EW's "Ausiello Files" reports that former
Lois Lane (from the popular 90s
ABC series
Lois & Clark),
Teri Hatcher has been cast in the role of
Lois Lane's
mother for the
10th and
final season of "
Smallville".
For the show's 10th and final season, producers have scored perhaps their biggest (maybe even the biggest possible) casting coup: They've snagged erstwhile Lois Lane Teri Hatcher to play mom to
Erica Durance's Lois Lane!
As you know, Hatcher spent four years playing Superman’s soul mate on ABC’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The fact that the Desperate Housewives
star was game to do this speaks volumes about her appreciation for that
role (and the role it played in her future career). I’m sure they’re
also paying her well, too.
Hatcher will play the role of
Ella Lane,
Lois' deceased mother, who
left behind videotape messages for her
daughter, which
Lois will find during the
8th episode of
Season 10 titled "
Abandoned".

Teri Hatcher posted this
messages on her
official Facebook page:
Teri Hatcher: Thank you to
all the Lois and Clark fans who support my Cameo on Smallville (a six
year old Lois Lane's mom). It's in honor of that undying support and
well, just a little homage to what was and is an important part of my
career and life. To that end, here's some old clippings my mom has kept
around her house. Thought you might enjoy. (See them here: Lois and Clark)
Yes, I will be doing a cameo on Smallville this season. I'm excited to honor the fans and this timeless tale.
And according to
Kryptonsite:
What is your reaction to learning that Teri Hatcher
would be playing your mom in "Abandoned?"
When
I found out Teri Hatcher was playing my mom, I burst into tears in the
middle of a very comedic scene. They said "get yourself together." I had
my fan moment. I'm just so grateful that she's willing to be a part of
it.

Yay, finally!!! Awesome news! I've been waiting for
Teri to guest star/appear in
Smallville after
Dean Cain did in
Season 8. As a big
Teri Hatcher/
Lois Lane fan...this is one of the
BEST and super
Smallville casting news EVER (well...of course, after the late
Christopher Reeve,
Margot Kidder, and
Teri's former
L&C co-star,
Dean Cain to name a few
Superman related actors who had appeared in
Smallville in the past seasons)! Can't wait to see this episode (or its episode stills) already! My
two favorite Lois Lanes (
Teri Hatcher and
Erica Durance) too in the same episode!!! Ahh, I'm in
Lois Lane heaven! lol...
This video summed up my reaction of the BEST SV News that Teri is coming to Smallville...haha!!! :D
Speaking of
Lois Lane actresses playing Lois Lane's mother...it's very interesting to note here that in the past, two other
Lois Lane actresses crossed over before such as
Noel Neill (played
Margot Kidder's Lois' mom in
Superman: The Movie...she was
Lois Lane in
The Adventures of Superman series, who appeared in
S:TM, Superboy series, and
Superman Returns),
Phyllis Coates (played
Teri Hatcher's Lois' mom
Ellen Lane in
Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in the
first season cliffhanger episode, "
The House of Luthor" [
episode # 21 of season 1]). She was
Lois Lane in the
first season of
The Adventures of Superman, before
Noel Neill took over the famous
Lois Lane role. She also starred in
Superman and the Mole Men movie before it became a television series), and now
Teri will be playing to Lois' mom
Ella Lane to
Erica's
Lois in
the upcoming
Smallville's
10th and
final season!
