic way. He’s been a mentor [in that regard] ever since.”
Aycox’s character, Meg, has been a fan favorite ever since she appeared in the season one episode Scarecrow. But even she didn’t know what she was in for back then. “I knew that I was going to be [on] for more than one episode, but we really just felt our way through it… We just knew it was gonna go until we felt the storyline had come to an end.” Meg Masters’ appearance in the season four episode Are You There God? It’s Me… Dean Winchester proves there’s never a true end to a character on Supernatural. So far, Aycox has played a human, a demon, and a ghost– could zombie Meg be next?

Symphony For The Devil

ISSUE SPOTLIGHT
Jared & Jensen
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have had quite a season so far on
Supernatural, so perhaps it’s no surprise to hear they’ve been

FEATURES
The Producers On Season Four
As the fourth sensational season of Supernatural continues, The Official
Supernatural Magazine speaks with the show’s producers Eric Kripke, Robert
Singer, Phil Sgriccia, Ben Edlund and Sera Gamble, about and what lies ahead
– from angels to demons, magic acts, and sibling rivalry: “Season three
really set up what’s happening in season four in terms of a totally
different dynamic for the brothers. What Sam’s been doing with his powers
and Dean’s relationship with Castiel sends them on a collision course that
will ultimately resolve itself, but it’s the biggest conflict we’ve played
to date for sure.” – Robert Singer.
Meg Masters and Mitch Pileggi
It’s not all about Jared and Jensen – we talk to two much-loved Supernatural
guest stars in the latest issue of The Official Supernatural Magazine. First
up, after the scary return of Meg Masters as one of the ghostly Witnesses in
season four, actress Nicki Aycox tells us about Meg’s anger, being shot at,
and how she felt seeing Jared Padalecki playing the Meg demon. Meanwhile,
Mitch Pileggi tells us about making his mark on Supernatural in the
action-packed In The Beginning – we ask the actor who plays Sam and Dean’s
grandpa about kissing, swearing, and the joy of being ol’ Yellow Eyes.
Myths and Legends: Angels
Exploring the mythology of the world of Supernatural in each issue, this
time around The Official Supernatural Magazine looks at the history and lore
behind season four’s most intriguing arrivals – angels. Until Dean was
pulled out of Hell by Castiel, the Winchester brothers had a skeptical
attitude towards angels, but this was the work of the Right Hand of God –
someone who is an extension of God’s power. The symbol of the scar in the
shape of Castiel’s hand on Dean’s shoulder left the brothers in no doubt
that this angel was like nothing they had ever met before.
