Erica Durance Shares Choices Made as LOIS LANE & CLARK KENT’s Relationship Developed

[@victorfreitas6785]

i'm a simple man. Whenever i see Erica Durance in a thumb, i don't think twice and click to watch. i love this woman.

[@easyalpha1]

She is a doll...and down to earth plus humble.

[@Hysterion]

Same here, loved her always.

[@thomasstengel7356]

She was great in the show. There was such humor to her. And, obviously, she's gorgeous and, clearly, very bright. Total package.

[@AlaborJinta]

[@danw4490]

She is the best Lois we've ever seen. She's got it all.

[@Johnny82Utah]

Erica got me through seasons 8-10. I will forever be grateful to what she brought as a character in one of my favorite shows of all-time.

[@jamiehunter3567]

Such a natural beauty. And a fantastic actress. A big fan of Ericas

[@floodgates182]

Lois and Lana are really metaphors for Clark's two sides: the ordinary human (Lana), where he's always kinda ill at ease because he has to tamper down on a large part of what he is, or the hero (Lois), where he can really live out his personality to the fullest, even though it is a handful to deal with. That's why Lana is always in earth tones, and Lois and Clark are routinely dressed in red and blue.

[@MarkSmith-th1ij]

Erica is just so incredible!! Her acting skills and badass attitude made her the best Lois Lane ever!! She and Tom were amazing together and between they elevated the Lois and Clark relationship to an incredibly high level!!

[@44excalibur]

What made Tom and Erica's performances as Clark and Lois so great was not just that it added a new element to the show, there was also a sense of comfortable familiarity about them. From the moment they did their first scenes together, they played Lois & Clark so effortlessly, it was like they were picking up where Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher had left off a decade earlier. Tom and Erica didn't need to learn how to be Lois and Clark, they just clicked and went right into Lois & Clark mode as if they'd already been doing this for ten years. When you saw them in season 4 after Erica joined Smallville, you were like, 'Oh my God, it's Lois & Clark! They're back!"

[@halimahiman]

💯💯💯💯💯💯 Absolutely!!! Smallville would have never resonated with me, personally if it weren't for Clois ❤ starting in Season 4!! Lois and Clark 4 Ever! 😊

[@gracerose4537]

They are my fave tv couple 🫶 they balance each other out perfectly

[@sofiadrosos1308]

Erica is the best. She did such a great job as Lois Lane. Her and Tom had such a great chemistry. Love them.

[@lilacmist04]

Such great chemistry between these two, even now. You can tell they genuinely had fun together and make each other laugh. Something I love about Lois and Clark, like Tom said, is the fun romantic banter that Lois brings out of Clark. She lightened up Clark's life, brought in some joy, and they still had romance and unconditional support for one another. Great job to all of the Smallville actors!

Great clip and it’s nice to get Erica’s thoughts on how she was portrayed, I think she did a brilliant job and I really liked the chemistry between Lois and Clark🤩

[@thedarkknight1971]

To say that Kristin and Erica have matured extremely nicely over the many years since the show was aired, would be a vast understatement. Both were AB-SO-LUTE-LY STUNNING in their own right then, and both are still INCREDIBLY STUNNING now, but with the bonus of actually experiencing their true every day personality and sense of humour... As a genuine compliment, whoever these ladies touched with love and shared their hearts and lives with...Fortune certainly smiled upon those individuals... 😍👌 😎🇬🇧

[@gamehappenings]

Its too bad Allison Mack didn't mature nicely

[@captainawsomeist]

I loved Smallville's version of Clark and Lois' relationship, and how they kept it fresh, yet also familiar! Tom and Erica did an amazing job, and their chemistry was insane!

[@lukescribner9100]

It was actually 6 x10 when Clark and Lois kissed. He pretended to be Green Arrow to hide Oliver secret identity from Lois.

[@Knan_L]

Probably was the kiss at the first time they recorded, not necessarily in the order of the episodes

[@latifahraleb2137]

I loved Clark's face after he kissed Lois. When he ripped the mask off. ❤

[@carlmullerlane]

Erica is just amazing. Stunning, even now, with a fantastic personality. She's obviously gorgeous, but even more importantly, she's someone you would actually enjoy spending your time with. Whether as a partner, friend, work colleague, or whatever. She really is a gem of a person.

[@somebuddyX]

She was wonderful. I love how they developed the character and the relationship. I was really happy seeing Clark and Lois actually a couple during the last season.

[@alyce831]

@somebuddyX Even though we saw them more as couple in last season they technically were a couple since season 9.

[@babs4848]

for me the fun was watching them before being a couple. Love/hate banter, attraction, jealousy. They had them all for many seasons and it reminded us that Clana was never the right choice after Lois showed up. The time they spent as a couple is enough for me, otherwise they could have been boring.

[@michaelsamuel4159]

She's beautiful then and now!

[@desertgardener777]

They should've cast Erica and Tom in the Superman & Lois series.

[@heatherrosetarot]

This is why seasons 8-10 are my favorite (although really, Lois and Clark's relationship journey started from season 4 and onwards.) Erica and Tom did an outstanding job of portraying Lois and Clark in the Smallville universe. They never had Lois be a part of Clark's life at a younger age before, and Smallville handled that unique journey to eventual romance so well. Not that there weren't a couple story arcs that I didnt like, but mostly I can't say enough good things. "Crimson" is my favorite Red K episode, ever. For SO many reasons. 😁❤️👍 I was actually wondering if that's how they approached all the kissing scenes, make-out scenes, even the one love scene in season 10... choreographed, like a dance, that's one reason it looked so good on camera, and why the chemistry and emotions of the characters could be felt through the screen. It was so believeable and very well done. I liked the many points brought up in this snippet of the podcast. Were there any closed sets? I wondered about that too. Oh, and Erica, I know what you mean about being over 40...you are too funny and down to earth, but you are gorgeous inside and out! ❤️

[@explorer96core73]

For the KZbin Committee >> Why did you remove this conversation completely ??? My last remark had also been removed on this particular conversation >> no rules were broken 👀.....just a discussion between 2 individuals. I loved Lois and Clark eventually...>> Erica did a great job....but actually Lois should not really be in this show cause this was before he became Superman (that's where he meets Lois for the first time ..). Both ladies were great for this show though. But chemistry wise......Clana was and is Lightyears ahead of Clois. Seasons 1 to partly 8.... easily show everybody why. They even had to come up with an excuse (kryptonite vest ) to force fully breakup Clana....otherwise Lois had no chance....Those INCREDIBLE TENSIONS between Clark and Lana......just amazing!

[@lilacmist04]

​@@explorer96core73 Smallville is kind of its own thing when it comes to Superman lore timelines. It resolves everything to stick with main lore of Superman by the end of the show though. According to lore, should Lois have been there early? No. But should Lana have stayed as long as she did? No. Should Lex be in Smallville and friends with Clark? No. Not to mention all the other Superman lore characters, villains, and heroes Clark meets before he's even Superman, which also breaks lore. Its just how the show works, so Lois coming early works as well because of all the other characters coming early, staying longer, or not even existing in the lore. I agree that both ladies did great with Lois and Lana! They both added so much to the show, had great chemistry with Tom and others, and were great actresses! I would disagree about Clana's chemistry being better than Clois. They both were amazing in their own ways, which I think is evident to why we such strong fan bases for both. But, Clark and Lois were always meant to happen and be end game, and it is something the show signaled at many times since season 4. Even Lana had commented on it. Also, Clark could have used blue kryptonite to be with Lana, and he could take it off when he went to save people. But Clana was always meant to fail as a fully healthy couple. Inexperience of youth and past trauma plays into this some, but also they had false ideals of each other and a lack of trust which come into full play in season 7, and even season 8. Lana's dark path, her lies, the bizarro situation, among some things also highlight why they don't work well together. They show has signaled way back, multiple times, that Clana weren't going to work out due to their issues as a couple. Clois on the other hand show how a couple can bring out the best in each other, be a full support, and thrive. We see this especially in Season 10 when all secrets are out. They also have this magical light and joy with each other, as well as passion, and one can see their complete chemistry and pull to the other. It really is a beautiful relationship that they form, one that isn't held back by individual issues, but instead raises both of them up as individuals and as a couple. Both couples were great in their times, but if you're looking for couple goals, its Lois and Clark for sure!

[@johncraig86]

I never realized Erica Durance has an accent. Great! Love you all.

[@44excalibur]

Erica doesn't say "a-boot' or "sore-ry" quite as much as Kristin or Laura, but her Canadian accent is there. 🤣

[@KalvinEllis]

"What I will say about you is you didn't eat my face" Well there was *that* scene by the door in the Thanksgiving episode. 😆

[@alyce831]

@KalvinEllis I think the eat face reference was more a joke about how bad the Clana kisses looked. There is a specific one that looks like that.

God I still watch smallville no matter it isn't on tv anymore I still watch it on dvd and still to this day erica durance is still gorgeous no matter her age

[@rachelt.2872]

she brought so much more light and life to the show! I was so tired and bored with the clark/lana thing where she just cries and is a victim to everything with clark having to continuously rescue her, and was ready to end it at season 3 until I saw Lois show up and she immediately made it so much more entertaining to watch, even when she was only on screen for like 5 minutes lol

[@explorer96core73]

If you got bored with Clark and Lana you clearly lack the ability to receive a great love story with incredible CHEMISTRY between to star crossed lovers. ( Most of their scènes were absolutely MAGICAL.....you could definitely feel the TENSION....) Off course they had their awkward moments and slowdowns.....but that fantastic CHEMISTRY !!!!! And Lana's character arc only grew during the seasons with enough challenges to overcome 😎 Your attention span is very short lived i recon... But..... Lois was also greatly portrayed for sure.

[@duncanmacdonald8652]

For a shy type girl there was a lot of kissing in this show. They say beauty is only skin deep boy were they ever wrong Erica is beautiful all the way through her personality displays loving and caring always

[@856Edwin]

Erica Durance still looks beautful. I had the honour of meeting her at Comic-con in London and taking a picture with her.

[@wonderberries]

I'm currently binge watching Smallville and was so excited when Lois came to the party. I'm seriously having Lana fatigue. Lois is just a breath of fresh air.

[@shanedrance5443]

Like I said on the other page, Erica was exactly the spark plug that Tom needed so badly. She's a literal goddess and looked amazing alongside Tom- real badass woman. Lois changed his character for the best. That's why Clark and Lois are such a power couple. I didn't even know anything about Superman and Lois and I knew when Lois showed up she was going to be endgame bc Tom's whole energy changed and he finally had the spark in his eyes like he finally met his match. Pretty epic stuff. I can see why Tom remembers so much with Erica. Great podcast!!! this was a lot of fun.

[@Rp.on3]

I'm a boy born in 1988, Smallville has accompanied me throughout my adolescence and I love it! These days I'm finishing the tenth season. Erica is beautiful and always hypnotizes the scene! I love you guys!

[@SarahGardus]

Erica and Tom had amazing chemistry and sex appeal, they both rocked it. Best couple on the show.

[@explorer96core73]

DEFINITELY not the best >> Tom and Erica were absolutely great.....but this particular Smallville show was without a doubt about the PHENOMENAL CHEMISTRY between Tom and Kristin 😎 ( Not an opinion if you really did watch the show entirely...)

[@scoobiedoo2517]

I have been able to see all the Lois Lane actresses throughout my years. Erica is my favorite for sure. She never gets the credit she deserves. She defined Lois Lane for an entire generation, and brought more character to Lois than anyone. Her beauty sure hasn't lessened any.

The best chemistry.

[@joaniemurphy3922]

I remember everyone in my dorm room loved Clark and Lois, when we first watched the ICONIC dunk tank scene we all cried. No wonder Tom said Clark fell for Lois right from the start, even he knows it. The amazing spark was there and it was amazing.

[@sweeney60]

Lois definitely seemed more sexualized as she went on, but honestly Lois to me was always a shameless character. She said and did whatever she felt like and didn’t give a fuck who cared. Lois shamelessly flaunting what she’s got without a care in the world seems totally in character. It’s not really necessary but it’s not distracting. Also Erica really sells the hell out of this character.

[@debrickashaw9387]

She has barely aged in 20 years. Wow

[@miyadeen5867]

I didn’t get into that episode to much in season 5 episode 4 and 6 until I saw Lois in that getup then I was like oh my goodness Erica is hot and adorable I’m a girl but I was like ok I am paying attention now then I was like umm ok I’m not gay but she’s kinda gave me that vibes for some reasons I mean I’m glad we got to know the conversation about that also I thought Clark and Lois interactions was good also enjoyed the most I am gonna be honest i enjoyed Erica and Tom interactions more then Kristin and Tom during these seasons 5-7

[@latifahraleb2137]

for me Lois Lane is the kind of person that you want in your life! she is a badass, funny and gorgeous. i can relate to some of her personality, i speak my mind, funny and a lot of sarcasm like her lol. The first kiss was when Clark pretended to be Green Arrow. and yes Tom! Lois brought something out of his personality that we didn't see with Lana. He was funnier and was always smiling around her. their chemistry was amazing and this is why I got attached to their relationship, I'm team Clois and always be!

[@NIGHTGUYRYAN]

Lois Lane is one of the best female characters in all of comics. she occassionally is portrayed as a damsel in distress, but when she's played correctly she represents the characteristics youve mentioned. shes a great character and im glad the show was able to get that across.

[@explorer96core73]

I agree that their chemistry was indeed amazing eventually and they were also fun to watch.....but Smallville clearly shows a much stronger and more amazing chemistry between Clark and Lana in every way..... Don't get me wrong......both relationships are greatly portrayed and have their ups and downs. But the feelings of passion and cravings by just looking at each other ( for example ) between Clark and Lana....are on a whole other level !!! That HEAT......and PASSION when they kiss......just WOW...... I just love it when i see people who click so well together 😎

Have shows nowadays get their stuff together before they shoot everything. Instead of getting all excited like back in the olden days they just tell you what to do and then you'd act it out and it's a rush situation to get the episodes out.

[@motodog242]

I think it was more closer to the fact she was undercover as a stripper in the episode they’re reviewing. 🙄 Clearly the bikini in Aqua wasn’t a problem, but we just got Lana in a skintight sexy vampire outfit last episode and then this episode it’s Lois in a stripper outfit. 😂 And Clark is shirtless like maybe once or twice in the first 5 seasons. 😂 Season 5 is literally when the show writers went, “alright, high school is over, time to sexualize everyone.” 😂
