Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang in a promo image for 'Smallville.'
The Big Picture Have you ever wondered why some of your favorite characters leave before the show is over? It can be frustrating to watch a show, like Smallville, for instance, only for one of the show's longest-running characters to dip out just as things are getting interesting. Well, like a few different Smallville cast members, this was also true of Kristin Kreuk, who played Lana Lang for the first seven seasons of the hit Superman prequel.
Because of other boyfriends such as future 50 Shades of Grey star Eric Johnson, Vampire Diaries icon Ian Somerhalder, and Supernatural legend Jensen Ackles, Lana's love-affair with Clark was an on-again/off-again sort of thing that was continually teased throughout the show, never fully developing. But Lana's other love interests weren't the only reason. There was also the issue of Clark's secret: that he was actually an alien from another world.
Following her time on Smallville, Kreuk starred in Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, appeared in a few episodes of Chuck, and floated around with a few different feature roles until she landed the part of Catherine Chandler in the 2012 reboot of Beauty and the Beast. No, we're not talking about the Disney movie, but rather the four-season television series that Kreuk starred in opposite Jay Ryan for 70 episodes, returning to her home network of the CW.
"I may be in the minority, but I thought Lana’s story ended well," she continued, noting that she believed Lana's journey toward becoming a hero in her own right was exemplified in the eighth season. Frankly, Kreuk is right. Lana didn't need to come back to the series for the final season, and while it might have been interesting for Clark to meet an Earth-2 version of his old flame, it was so much more important that he interacted with the alternate Jonathan Kent .
