At the Smallville 200th Episode Red Carpet on Saturday night, KryptonSite and several other media outlets spoke with members of the show's cast and crew for exclusive interviews.

Expect many more interviews to come here on KryptonSite between now and the airing of the show's 200th episode on Friday, October 15.
Please do not repost this interview on other websites; instead just link directly to it. Thanks! "Shield" airs Friday night, October 1 on The CW. Questions to Keri Lynn Pratt are in bold; answers are not.
What can you tell us about Cat Grant as she enters the show?
She's Clark's new partner at the Daily Planet. She's just so excited to have the job. She's so enthusiastic and wants to do everything she can to get her beliefs across. She's not looking to either side of her, so she ends up in trouble quite often.
She's quite a fan of Godfrey, isn't she?
Yes. She is. She's a huge fan of Godfrey. She listens to the radiocasts on her desk.
Are you contracted for a certain number of episodes?
I'm kind of off and on for the season. So I don't know, specifically.
How is Cat going to get along with Lois?
They tolerate each other. Maybe. [laughs]
Is there any chance of a romantic entanglement between Cat and any of the characters on the show?
That I don't know.
When you got the role, did you look at any of the comic books?
I did! And I was like "oh my God. I don't look like that." [Laughs] Cat Grant in the comics is voluptuous.
Had you seen any of Tracy Scoggins on Lois & Clark?
I didn't. I kind of went into this a little blindly.
 Was it intimidating at all to join a show in Season 10?
No. I didn't really have time to think about it, because I literally got the job on a Monday afternoon, and flew to Vancouver on Tuesday morning, and was in hair and makeup tests, and then shooting... I got thrown into it. Everyone is so warm and so welcoming. They're just amazing. It's been great.
