It really is a shame they dropped Cat from the show after only one season. I thought Tracy Scoggins was great and she brought some much needed humour to the whole show.
shareI agree. I hated how they made so many changes after 1 season to the show.
shareYeah, she was a fun character that livened things up. I liked that Cat found Clark attractive in his mild-mannered guise before Lois saw Clark’s appeal. But, then again, she was a bit of a horn dog.

How crude. “Horn dog.”? Really? That’s the best you can do when discussing a WOMAN?! Cat is a femme fatale. She takes her men to satisfy her ego. Her libido is secondary, albeit not unimportant.
Cat was the best character in this show. She added zest, color and piquancy to it. She blows Lois off the screen in every frame that they share.
it didn't fit in with the rest of the show---what they were trying to convince viewers the Daily Planet was. Everybody else was dressed 'sophisticated' and she came in looking 'not'.
shareI’ll agree with that, pioneergirl. She did not fit. She stood out. She eclipsed Lois in every scene they shared. Regarding Cat’s impact on the credibility of The Daily Planet, I politely disagree with you. I was the Nightlife Columnist for The Boston Herald, and I and The Herald’s Gossip Columnist were the 2 most popular writers on the paper; so my view is biased. It is also informed by real-life experience.
shareBut you probably dressed like your workplace colleagues? yes?
That is what I am getting at. They did not do that. If they had her wearing a business suit like the other women in the Daily planet news room but still doing that same job---then yes it could have worked. They pretended dressing unlike your coworkers works in an environment.
If she were going undercover okay then yes she was supposed to dress to fit in those places---also like the rest of the staff did with their respective assignments. Again, that's not a newsroom. And she's not undercover in the newsroom itself.
Hell no! I wouldn’t be caught dead dressed like a newspaper newsroom schlep. I dress like a player; that’s my image. My counterpart at The Boston Globe dressed like a schlep. A new club opened, and the Globe guy got there a few days before I could schedule a visit. So I showed up on a busy night, after having talked with the club’s PR woman on the phone. I asked the doorman to announce me to her. He came back and told me she’d be right out. A few minutes later, some woman came out to the lobby, looked puzzled, shrugged her shoulders and left. She came out again, 20 minutes later, still looking puzzled. I asked if she were looking for me. She laughed, embarrassed. She said, “I’m so sorry. You don’t look like a newspaper columnist. You look like a guy who actually BELONGS in a nightclub.” I said, “That’s why I’m the best there is at what I do.”
share> Cat was the best character in this show.
I don’t know about that. Cat didn’t leave the show for her own spin-off. As I said, I liked Cat’s character and Ms. Scoggin’s portrayal. But she was a bit of a one-note, ancillary character. Once Lois saw Clark’s charms more clearly, Cat became superfluous as a plot device.
You don’t have to “know about that.” I’m entirely satisfied with my conclusion. 12 years older than Hatcher, Scoggins blew her off the stage in sex appeal and wit. That makes her “best” to me.
