Exclusive: 'Smallville' heroine Kristin Kreuk joins 'Chuck'

Categories: Chuck, News, Smallville

chuck-kreuk-levi_lIf I didn’t know better I’d say Chuck’s got a thing for Superman.

On the heels of Brandon Routh’s casting as a love interest for Sarah comes word that Smallville vet Kristin Kreuk is joining Chuck for multiple episodes as Hannah, a girl Chuck meets on a flight to Paris. “Chuck and Hannah definitely have feelings for each other,” teases an insider.

Laid off from her glamorous publishing job, Hannah ends up working at the Buy More. (I’m sure that won’t prove distracting to the horny nerd herders at all!)

This marks Kreuk’s first major TV gig since leaving Smallville.

Let me take this opportunity to once again plead with NBC to move up Chuck’s premiere date. Making us wait until March would be cruel, unusual, and punishing. Please. I beg you. I’ll even give that horrible show about nurses another shot.

    PLEASE! I hope someone from NBC reads this and tells the higher ups to give us our Chuck MUCH sooner than March!

    • Jack

      Kristin Rocks!I loved her portrayal as Lana,she was the only one who knows how to act on that overlong show.Glad she left for bigger thing.

      • Tom

        Kristin Kreuk>>>>>>Smallville

    • Fred, a french aushole

      Last time I checked, girl couldn’t act…
      OMG, WTF?

      Kthxbai

      • Dug

        She can act!You just jealous!

      • evilan

        Agree

  • Carrie

    Lana is going on Chuck? My shows are colliding! This is awesome! I can’t wait until March for Chuck to return; waiting that long is just horrible.

    • Lucy

      haha thats the first thing i thought too!

  • Nessa

    OMiChuck!!!! This is amazing!!!! Wow!! Yay!!! :) Please give us Chuck sooner than March!!!! I’ll give a show from NBC a shot too, just give us Chuck sooner!!!

  • Cos

    Cool. I watch both shows. Finally Lana was taken away from Smallville and now it’s another opportunity for me to see KK again. :)

  • Alex

    Hoping this means she won’t be making an appearance on Smallville then. Season 8 was good till she showed up, then it all went downhill.

    • Cindy

      I thought that was the best arc of the season, much better than that Davis/Doomsday junk. Finally got a believable reason why they are apart and he ends up with Lois (not that I dislike Lois, on the contrary, I like SV’s Lois better than I have ever liked the character before). But to each his own.

    • Nic

      I’m with you, Alex.

      It was the worst arc ever.

    • Jack

      ugh!Clois fans are sooooo annoying!Enjoy your crapville show on death slot!
      KK left,she brought lots of her fans with her and the show got lower ratings and move to friday.is that what this hate is all about!Geez be mature!

  • Kermonk

    “love interest for Sarah”

    What? The idiots are ruining the show already.

    Lets hope it gets canceled.

  • Joe

    Wow. Hopefully with all this Chuck news, we see it sooner than March!!

  • Day

    Ah! This is very exciting news! Even though I love Chuck and Sarah together (obviously!), I like the actors who they have brought in. Maybe by continuing to keep Chuck and Sarah apart, NBC execs might be convinced to keep it around for yet another season. This would give fans a chance to watch their relationship blossom naturally instead of rushing them together due to the possibility of a series finale. Here’s to hoping that NBC moves up the premiere date since they are torturing us CHUCK fans!

  • Becca

    I love Chuck, and I’m not entirely happy about another petite brunette coming in to distract Chuck and Sarah (first Bilson, then Brewster, now Kruek, oy!), but I’d prefer that to anything derailing the Clois on Smallville.

    • Dug

      CLOIS SUCKS!CLANA ROCKS!
      people barely watch crapville anymore!

      • Ralph

        Erica Durance is ten times the actress that Kristen is!

  • geekgurl

    Really??

  • Lau

    Chuck asap!!! March is too far away :(

  • AJ

    March is too far away!

  • Chris C

    If NBC moves up the Chuck premiere, I will agree to watch all of their other shows. THAT is beyond taking one for the team.

  • Lulu

    OMG I sooo wanna see Chuck before March!! But why bring Lana on the show??! I want chuck and Sarah to be together!!!:( It was JUST starting to get interesting between them!!

  • Bob

    So what are the chances Hannah turns out to be an evil spy?

    • elena

      One out of four?

      • Nick

        that’s mighty conservative. I’m open to being proven wrong but I’m concerned about Kreuk’s ability especially in comparison to the talented cast of ‘Chuck’

    • Chuck

      I Love me some more Kristin BadAss!She`s HAWT!

  • Vgerland

    This just keeps getting better and better. All you Chuck and Sarah fans remember the longer it takes to get them together the better is is for the show. It keeps the tension going. Great Casting I say all around!

    • chukthis

      Waiting for 13 episodes to get them together is not worth the wait. What has love got to do with it. Apparently on this show absoutely nothing.

      If I stop caring about Chuck and Sarah what else is there to care about. Heck why am I even watching the show.

  • Chris

    Chuck, you’re not being honest with me. You seem to keep so many secrets from me. Why can’t you tell me, Chuck? Why?

    • Nicole

      I think you just summed up her entire arc in a nutshell.

    • Nic

      LMAO! Loved your comment!

      “I want you to look me in the eye and say that you don’t love me”

    • david

      THIS. hahaha.
      if Hannah Lang starts whisper-talking about secreths and lieth my head will explode.

      • Wendi

        “if Hannah Lang starts whisper-talking about secreths and lieth my head will explode.”

        Bwah ha ha ha ha!!!! David, you are a mindreader! :-D

      • Chuck

        I think you morons mistaken a real life person and a fictional character.Anyway,Smallville Sucks Big Time without her!

  • Liz

    I like the news, but I’m not sold on if it is a good thing or not. She wasn’t that great on Smallville.

    • elena

      That’s kind of where I am. KK was all kinds of bad acting on the seasons of Smallville where she and Clark had their will-they-won’t-they thing, but maybe she’s gotten better? Cautious optimism.

      • LauraT

        I agree. She seems like a nice woman who has her head on straight in real life, but beyond her cuteness she was painful to watch. I don’t know how much of that was writing, and how much acting, but Chun Li certainly didn’t help clarify things. Who knows, though … some actors just really need the right director to bloom.

  • ferg

    We want Chuck sooner damn it!

  • Etienne

    Best news of the day! Come on, give us Chuck sooner than later!!

  • MikeNJD

    Great scoop, but that picture makes Kristen look like Michael Jackson!

    • Air

      She looks nothing like him and that’s a very rude comment.

  • Star

    Ugh, please, NO LANA in Chuck!! :/

    SIGH..

    • Tom

      Oh yes!In your face KKhater!
      Go watch crapville!

  • Sarah

    please bring chuck back before march!!!

  • Daniela

    oooh my Goddd think is aweosome ! i love chuck and i hope that third season going to be awesome

  • ns

    Uggh! There’s plenty to work with without the Charah/ no Charah nonsense…I’m really sick of it…to the point where I’m not even sure I’m going to tune in….Thank god for Burn Notice and Warehouse 13….

    • Jamie

      Agree. With Michael and Fi,what you see is what you get,when it comes to their relationship. At this point, on Chuck, I’d rather see the writers give Casey a love interest that stays around for a few shows.

  • melbye

    Since Brandon Routh is also going to be on the show it would be interesting to see a scene with Routh and Kreuk

    • Jamie

      Why? To see which one is the worst actor?

  • Lisa

    This waiting until March SUCKS !
    Chuck should be on sooner than March !!!

  • Jim

    Enough is enough. I agree NS.

  • Are

    I can`t wait for the next season. As the article said, it`s a cruel and unusual punishment to have to wait until march! move the air date!

    • Drishin

      I agree!! NBC please listen!!! Move Chuck perhaps to November or December, by January the latest!!! We need Chuck!!!
