She was young, she was in a relationship and that was … causing some undue stress, I believe.” However, the Days of Our Lives alum was eventually able to understand why Alba may have behaved the way she did on the Fox series, concluding, “She was under an immense amount of pressure on that show. We bickered like brother and sister,” Ackles explained. The Boys star remembered deciding to “fight fire with fire” and fight back against Alba’s jabs, which eventually helped them reach a place of “mutual respect” as coworkers. She just was like, ‘Oh, here’s the pretty boy that the network brought in for some more window dressing because that’s what we all need,'” Ackles added at the time, describing their conflicts as the “worst kind of bickering.” “I was the new kid on the block, and I was picked on by the lead,” he said during an episode of the “ Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum” podcast. In January 2022, the Supernatural alum opened up about the “horrible” experience he had working on Dark Angel, noting that Alba “didn’t make it easy” for him on set.
The costars did plenty of sparring while filming Dark Angel‘s many action scenes, but according to Ackles, there was even more tension between them off screen. During the second season, which aired in 2001, Ackles joined as fellow super soldier and potential love interest Alec McDowell.
