Teri Hatcher to Guest Star on SMALLVILLE

Well, isn’t this a nifty twist?

The CW confirms to Give Me My Remote that DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES’ Teri Hatcher — who played Lois Lane on THE NEW ADVENTURES OF LOIS AND CLARK back in the day — has been cast on SMALLVILLE as the current Lois Lane’s mother, Ella.

And yes, Ella is still dead, but EW — who first reported the casting news — is saying that Lois discovers old video tapes of her mom in episode 8, so that solves the pesky little technicality.

What do you think? Most brilliant casting move ever?
