SMALLVILLE'S ERICA DURANCE AT THE TCA

Erica Durance, who plays Lois Lane on The CW's Smallville, represented the show at the network's presentation at the Winter Television Critics Association (TCA) gathering on Friday in Pasadena, Calif.

Durance was part of The Kick-Ass Women of The CW panel, joining Nina Dobrev and Candice Accola of The Vampire Diaries, Maggie Q and Lyndsy Fonseca of Nikita and Aly Michalka of Hellcats.

Durance was guarded about details as the 10th and final season of Smallville heads into its home stretch.
