I feel like something needs to be cleared up, hence, public post.
I've seen a lot of anger online about Misha Collins' inclusion as a series regular in Supernatural. A lot of this anger seems to be based on why he and not Jim Beaver (who has been on the show off and on since s.1) has been elevated beyond Guest Star.
At the Vancouver convention, Jim told us that he was offered series regular status, with both the job security and the financial benefits that would entail. Unfortunately, it would have basically necessitated his moving to Canada, and he didn't want to disrupt the life of his daughter, Maddie, and so he declined.
Misha has not been promoted in place of Jim Beaver. Let's move on, kids.
