Thought you'd like to see that:
Wha...Hey, Anj. Thought you'd like to see that:<br /><br /><b>What can you say about Lois Lane’s sister Lucy (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) coming on to the show? Is she on for the long term?</b><br /><br />Yeah. She’s going to be heavily recurring. She had been in a relationship with James Olsen, and when he left Metropolis, he left her, and she’s coming back to fight for her man. But what’s really interesting about it — and one of the things we’re very conscious of, and why we’re so excited to get Jenna — is that we’ve seen shows where that “other woman” comes and the audiences so despises her… you don’t even understand why the male actor would like her. And Jenna is so likable and so winning and so personable, and is so kind to Kara, that part of you is sort of rooting for Lucy, too. She also ultimately ends up defending Supergirl against General Lane. So, Lucy’s kind of a hero in her own right.<br /><br />http://www.ksitetv.com/interviews-2/supergirl-ep-andrew-kreisberg-talks-red-tornado-lucy-lane-more/73952/<br /><br />As someone who hated General Lane and Lucy's developments in WONK, I'm glad that Lucy at least will be far away from that. And hearing that "the other woman" will be good/likeable is a plus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-27153876310200571532015-08-06T07:30:13.423-04:002015-08-06T07:30:13.423-04:00Given that we don't really know what the role ...Given that we don't really know what the role asks for, let's just assume that as a frequently cast actress, she'll be fine. She certainly brought it as horror freak Teresa in American Horror Story - feisty.<br /><br />A silver-haired Lucy would look good, but to me she'll always be the blonde she was for most of her comics career.<br /><br />Now, who gets to be Lena Thorul?Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-38822590329627630742015-08-05T12:08:17.965-04:002015-08-05T12:08:17.965-04:00> At least, I hope that overall the focus will ...> At least, I hope that overall the focus will be on the comics. <br /><br />Well, from what you'd indicated you'd heard from the mouth of Dan Dido, may be awhile yet <br />before we get any comic news, so I for one will take any Supergirl TV news as I get it :)<br /><br />And thanks for tempering this casting news with the fact that longer term, we've no idea<br />whether these slots will be one-offs, recurring, or what. You said it best once when you<br />indicated that Supergirl needs a strong supporting cast, both friend and foe. They're <br />definately reaching into the Superman/Supergirl mythos cast for sure... it's how they're<br />going to use them onscreen that's the question mark at this time. <br /><br />I for one would hope that these are not going to be one-offs and that they'll have some part <br />to play in Kara's life and development as the series progresses.<br /><br />I'm also going to reserve judgement on Dewan-Tatum's appropriateness for the role till we<br />actually see her on screen.<br /><br />But yes, Optimisim Level +1,000,000!<br /><br /><br />RegardsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
