Nicki Aycox: 1975-2022

[Tim]

The 2022 Celebrity Massacre has claimed the original Meg.

It was leukemia that did it.

[matt]

Wow! That was a shock. I loved her as Meg 1.0.

She was only 47. Far too young.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Absolutely. Far too young to go at that age then.

Didn't even know Nicki was sick actually.

Yes, she was good playing Meg 1.0 which I know her most for of course.

My condolences to her family.

[Squad 51]

Only two years older than myself.

Just read it, and bad that we never knew she was sick.

RIP and all condolences to her family.

She had been battling leukemia for two years.

Perhaps she wanted to keep it private, to keep the tabloids at bay.

Can't say I blame her. I've seen lots of SPN cast members have made posts. The actress who played Meg 2.0 Rachel did a nice tribute, the two became friends and I know were at some cons together in the past.

Would have been fun to see the two Megs together.

It really would've on the show. Let Meg 1.0 come face to face with Meg 2.0 the demon who poesssed her.

At least the pair got to attend a convention together:

The Supernatural family is remembering one of its own.

Eric Kripke

Series creator Eric Kripke and several cast members have been paying their respects to the late actress Nicki Aycox, who originated the role of Meg Masters on the long-running CW show and died last week at 47.

"Gutted to hear the great #NickiAycox, our first #MegMasters, passed away," Kripke tweeted Sunday. "Too young. She was a delight & delivered lines like honey & venom. I marvel at how she made a simple word like 'lackluster' legendary."


Rachel Miner

Aycox first appeared on Supernatural in season 1, and quickly became a fan favorite as the demon — or at least its first human vessel — Meg. The character stuck around on the fantasy drama for years to come, with Rachel Miner taking up the role after Aycox, although Aycox would return for an episode in season 4.

"Sending love and light to Nicki's family and to all who knew and loved her," Miner tweeted. "She was always putting good out into the world."


Richard Speight, Jr.
A devastating loss. She was a great lady and fantastic actress. My thoughts are with her husband and family.


Mark Pellegrino
So sad. So young. 😢



Jim Beaver

Jim Beaver, who played veteran monster hunter Bobby Singer, recalled that Aycox was part of his first Supernatural episode and added, "She was a terrific actress and a delightful colleague."

Sad news for the Supernatural family. It appears Nicki Aycox (Meg Masters) has moved on to the next dimension. She was the original SPN badass 💃🏼. Safe travels, Nicki. I hear the next stop is fabulous. See you there. ❤️ #spnfamily #spn #spnfandom #Supernatural pic.twitter.com/rrdfXa6jKk

What lovely tributes.

[Sunday]

Beautiful tributes. I loved reading all of them.

I forgot Jim's first episode was with Nikki.

[Melinda Halliwell]

Yep, Jim's character Bobby first debuted in the last episode of season 1 when Sam dispossessed Meg 1.0 from Nicki's human host character.

The tributes sent also are lovely. It is nice the cast and crew have paid their respects which anyone will do.

[Tim]

Nicki is well remembered. 

Bloody leukemia

[Squad 51]

Indeed. The SPN family cares about each other.

[Tim]

Yup.
