Bloodline

November 8, 2008: Vandervoort Speaks, Ratings Rise, Graysons Dies

TVGuide.com has posted an interview with Laura Vandervoort about her return to "Smallville" as Kara (aka Supergirl) in Season 8.

    TVGuide.com: Were you glad to get the call to make this return appearance?

    Vandervoort: Yeah! When they told me last season they had kind of run out of storylines for me and they needed to focus on Clark, I was upset because in my mind I was planning to be back for another season. And there was also the [once-rumored Supergirl] spin-off thing. I took it personally and said to the producers, "Look, is there something I could have done better?" They said, "We want you all the time on the show." But they've got to focus on Clark and Lois, and having another superhero around who could fly, while Clark can't, wouldn't work out.

    TVGuide.com: Yeah, it's a bit emasculating for ol' Clark.

    Vandervoort: Tom, when I left, said, "You're going to move on to good things," and [the producers] did mention I might come back for one or two [episodes]. I've been back for one, and I think that's probably it.

The CW reports that Kara's return in last night's "Bloodline" episode hit season highs last night in adults 18-34 (1.9/6), adults 18-49 (1.9/5) and total viewers (4.5mil). IN FACT, it was the highest rated and most watched episode of the show in nearly a year (since 11/15/07).

And in other related news, E! Online reports that The CW has nixed plans to go into production on The Graysons, an hour-long drama that was set to revolve around the young Robin's life prior to meeting up with the Caped Crusader.
