Stacy Haiduk and Emily Procter were sophisticated and sexy. Well, really Haiduk's Lana was Lois by a different name.
I don't remember them. Which shows were they on?
She could've played Lois herself in a Teri Hatcher sort of mould. I think she definitely doesn't come across as the home town girl-next-door type. There's something too sophisticated and sexy about her for Lana.
Part of the fun of the original/classic Superman and Lois dynamic was the flirtation, the courtship and the hijinks that ensued from a love “triangle” consisting of only two people. But this has become old hat. Consequently, newer iterations have this famous couple in a committed and stable relationship. And arguably, this represents a more mature take on the material. Certainly, one aspect of the Superman & Lois premise - married with children - speaks to this new and different approach.
However, there’s also another aspect.
The setting is Smallville; and one of the regular characters is Lana Lang - Clark’s old sweetheart. Moreover, the Lana actor looks like a supermodel. So what at first appeared to be a step away from the typical CW romance melodrama is now seeming like a step towards it.
Not to say that Chriqui can't play the part or that she'll appear conspicuously/inappropriately glamorous. Still, the casting choice is... curious.
Haiduk was Lana on Superboy, personally my favourite Lana too
As best as I can recall, that’s a fair reading of the pilot script.It doesn’t really feel like from the pilot script there’s gonna be much tension there that she is Clark’s ex.
Having read the pilot script I really will say to people calm down re panic over the love triangle.
I'd have preferred if he, played by Aldis Hodge, would've been in Supergirl instead of Jimmy. I could accept him in the role here.I wonder if they will introduce John Henry Irons and have them date like they did in the comics. I preferred that relationship to the Pete Ross one.
