November 24, 2015: "Supergirl" Interview - Jenna Dewan-Tatum on General Lane and Lois Lane

James and Lucy In another interview with Jenna Dewan-Tatum about her role as Lucy Lane on "Supergirl", TVGuide.com asks her about her relationship with Jimmy Olsen, her father General Sam Lane, and living in the shadow of her sister Lois. Here's part of the interview...

    General Lane (Glenn Morshower) is coming. Can you say anything about his arrival or what he might be doing?

    Dewan-Tatum: Yeah, my father, that episode is really fun. It is intense. He has a take-charge, take-no-prisoners type of attitude. He is very intimidating. He maybe doesn't have the fondest feelings for Jimmy, and there's a lot to live up to with that being your father. There's sort of a feeling of, "I'm such a daddy's girl growing up and I really want to make him proud all the time," so there's a moral dilemma that [Lucy] gets into as far as seeing the true colors of her father, working for him and yet also wanting to please him and be in love with somebody that maybe he doesn't approve of. There are a lot of layers and emotions that pop up.

    Speaking of family, does Lucy feel a little bit like she's lived in the shadow of her sister Lois?

    Dewan-Tatum: Yeah, definitely. [Lois has] always been the one that got the attention, she was known for being smart and she was the one that everyone sort of talked about and it was, "Lois this, Lois that." Lucy has lived in that shadow...so, there's a frustration that comes with that. I think a lot of people that have siblings can relate with that. I actually don't have any sisters so it was fun to develop that. I was really intrigued. I would go, "What would that be like to have a bigger sister that is definitely the shining star and you've lived in that shadow? How does that feel for you? But also you're a shining star in your own way and coming into your own power without being Lois' sister?" So you want to create your own identity and definitely in an episode to come there's a bit of frustration with that.
