"Smallville" Star Kristin Kreuk Joins Cast

Exclusive: Smallville heroine Kristin Kreuk joins Chuck
by Michael Ausiello

If 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.

I agree bring back Chuck sooner. The only problem I have is Mondays at 8 is an awful time slot. Unfortunately NBC doesn't have any good time slots available. hno:

Oh and great casting move. I'm looking forward to it.
