I guess this is the part where I admit to being a Chlois fan :P
Hee. But can you explain it to me?
I think that we must just have really different views of what makes Lois Lane Lois, because I can't see LL being compatible with Chloe's personality.
Well from I understand, the originally wanted SV to have Clark, Lex, Lois as young characters together, but they weren't allowed the Lois name for some reason. So they admit to writing Chloe as a sort of proto Lois, just without the name. And then there were was an episode where she tried to submit an article under Lois Lane, and the theory grew in popularity. I become a fan of the theory after Thirst in season 5...
Hmm. I watched the Being Lois Lane documentary on the four season discs (which is another reason why I can't buy the idea -- they did a whole documentary on ED's Lois and how she's similar to and yet different from past Lois Lanes) and they talk about how they always wanted Lois and were trying from early on to get permission to put Lois on the show. I think that they were happy to have Chloe there as an investigative force, but didn't get the impression that they had her as Lois (but they may have been back-tracking). Also, given all the strictures that they have had on using Lois Lane, I can't imagine that they would ever get permission to say, "Oh, BTW, our real Lois is the one that's gotten to mack on Clark every year for the past six -- fooled you, Superman-owning people!".
What happens in Thirst? That's an episode I haven't watched yet!
