VISITORS AMONG US: Will you be returning to Smallville?
LAURA VANDERVOORT: I couldn't tell you.I did one this season. They called and asked me for what they thought would be the season finale, but now they're coming back for another year. I have an inkling that I'll be back for an episode next year. I don't think they can keep me hanging for too long.
VISITORS AMONG US: Overall, was it exciting to be part of the this mythos?
LAURA VANDERVOORT: Definitely. There was no live action television version of Supergirl. Helen Slater was great in the feature film version. Smallville's definitely got me in some doors and just having that legendary name behind you, it's really neat. One day I can say to my kids, "I was Supergirl." Not only that, Smallville is a great show with a great fan following. They really welcomed me. It was a great experience. I really wish that I was still doing it, but it didn't work out storyline wise. They had to focus more on Clark and Lois for the continuation of the legend.
VISITORS AMONG US: I was actually hoping that when Smallville ended, there would be a spin-off with you as Supergirl sort of taking over from Clark Kent.
LAURA VANDERVOORT: They had that in mind when I got the role. I was supposed to be a guest star for a few, then it turned into the whole season and there was talk of a spin-off. But it kind of fizzled out. They kind of went a different route with the network's shows, going more with the Gossip Girls type of show than the sci-fi.
VISITORS AMONG US: Was Kara a good character?
LAURA VANDERVOORT: She's a great character. I know there's a comic book history behind who she is and how she's supposed to be, but I think I kind of made her my own. They had written her as this rebellious teenager who didn't care about people, but I think we slowly developed her into a likable, almost human being who had thoughts of her own. Plus I had fun doing the wire work, the flying, the cast is great, the crew is great.
VISITORS AMONG US: A lot of people complain about the wire work, but I would imagine seeing the end results would be amazing.
LAURA VANDERVOORT: Not only is it cool because the special effects are awesome on the show, but I literally love the wire work. We would have rehearsals and I would be taught how to fly. I loved it up there; I really enjoyed it. Sometimes more than the scenes, because with the scenes I would really try to do a good job and it was stressful with the dialogue. Then I would suddenly get to go up on wires and play. I had a few bruises, but I didn't mind.
