I saw someone say that they (as in producers) considered having Chloe become Lois Lane and that existed as an option before they casted Erica. And whether this is true or not doesn’t really matter because the very idea of that is sooooo interesting. Largely because it makes sense, like a lot of sense. Chloe is a journalist, she’s driven, she’s smart, and her and Clark have history and potential. Also her fake death, or even just her using Lois as a pen name because of what happened with Lionel and the Daily Planet, would have made her changing her name very plausible. Plus adding another female member of the cast whose character was a romantic interest for Clark, and therefore adding someone else to pit against the existing women on the show, always kind of bothered me. Their role in the story was always somewhat limited to whether they had Clark’s attention and the viewers’ attention, whether they were appealing enough or if they could be used and it didn’t always feel faithful to their characters.

Not to mention the whole, “I’m the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend.”

Chloe becoming Lois would have been a shocking and intriguing way to introduce Lois into the story and challenge the viewers’ expectations of the show. With an origin story where we all know the ending, we all know what Clark will become and who he will end up with, it would have been a great way to surprise the audience, to show them that there’s still a possibility for creativity.
