Uh no. Jo was a hunter who died a hunter's death. Just like Bobby and all the other male hunters who did their jobs. Just because a female character dies it doesn't mean they are automatically 'fridged'.

Writing-wise, she died to make Dean feel bad. Period. She was fridged.

da

No, she didn't. The show didn't make her death all about Dean's reaction and Dean didn't wallow in manpain.

If anything, Ellen and Jo were killed to make the viewers feel bad and show how high the stakes were.

I would beg to differ. There's an entire episode focused on his guilt over her death when she comes back as a witness.

...That episode takes place YEARS after Jo's death. I doubt the writers thought that far in advance.

That episode is two whole seasons later, and I don't think was planned at all at the time of her death - and the episode was about Dean's guilt in general, and the fact that EVERYONE that has ever died while helping them, Dean feels guilty for. He also felt guilt in that episode for Sam's becoming a hunter, and for killing Sam's monster friend, Amy. If anything, his guilt over AMY was central to the episode as a whole.

Yup.
