'Lucy Lane' Is Coming To SUPERGIRL; Are We Getting A Love Triangle...Or 'Superwoman'?
Lucy Lane played a minor role in Smallville, and she's now set to make her presence felt in Supergirl, the upcoming comic book drama from CBS.
TV Line reports that CBS is now looking to add Lucy Lane to the cast of Supergirl. Little is known about this take on the character, but she's expected to be around mid-20s to early 30s and is described as being as "brash, funny and beautiful as her sister Lois, yet strong, smart and successful in her own right." The hunt for an actress to fill the role is ongoing as Lucy will make her first appearance in the show's third episode. Just like in the comics, she will be the ex-girlfriend of James Olsen, and the site speculates that this could lead to a lover triangle involving those two and Kara. They also point out that Lucy at one point became Superwoman after being manipulated by her father to target Supergirl. It's too soon to say how much of that will factor into the series though! You may recall that The Flash's Peyton List previously played Lucy in Smallville.
