Lois Lane Wants More Smallville
Erica Durance, who is playing Lois Lane in The WB's Smallville, told the Sci Fi Pulse Web site that she'd love to reprise the role in the show's fifth season. "I would be interested in coming back, of course,” Durance told the site. "That would be wonderful, to be able to be on this show for another season."
The Canadian Durance was signed to play Clark Kent's (Tom Welling) future love interest in 13 of the current fourth season's episodes. As for next season, she said, "I think they're working on that right now and deciding how much of next season Lois might be back and where they could take the character. I know they'd love to bring her back, but there's the film coming up [Superman Returns] and there are all sorts of things in the upper echelons that I don't know reasons for, but I'll probably know what's happening for in [the] next couple of months."
Durance next appears in the Smallville episode "The Recruit," which airs Feb. 9. Smallville airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m.
