November 23, 2015: Jenna Dewan-Tatum on Playing Lucy Lane on "Supergirl"

James and Lucy In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Jenna Dewan-Tatum talks about playing Lucy Lane on "Supergirl", her thoughts on the episode being bumped last week, and her feelings on the love triangle between her character and James and Kara/Supergirl. Here's part of the interview...

    This episode focuses a lot on whether or not James and Lucy will rekindle their relationship. That's the big question of the episode, but since we've seen the episode that comes after it, we already know that they get back together. Do you think that will change how viewers respond to the episode and your character's introduction, knowing the outcome in advance?

    You know, it really might. That's the honest truth. You can't really help it. But I respect what CBS chose to do and what the producers chose to do, pulling the episode. It was the right thing to do. And I'm happy the episode is going to be seen in the end. I received a lot of messages from people who want to learn more about Lucy and how she ended up in this place with James in this episode. They were confused. So this episode will clear up a lot of deep questions people have about James and Lucy. This episode will give you much more to chew on.

    It's always a risk coming onto a show as a romantic foil for a relationship that fans are rooting for. Were you nervous or intimidated at all coming onto Supergirl as James' ex right when he and Kara were starting to develop some real chemistry?

    As most TV shows go, it continues to develop as you become a part of it. So I knew that they had intentions for this character. One of the things that the showrunners wanted to do was to make her a warm, fun character. Just a really smart and strong woman. I wasn't interested in coming on as playing this old, intentional foil to James and Kara. That's not so fun to play. This is different because we're creating this relationship and friendship between Lucy and Kara. And you'll see that Lucy is human. She's not perfect but she holds her own. So this isn't just a love triangle storyline. It blossoms into some awesome and exciting story points to come. I'm not just some ice queen coming on to shake things up for Kara.
