SUPERMAN & LOIS: Emmanuelle Chriqui, Wolé Parks, Inde Navarrette & Four More Not Returning For Season 4

Damn, that bums me out

Personally I think it's best for the show the Cushings outlived there usefulness but I am admittedly disappointed about the Irons, Chrissy and Sam being downgraded.

What's the point then??? Should have just canceled all DC CW shows and have all DC properties be a Max exclusive.

At first I was happy the show was saved but most of the cast only appearing in a few and possibly not any episodes is a huge let down. Plus a cut back on the SFX is starting to make me think why bother.

You can tell the budget was lowered and that they’re definitely trying to stretch it out for the final season. At least the ones whose roles were cut down still have a job. Having a little work is better than no work at all. 🤷‍♂️

I knew this was coming, saving an expensive superhero show that actually requires money to function wasn't gonna come with a heavy price and this is: losing pretty much the entire Smallville cast that makes Smallville feel like an actual smalltown setting. Who the hell are Clark and his family going to interact with now without half of their cast?

No more Smallville Gazzete that Lois helped Chrissy with. What is gonna happen to Jon at the firehouse ever since Kyle took him under his wing? No more Lana and Lois friendship nor with Clark especially now that all the family knows about him being Superman. Yeah we got Lex but it'd be fun to see the Kents trying to protect their friends from him. Stakes have been in this way absolutely lost.

We also lose the Irons after they've been through hell. Sayonora to the friendship between Natalie and Sarah and with the brothers and also her new bond with grandpa Sam Lane. No more father and daughter scenes between Lois and Sam either like the ones we got with them in 3x08 where he cheered her up to keep digging on the Mannheims. No more Superman and D.O.D. dynamic either because grandpa won't be back. No more badass Superman and Steel team ups.

This isn't even counting on the budget cuts for the VFX.

I hope Todd Helbing feels proud of the price it took to renew the show all because he ignored the warnings and chose to go with a cliffhanger in S3 instead of just wrapping things up like everyone was doing just in case. He just essentially got 7 people fired. In the middle of a writers strike where that is nowhere close to ending and where it is difficult to find new acting gigs.

The only people that I can see celebrating these are the irritating and half-delusional Clois fans who hate the guts of Lana's actress and her character out of the delusion that she wanted to be the female lead and shit like the showrunner being in love with her, conspiracy crap stuff.

Good luck Helbing, you're gonna need it. I'd be surprised to not see a decrease in the ratings as well.

This is the same damn thing CBS is doing to one of their sitcoms, literally. Only difference is that they cut down ALL of the cast except the 2 leads.

Disgusting and awful really. I feel bad for everyone, especially for Inde Navarrete (Sarah) and Tayler Buck (Natalie) since they are new actors and it's more difficult for them to find new roles.

That's lame as [frick].

Shame, Parks is great as Irons.

Well here's a BTS picture of Michael Cudlitz' Lex Luthor with his homies-I mean his henchmen, including Gretchen Kelly who in the comics is his physician. It's probably from the next episode 3x12.
