* Cassie Robinson, also from the first season, had great potential to be a love interest for Dean, as she was one of the few women from his past that he was shown to truly love, and he was the one who promised to return to her despite her insistence that it wasn't going to work. She never appeared again. This was especially glaring when Lisa Braeden was reworked as the girl of Dean's dreams who he goes to see before planning to say yes to Michael, and (temporarily) settles down with after Sam's HeroicSacrifice.

This was especially glaring when Lisa Braeden was reworked as the girl of Dean's dreams who he goes to see before planning to say yes to Michael, and (temporarily) settles down with after Sam's HeroicSacrifice. This is not helped by the fact that (like Missouri) she is black and her replacement is white, given Supernatural's general issues with race and representation.



* Way back from Season 1 there are two examples: Missouri Mosely from "Home" and Cassie Robinson from "Route 666", who never appeared again after their episodes. Missouri's role as psychic was taken over by Pamela, even though she was an interesting character with some history with the Winchesters, and despite Cassie being possibly the only woman Dean was shown to ever love and the fact that he told her he would come back for her, when it came time for Dean to return to a former love interest Lisa was used instead. This is not helped by the fact that they were both black and their replacements were white, given Supernatural's general issues with race and representation.



* April Kelly certainly makes an impression in her one episode, and an evil, rogue reaper with a sexual history with Castiel could have been at the very least a reoccurring villain.

* Joshua is the AlmightyJanitor of Heaven who comes across as their OnlySaneMan, but then disappears for seven seasons and only returns to be pointlessly killed off with no further development or real plot importance right after [[YouAreInCommandNow taking charge of the remaining angels]] and seeming to be having them on a reasonable path based on his lieutenant's interactions with Castiel.

* At least one of these pops up per season: there's Meg's brother Tom in Season 1, most of the psychic kids in Season 2, Bela Talbot from Season 3, and so on.
* Season 8 has Samandriel, AKA [[FluffyTheTerrible Alfie]], the angel who bargains for Kevin on behalf of Heaven in "What's Up, Tiger Mommy?" and one of the few non-Castiel angels to not be a [[LightIsNotGood huge douchebag]]. He's somehow captured by Crowley offscreen even though he's probably more powerful than him. After two episodes of being tortured for information, he's rescued by Castiel... [[spoiler:Who is then [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled]] by Naomi into killing him.]]



* Benny. Badass FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire, Purgatory veteran, and FireForgedFriend to Dean at a time when he didn't have many. But he was the center of a Sam/Dean conflict, so he had to go.
