• Jo is daugher of Ellen and William Anthony Harvelle.
• In 2.06 No Exit (episode), Ellen calls her "Joanna Beth".
• Knew John Winchester as early as 1994 and called him "Uncle John" according to the original version of Jo's Blog
• She was born April 7, 1985 ^{Jo's Blog}
• Her email address is Enihpesoj91@gmail.com^{Jo's Blog}
• In early drafts of the script, Jo was called "Alex" (see 2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown for copies of sides featuring Alex.)
• Jo's Blog documents her life, and life at the Roadhouse from 1993-2006. It was part of the Hunter's Blog section on the Official Website which was first made accessible with the release of the Season 1 DVD. The content has been edited and changed significantly. Luckily, some fans have recorded the blog entries at various stages.
• In Jo's Blog we find out about her desire to become a hunter, her first boyfriend - another hunter called Rick, and her tutelage by Gordon.

• The character, initially called Alex, was originally conceived as a love interest for Dean, but even the writers admitted that Jo came off more like a little-sister character. "In hindsight, Dean wouldn't be attracted to that character...(...) He'd be attracted to someone who walked in the door, slaughtered everybody and walked out, and then he would say, "Who's that?""^{(Eric Kripke, S2Com, p. 15)} The idea of Jo as a love interest was met with fervent resistance by the fan-base.

2.02 Everybody Loves a Clown

Thinking Dean is an intruder at the Roadhouse, Jo holds him at gun point. He disarms her, but she punches him in the face.

Jo is used to having hunters hit on her:

"Most hunters come through that door think they can get in my pants with some... pizza, a six pack, and side one of Zeppelin IV."

And while Dean says "normally I'd be hitting on you so fast it'd make your head spin", in the wake of his father's death and the secret he is carrying, he concludes it is "wrong place, wrong time."

2.05 Simon Said

Jo beats a hunter at an arcade game, as Sam and Dean turn to Ash for help. Jo likes REO Speedwagon "Kevin Cronin sings it from the heart" she says as I can't stop this feeling plays.

2.06 No Exit

Jo wants to go hunting on her own, but Ellen doesn't want her to. Even though Ellen gives the case she has researched to Sam and Dean, Jo sneaks off and joins them, getting Ash to help her cover her tracks. She is flush with cash, having won it playing poker with hunters at the Roadhouse.Jo reminisces with Dean about her Dad, Bill Harvelle:

"I was still in pigtails when my dad died, but I remember him coming home from a hunt. He'd burst through that door like, like Steve McQueen or something. And he'd sweep me up in his arms, and I'd breathe in that old leather jacket of his. And my mom, who was sour and pissed from the minute he left, she started smiling again. And we were... we were a family. You wanna know why I want to do the job? For him. It's my way of being close to him. Now tell me what's wrong with that."

While hunting with the boys, Jo is kidnapped by the spirit of Dr. H.H. Holmes. Dean and Sam rescue her, and she then helps them capture and trap him.

Back at the Roadhouse, Ellen reveals to Jo that her father was killed while hunting with John Winchester.

2.14 Born Under a Bad Sign

In Hunted Jo had left the Roadhouse to become a hunter on her own, against Ellen's wishes, although Jo is still sending her postcards.

She is working in a bar in Duluth when Sam, possessed by the Meg!Demon arrives. He teases her about having a crush on Dean and then takes her hostage. The demon taunts her about her father's death. She relates the version she knows:

"Our dads were in California: Devil's Gate Reservoir. They were setting a trap for some kind of Hell spawn. John was hiding, waiting, and my dad was bait...The thing showed up. John got too eager, jumped out too soon, got my dad exposed out in the open. The thing turned around and killed him."

Evil!Sam gives his own, more horrible version:

"You see, Bill was all clawed up. Holding his insides in his hands. He was gurgling and praying to see you and Ellen one more time. So my dad . . . killed him. Put him out of his misery like a sick dog."

and concludes (in a sing song voice) "My daddy shot your daddy in the head"

The veracity of this story must be doubted as the Meg!Demon is interested in hurting Jo and also painting John in a bad light.

After Dean arrives, Evil!Sam turns his attention on him. Dean frees Jo as he pursues Evil!Sam. Jo finds Dean half-drowned after Evil!Sam has shot him. She patches him up, and wants to come with him in pursuit of Evil!Sam, but Dean won't let her.

5.02 Good God Y'All

Jo and Ellen are hunting together when they answer a call for help from Rufus to a town he thinks is under attack from demons. When Sam and Dean arrive she has been separated from her mother. When Ellen and Sam go looking for them, and find them, she thinks they have been possessed by demons. Jo calls Ellen a "black-eyed bitch" indicating she thinks Ellen is possessed. She and Rufus capture Sam, thinking he is possessed. Later, Ellen and Dean are able to break the spell War has over them.

Sam, Jo & Ellen after the hellhound attack.

When Jo, Ellen, Dean and Sam arrive at the town they meet Meg, now in a new body. She is bringing hellhounds to help kill them. When she unleashes them Dean kills one of the dogs, but he is nearly killed until Jo saves him, shooting a dog 3 times, before she is attacked herself and is badly wounded. They take her to a store and barricade themselves with salt. After a while they realise that she isn't going to survive, and they set up explosive devices. Gas tanks, buckets loaded with salt and iron-nails. Ellen didn't want to leave her daughter, and she sits down with her, crying. Sam and Dean then leaves, leaving Jo and Ellen to their grim-looking fates. The hellhounds then proceed to come inside the shop, just to be blown asunder by the explosive devices, killing hounds and humans.
