Erica Durance & More In Smallville Magazine #10
The Official Smallville Magazine is back and bigger than ever. The latest issue, #10, runs 68 pages and features new interviews with Erica Durance, Jane Seymour, producer Bob Hargrove, and more. In addition to the interviews, you can find features about the fall of Jason Teague, Lois Lane, a nifty news section, Ezra Small prophecies, pull-out posters, a recap of Season 4's "Elements" storyline, Smallville science, and more.

It is the first issue in the magazine's new bi-monthly schedule. Look for the latest issue to start hitting newsstands now; subscription copies and a comic book store release should be very soon.

Issue #10's lead feature is an interview with Erica Durance about her first full year on Smallville. Here are some excerpts of the interview, which was done by departing Smallville Magazine editor Richard Matthews:

Looking back on her first year:
"I feel great. It's been a really cool ride and a crazy year. It was not expected to be 13 episodes -- it was four and then it went to 13 -- so it was kind of all over the place, but I feel good and I am excited to get on with the new year. I've got a little bit of an idea [of what will happen] and I'm excited to get in there and explore more of Lois and see where they're gonna take her. With the last episode that we shot, showing her watchng everything that's happening, you don't really know where she goes or what she does, so for me the excitement is seeing how this moment of tragedy is going to add a new color to her character."

On fan reaction:
"I definitely believe the fans that watch the show often know more about Lois than I do," laughs Durance. "When they say 'I think you're doing a good job,' and you're accepted into that kind of group it is definitely encouraging and it's helpful. But it's a balance, because you can't always gauge everything on that basis, because if, for example, they don't like where your storyline is going [they] can sometimes [get that] confused with how you're playing it, which is a different thing: how it is written and then how the actor plays it to make those words work."

About fan worries:
"They were worried about Lois coming between Clark and Lana, but they seem to have gotten over that. That's why I feel like I started to relax, and people realized that and relaxed too, and I did feel a certain amount of acceptance. It definitely did affect how I went in and I did feel better about it, but thne you've got to block it all out and do your work. The feedback is lovely and I don't dismiss it, but I also believe that what carries you through the day is 'Can you do your work and go home and hopefully not be too neurotic about it?'"

Who is right for Clark - Lois or Lana?
"Both...?" Durance giggles. "Every man likes the woman who makes things difficult for him, challenges him and makes it interesting, but they also like the woman who's soft and loving all the time. They sometimes like both ends of the spectrum. But Lois can be soft, too, and Lana's been tougher this year so I'll just say both... He can have both. I'm not gonna fight! Make the fans happy."
