What follows is an excerpt from the interview. For much more, follow the link.

Nrama: Talk a bit about working with the team now that they know that you know. What sort of interaction are you going to have with them? Are you part of it all now, or are you still on the outskirts?

Durance: Well, I am getting introduced to different sorts of things. I'm just trying to find my niche and how I fit into things. What's lovely is actually getting to be a part of that Lois Lane legacy, so now I can contribute in the way that she does. Being a journalist and getting to investigate and going off on her own and kind of digging deeper and doing it the human way. Without any magical powers. [laughs] And what I love about her is that she often comes to the same conclusions as they do, but she obviously doesn't have the extra gifts. It's just being human and being tenacious. And there is a little more camaraderie between her and Tess (Cassidy Freeman) and Tess can see good things about Lois. They've always gone head to head but now they're kind of on the same team. All working for a common good. Most recently I just shot something where I went under cover, sleuthing for her, so that will be a fun one.

Nrama: Well, I actually wanted to ask about that relationship, because I think that's one of the cool things about shows that go on for so many years. Adversaries can grow to appreciate one another. It's a really fun thing to watch.

Durance: It is. One of the things that's great about doing...I've done seven, some people have had the full ten years...but you get to play a lot with your characters. You get to have fun and have a long arc and show that yeah, we can find moments. Especially if it's such a specific thing. This show is all about that mythology. The hero is good vs. evil. And so you kind of draw the line in the sand and find out which side you ought to rest on. And sometimes it is. Sometimes someone you thought was your adversary is your ally.

I'm interested on seeing just how they end this show. I am hoping they don't do the 30 seconds in the suit thing. This last half should hopefully be good.
