September 17, 2016: How Will Alex Danvers React to Superman on “Supergirl”?

160829-Season2In an interview with “Supergirl” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg, EW.com has discovered how Alex Danvers will feel about Superman/Clark Kent being more involved in Kara’s life in Season 2 of the TV series.

How does Alex feel about Clark coming to town on Supergirl?

Not great. “Alex has been everything to Kara; she’s her family,” EP Andrew Kreisberg says. “Alex has a little bit of a chip on her shoulder about Clark. She loves him and he’s family, but he left Kara on their doorstep. Kara is so excited to see Clark and so excited to be with him, it’s almost a little bit like Alex feels taken for granted, because she’s the family member who’s put in the time. It sets up an interesting conflict between her and Kara in the first couple of episodes.”

Season 2 of “Supergirl” premieres on The CW on October 10 at 8.00pm.

…or maybe she has a secret crush on him.

Given that I’m 65% sure that Alex is gay and is going to have some sort of flirtation/relationship with Maggie Sawyer I don’t think her having a crush on Supes is very probable.

Just an assumption. So I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Still…so stoked for this.

She could do both, actually. That’s not the route shows tend to take, but it’s certainly possible..

Ugh, does everybody have to have a beef with Superman? They already talked about some kind of conflict with J’Onn now Alex to? Please tell me this isn’t going to be one of those things where they feel like they have to make Superman a bit of jerk to compensate for the idea that he’s too “perfect” or something.

Alex will be a little jealous at first because of the cousins close relationship I also think she’ll develop a crush on him. It would be fun to see Kara’s reaction to that too.

That would be pretty interesting! As long as it’s not a “long, drawn-out” thing (at least on the jealousy part), I’m ok with it.

Sounds awesome, I genuinely can’t wait for Alex to be jealous of Clark and to see the interesting conflict unfold over the 1st couple of episodes. I wasn’t sure Supergirl could pull it out of the bag for the second season but it sounds like they’ve completely nailed it.
