'Smallville': Teri Hatcher to play Lois Lane's mother

This is amazing casting!

AMAZING!! Erica and Teri are the BEST Lois Lanes EVER!

Mother? More like grandmother!

Finally SMALLVILLE. . . .! Smallville has brought almost everyone from the Superman myths and special appearances except for two people. Ther Are Terri Hatcher (Lois Lane - in the 90's superman tv series) & the one and only Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor)from the first 4 Superman Films with Christopher Reeve.
All I can say is yes, it's about time, one down aone to go. come on Gene Hackman full fill your desrtiny.
Smallville is the greatest show on earth. the best there is, the Best that ever will be!

This is indeed amazing! And yes, having Gene Hackman in the show would be a fitting send off for this show on its final season.

I've enjoyed the casting on this show the last several years way more than the show itself. The plots, acting, and dialog have gotten worse as time goes on, but their guest-casting has been a geek's dream.

I think I'll stick it out for the final season, (especially since Lionel (and possibly Lex?) is coming back) but this is one show I'll be happy to say goodbye to.

@Ethan - you're a moron!!!

It surprises me that viewers and critics alike seem to take Tom Welling completely for granted, for he has created the most engaging portrayal of the ultimate outside, the awkward, vulnerable, earnest and empathetic observer of the human coming of age that has ever been allowed to unfold on the screen. Smallville would not have lasted past its first season if Tom Welling had not nailed the subtle, sensitive, genuinely engagin persona that is Clark. We've been fortunate to be able to watch this happen. Maybe he's been too good for the TV audience to appreciate. Thank you Tom Welling. You have enriched my enjoynment and given me a tine long run of pleasure. I wish you all good things in your future. NES
