I'm glad you liked Gina, especially - she turned out to be a lot more involved with things than I planned, but very early on, she asserted herself and made it clear what her role was going to be. I liked playing with someone who was able to mother John a little.
And as for John...poor guy. He really had an impossible job, and while I think he did his best, I also think he missed the mark as often as he hit it. So I agree--I like to see him trying to balance the two aspects, especially before Sam found out and he could be more open, more direct, about hunting. I think a lot of things changed in the Winchester family once John knew that Sam knew the truth. So that makes this balancing act even more fragile.

I'm really glad it all worked for you!
