So what role will Slater play? Spoilers after the jump!

jamie: Indeed. I didn't mention her though because she did not "guest star" on the show. She stars on it.

Helen Slater is still ravishing, and she's got a great singing voice as well.

I love that these actors come on the the show - being a big fan of all the superman movies and shows (including the first one), it's very endearing and really brings it all together.
