December 10, 2015: Chyler Leigh Talks About Alex Danvers on "Supergirl"

Chyler Leigh DC Comics has published another interview with another cast member of "Supergirl", this time sitting down to chat with Chyler Leigh, who spoke about her role as Alex Danvers, the relationship shift with Hank Henshaw, and being her sister's protector. Here's part of the interview...

    Alex has a very not-normal life. Her sister's a super hero. She's surrounded by aliens. Will she ever have a normal life? Does she date? Can she have a normal life?

    Does any woman have a normal life? [laughs] I don't know that she would ever have a normal life, but that does beg the question, all kidding aside, what is normal? Especially anymore. The fact that she was handed Kara at such a young age, it was really, "This is your job, this is your responsibility. She's yours to watch over, she's yours to protect." End of story.

    So there's nothing normal about any of it. Because Alex loves her sister so much and there is so much to what she does, it's any super hero's story. You have to be at the ready. Anything could happen at any moment. And with so many threats to her, now that Supergirl's out in the open. It's Alex's job, whether begrudgingly or not. Her job is to watch over her sister and to love her sister, protect her sister.

    The only thing that you even see even remotely hinted at is whatever that whole dynamic is between Alex and Maxwell Lord. Honestly, there's not a whole heck of a lot that we've been told, other than it could create drama with Supergirl wanting to protect Alex now. I think we're just coming upon all that stuff now where it's coming to a head.
