Smallville's Lois Gets a New "Bow"
by Michael Maloney
Smallville's Erica Durance
Erica Durance's Lois Lane is getting a superhero boyfriend this fall on CW's Smallville (premiering Sept. 28 at 8 pm/ET). And while he's tall and handsome, you'll never see him wearing a red cape.
The future "Daily Planet" reporter will be paired with Oliver Queen (aka Green Arrow), to be played by Justin Hartley, who starred as Aquaman in the Smallville spin-off pilot that CW opted not to pick up for the 2006-07 season. "I haven't met him yet," Durance says, "but it's lovely that [they found a Smallville role for him]."
Will Oliver's arrows puncture Lois and Clark's forever-budding relationship?
"I'm the actress, not the writer, talking, but I think Lois being with Green Arrow will make Clark search through some of his feelings and make him ask himself why he feels that way," previews Durance.
The actress theorizes that putting Lois and Clark together in a full-blown romance potentially could harm their on-screen pizzazz faster than a chunk of gold kryptonite would wilt Superman's extraordinary abilities. "I think [the powers that be] would have to figure out how many years the show is going to go," she muses. "Then they can map out how far they can bring Lois [and Clark's relationship] along."
In other words, Durance would prefer not to see Lois and Clark go the way of Moonlighting's Dave and Maddie. (Remember how flat- out boring those private eyes became after falling into bed?) "Watching characters dance around each other and bait each other and not quite fall into sentimental love is interesting for me to see," she says. "What is also interesting for me to see is these two fighting with each other and finding out why they love each other."
Still, we all know — thanks to reading Superman comic books (and from watching Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain, Margot Kidder and Christopher Reeve, and Kate Bosworth and Brandon Routh share this dance elsewhere) — that the intrepid reporter and the last son of Krypton are destined to be together. It's like what Martha Kent told Clark last season when he lamented not being able to be with Lana. She told her boy that maybe he was meant to have somebody else, only he doesn't even know it yet. (Cut to viewers screaming at their TVs: "Lois! Lois!"😉
When Durance assumed her Smallville role back in 2004, she wanted to bring to the Lois-Clark dynamic more of the spunky qualities that Kidder did in the Superman films of the '70s and '80s. "I watched some old movies [like Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant's] Bringing Up Baby to kind of get that idea," she shares, hastening to add, "I'm not comparing myself to Katharine Hepburn, but [Lois and Clark have] a similar kind of relationship."
How has Durance's life changed since becoming Lois? "I do more traveling, my life has a faster pace, and I'm getting opportunities to do films," says the actress, whose upcoming movies include The Butterfly Effect 2 and Ecstasy.
While Clark and Lois may have to wait a while before they figure out their true feelings, Durance knows that in real life she's already been struck by Cupid's arrow. She and actor David Palffy (Blade: The Series), having met three years ago while filming an episode of Stargate SG-1, wed in January 2005. "We're quite a team," Durance gushes. "I feel very lucky. We share a lot of the same interests. I'm very opposite to Lois in that I'm nonconfrontational. Let's make love, not war."

I think Brittney Murphy would pull off a great Harley Quinn, but back to Lois/Erica, I alwasy wondereed if it was a good thing to introduce Lois Lane into the series since in the actual comics they never met until the daily planet and i also wondered why Clark wasn't head over heals fro her nad how this brave more outspoken Clark would shy and mellow or wimp out and start wearing glasses when they got to Metropolis, but I guess the series must stand alone as in it's own universe which is separate from the comics and the movies all together I don't know can anyone makes sense of this to me?

Here, here, DC. The SV writers would ruin it if they had the chance. Somethings should be kept sacred.

Actually I like the way the show is working with Lois and Clarks characters. Besides she brought a need hilarity to the show that wasn't seen with characters like Lana.
I am not saying kick the broad off. Sure I like to Laugh, but leave off with the mushy romance stuff. Clark needs to focus on growing up and becoming more than a doofus. I have enough of Clark's does she really like me? What was that look for? Will I bust her c**ch? While the world burns because he continues to be a community college drop out doofus.
😄
But he is still cute and so is Lois.
Erica Durance has a new interview in the number 206 issue of TV Zone magazine.
Here are a few excerpts from it:
Lois Unchained
Erica Durance reveals why girl reporter Lois Lane is enjoying new freedoms this year…
By Jenny Eden
...until now Clark Kent has never been allowed to kiss her. With Superman Returns in the pipeline, TV bosses decreed that Smallville couldn’t do anything that might upset the movie franchise. So it’s only now the film is out that Clark and Lois are allowed to let their romance blossom on the small screen. “They really were trying to be careful what they did with Lois,” Durance comments, “because they weren’t sure how they were going to take Lois and Clark and their relationship in the early stages of the movie. So for a long time Lois could never kiss Clark, they couldn’t have a relationship, there were some specific things that could not happen, even in dream sequences.” “...I’m excited to see what my Lois is allowed to do now the movie has come out.”
While the movie’s release means that Durance can look forward to a more interesting times for Lois during Season Six, she comments she has nothing but admiration for Kate Bosworth for taking on the role on the big screen, as the actress provoked a furious reaction from fans when she first joined the series as Clark’s future love. So she knows how hard it can be stepping into Lois’s stilettos. “I had a lot of fans that were very, very upset at me personally for coming along to steal Clark from Lana. People said I was too old for Clark or I had a few laughter lines. I don’t pay attention to any of it unless I’m having a bad day. But I’ve learned you have to get a tough skin.”
The new girl on set she quickly bonded with the rest of the cast and is on teasing terms with Tom Welling.
“When I first came to the show, I met him and he had no ego whatsoever. Now I just like to poke fun at him. Somebody that pretty you’ve got to make him laugh at himself. He comes to the set and he is prettier than all the girls.”
Come to that, the actress wouldn’t mind some superpowers herself, though what she’d do with them might not please Clark.
“I would like the combination of the superspeed and the flying. I would love to do a huge movie that was all action, crazy stunts and falling and flying and fighting, because I’m just learning to do that now. And then I want Batman’s car. I know it is kind of like cheating on Superman, but that car is so cool.”

I really really hate those ED bashers grr...
poor erica knowing about it..
start of clois 💃
you talking bout the clois thing?
In the interview,
Erica says; now that Superman returns had come out, DC comics have finally lowered the clois restrictions in Smallville.. because before which in Season 4 and 5, they were not allowed to kiss each other or have a dream sequence regarding their relationship because of the SR film, DC was fearing that Smallville might damaged the film if Clois would happen there...
might as well say that Clark can finally get over lana and start loving Lois hehe

did that help?
sorry for repeating guys.. complete version hehe
Lois Unchained
Erica Durance reveals why girl reporter Lois Lane is enjoying new freedoms this year…
By Jenny Eden
Erica Durance might be the sexiest Lois Lane ever to hit the screen (or so her internet fans would insist), but until now Clark Kent has never been allowed to kiss her. With Superman Returns in the pipeline, TV bosses decreed that Smallville couldn’t do anything that might upset the movie franchise. So it’s only now the film is out that Clark and Lois are allowed to let their romance blossom on the small screen.
“They really were trying to be careful what they did with Lois,” Durance comments, “because they weren’t sure how they were going to take Lois and Clark and their relationship in the early stages of the movie. So for a long time Lois could never kiss Clark, they couldn’t have a relationship, there were some specific things that could not happen, even in dream sequences.”
“It surprised me because I thought, ‘Do you think they are not going to realize that I’m not Kate Bosworth?’ We are two totally different girls and two totally different Supermen. So I’m excited to see what my Lois is allowed to do now the movie has come out.”
While the movie’s release means that Durance can look forward to a more interesting times for Lois during Season Six, she comments she has nothing but admiration for Kate Bosworth for taking on the role on the big screen, as the actress provoked a furious reaction from fans when she first joined the series as Clark’s future love. So she knows how hard it can be stepping into Lois’s stilettos.
“I had a lot of fans that were very, very upset at me personally for coming along to steal Clark from Lana. People said I was too old for Clark or I had a few laughter lines. I don’t pay attention to any of it unless I’m having a bad day. But I’ve learned you have to get a tough skin.”
“I think I was lucky that it is a younger Lois, so people were more forgiving. I think Kate Bosworth has a lot of guys to jump right in and so did Teri Hatcher in the series. I kind of slid into an earlier Lois so I could stumble along as Lois tried to establish herself and find her path.”
Rather than study the earlier portrayals of Lois, Durance admits she has learned to avoid watching previous versions of Superman.
“I watched it growing up, but when I started Smallville I realized I started to get too nervous if I watched somebody else playing her too much. I try to go with my gut otherwise I get so nervous I kind of shut down.”
While Season Six promises to see big changes in Lois and Clark’s relationship, things didn’t exactly stand still during the fifth year. “What I really liked about Season Five was that at the end of Season Four they were allowed to graduate, which meant the writers had more freedom to experiment with where these characters went and what they were allowed to do. Any time that you can kind of shake things up with new energy and new relationships it’s fun. Like Lex is actually really starting to make some pretty bad choices and evil choices. You are seeing a little bit more of the split between Clark and Lex, and Lana and Clark are starting to break apart. And then Lois comes in and kicks people around and says things that are awkward, and irritate Clark.”
“They keep telling me that Lois is still not really attracted to him,” Durance adds of Lois’s feelings for Clark. “She still sees him as that irritating, irritating younger brother type. That’s how I try to put it across in conversations with him so she’s thinking ‘You’re so simple, there’s nothing going on up there, because you’re pretty. You’re one of those guys that’s so naïve, so let me enlighten you.’ But I think that there probably are moments to play where she is surprise by some of his kindness towards her, because she’s not used to people being like that with her, and she’s not very vulnerable with most people. I think that’s the fun of the dance of it.
While Lois is starting to show her vulnerable side to Clark, she’s also having to get increasingly physical with people she doesn’t like. That’s meant that the actress has had to train hard to choreograph action scenes and get fit for the role. “In real life I’ve never been in a fight, so I’ve had to learn to get in there and be tough and learn to kick.”
Even tougher than the fight scene was having to get her clothes off when Lois took to the stage as a stripper in Exposed. “As Erica, I’m not comfortable with that sort of thing at all so I had to get into character as Lois and try and forget it was me,” she laughs.
Smallville was the actress’s big break, though she’d appeared in a variety of shows shot near her Vancouver home, ranging from Andromeda and Tru Calling to Stargate, which also featured her new husband, Blade guest star David Palffy, as Anubis. Palffy was her acting coach when she fell in love with him, while it was his brother Jeff who first discovered her as a model. But she thought sticking close to her roots could rule her out of a role in Smallville.
“I thought it would go to a girl from LA,” she says. “When my manager heard they might be looking for Lois he said ‘I’m going to push this for you.’ I was really cranky about the business after a bad pilot season and I was ready to go back and work at Roger’s Videos selling movies. But I got it on a Friday so I had no time to get neurotic until halfway through the first episode and suddenly I realized I was supposed to be The Lois Lane.”
The actress grew up on a turkey farm in Alberta and trained as a classical singer before she got bitten by the acting bug, and says that what she learned growing up as a tomboy on her parents’ farm was hugely important in her acting career.
“My first job on the farm was when my parents got this huge orange garbage bag, cut a hole and put it over my head, gave me some flags and sent me into the barn to move turkeys. You just have to run after them and wave, and they are scared of colour. But the turkeys were literally chest high on me then and I got attacked a lot. But I wouldn't trade my past for anything, it keeps me grounded and I learned the good old-fashioned values of getting up there and working hard."
And if she wasn’t scared of the turkeys she wasn’t about to chicken out when she walked on the show of Smallville for the first time. The new girl on set she quickly bonded with the rest of the cast and is on teasing terms with Tom Welling.
“When I first came to the show, I met him and he had no ego whatsoever. Now I just like to poke fun at him. Somebody that pretty you’ve got to make him laugh at himself. He comes to the set and he is prettier than all the girls.”
Durance thought she knew enough about Superman, after reading the comics a as kid, to get by in her new role, but as it turned out the show’s fans that have taught her some of the most valuable lessons about the characters and the story.
“Believe it or not, I’ve learnt a lot from fans. Those conventions are scary at first but they are very honest, and they know a lot, a lot more than I do. But I think the secret of Superman is that it’s a timeless story. I think everybody is attracted to the story of a hero, and that good does win, and that having good values and being a good person matters. And I think women love this idea of this guy that could get anybody but he is just in love with Lois. It’s neat the nerdy guy secretly has these powers. I have a stepson who is seven, who loves the idea of superpowers.”
Come to that, the actress wouldn’t mind some superpowers herself, though what she’d do with them might not please Clark.
“I would like the combination of the superspeed and the flying. I would love to do a huge movie that was all action, crazy stunts and falling and flying and fighting, because I’m just learning to do that now. And then I want Batman’s car. I know it is kind of like cheating on Superman, but that car is so cool.”

did that help?
As quoted in the CW Smallville official write-up
Oliver comes from Star City to Metropolis to aid in the recovery from Brainiac’s deadly virus. While in town, he meets and is charmed by Lois Lane, igniting suspicion and a little jealousy in Clark.
Clark will be jealous on Ollie 💃
But I don't really hope on having a clois rel. early in Smallville..
'cause some say that it should really be in the future
I'll be happy if there will be just dream sequence or flirting or clark liking lois..
