15 Reasons To Check Out ‘Smallville’ When It Hits Hulu

7: Erica Durance’s Lois Lane

I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t acknowledge that there were mixed reactions to the show deciding to bring in Lois Lane so early in Clark’s life at the start of Season 4, because most are used to seeing Lois meet Clark when he comes to Metropolis. However, it wasn’t a problem once you saw the amazing talent that was Erica Durance who is one of the top actresses to have played this character, next to Amy Adams, Teri Hatcher and Margot Kidder. Smallville’s Lois, played Erica Durance, had some new aspects added to her character, like being the cousin of Chloe Sullivan and more, but she was still everything we love about Lois. She wouldn’t take crap from anyone, always believed in what she stood for and was a force to be reckoned with. As Clark’s origin story was being told, so was hers where we see her in the early days of her journalistic career before being Daily Planet’s star reporter. Durance’s powerful chemistry with Tom Welling also became one of the show’s best aspects which also helped in portraying the iconic romance, which we will get to soon.
