Supergirl EP On Alex's Feelings Towards Superman

It turns out not everyone is clamoring to see Clark become a bigger part of Supergirl's life.

Fans are excited to see Superman play a bigger part in season 2, but even though Kara is on cloud nine to have him back in her life, Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg told EW that her enthusiasm isn't shared by everyone. That includes Chyler Leigh's Alex Danvers, who has functioned as Kara's primary support system all these years.

"Alex has been everything to Kara; she's her family. Alex has a little bit of a chip on her shoulder about Clark. She loves him and he's family, but he left Kara on their doorstep. Kara is so excited to see Clark and so excited to be with him, it's almost a little bit like Alex feels taken for granted, because she's the family member who's put in the time. It sets up an interesting conflict between her and Kara in the first couple of episodes."

Clark is family, sure, but like with any family that doesn't mean they don't drive you nuts half the time, and it will be interesting to see those family dynamics at play in season 2. Even with Clark at the ready, the crew of Supergirl will still have their hands full with the new addition of Dichen Lachman, who will be playing the character of Roulette. Roulette runs a metahuman fight ring, and both Supergirl and Superman are in her sights as future competitors.

Now, in Season Two, Kara (Melissa Benoist) has left the safety of being Cat Grant's (Calista Flockhart) assistant in order to figure out what she really wants to do, while as Supergirl she continues to work at the DEO., protecting the citizens of National City and searching for Jeremiah (Dean Cain) and Cadmus. Along the way, she will team up with Superman (Tyler Hoechlin) to battle new villains, as she strives to balance her personal life with her life as a superhero.

Supergirl returns on October 10th.
