According to an anecdote posted by Egan on her livejournal, she was extremely impressed with Jensen Ackles after seeing him audition for a role on Dark Angel. Over Egan's objections, he was not hired at that time. Later, while working on Smallville, she again tried to cast Ackles, but was informed he had just been hired... on Dark Angel. After leaving Smallville and joining the staff of Tru Calling, Egan again expressed interest in casting Ackles, but was informed that he had just been hired... on Smallville. [1]
affection slash fans have for her. On the contrary, Wilson's love affairs provides an interesting contrast with the "stupid, screwed up friendship" (1.18 Babies & Bathwater (http://www.housemdguide.com/season1/118babies.php) ) he has with House. She has the nickname of "St. Doris" in the House fandom, possibly because of her open attitude and friendliness towards fans, or because of how much House/Wilson fans like her interpretation of the relationship between the characters Gregory House and James Wilson. Egan has acknowledged her awareness of this nickname, when she half-apologized, half-joked about the contents of the then-upcoming House episode "Family": One of my respondents has drawn my attention to the "St. Doris" thing. I am touched, but must disclose that there's not as much room for chocolaty House-Wilson goodness in this episode as some might wish. The story went elsewhere, and it's always best to follow where the story wants to go.[2]
