The Supernatural series

On September 13, 2005, the Supernatural series was launched on The WB Television Network. The creator of the project was producer Eric Kripke.

To this day, the picture "Supernatural" continues to be aired. In 2016, the demonstration of the 11th season will end.

Ordinary people are very attracted by the genre of mysticism and fantasy, because this is one of the most effective ways to escape for a while from gray reality. The project "Supernatural" provides such an opportunity to everyone who wants.

The main characters are the brothers Winchesters, hereditary hunters for various demonic creatures who travel the country, successfully fulfilling their mission. Sometimes they encounter too strong opponents, and then the fight stretches into several series. But sometimes Sam and Dean enlist the help of charming allies like Joe.

From time to time the Winchester brothers meet the same hunters for demons and witches, like them. Joe Harwell is a young girl who is also a hereditary hunter. Moreover, her father William Harwell was once a close friend of the father of the Winchester brothers, then died through his fault.

Mother Joe Harwell is the proprietress of the "House by the Road" bar. There lives their family, including the guy Joe-Ashe. When the younger Harwell does not hunt, she helps her mother in the eatery to serve customers.

Ellen Harwell is against Joe generally associating with demons and essences. But the girl is not so easily persuaded to abandon the plan. She prefers to go hunting independently and almost always returns as a winner.

The fate of the character

Joe Harwell first learns about the Winchester family, when the brothers decide to look to her mother and ask how they are doing. In fact, Sam and Dean are looking for information about his father's death: they know that shortly before his disappearance, Helen Harwell left a strange message to John Winchester .

At first, Joe is very sympathetic to Dean. But then her mother ruins their relationship, saying that the father of the boys is to blame for the death of William Harwell. Soon the girl runs away from home, as Helen forbids her to go hunting.

Dean and Joe are destined to meet again when the guy has problems with his brother. Joe helps him solve this problem, and they part for a long time.

The next time the character of the younger Harwell appears only in the fifth season. But only in order to die. Joe and Helen tried to save the Winchester brothers, so in one season they blew themselves up with demonic hellhounds.

Sometimes spectators become so accustomed to the actor in this or that image that they forget about his real name. So it was with Joe Harwell. The real name of the actress who played this role is Alona Tal.

Alona was born in 1983 in Israel. Her hometown is the resort of Herzliya. Since childhood, Mrs. Tal has attended a music school and appeared in commercials.
