I ask because I have decided to write some fan fiction in which I decide to apply the fact that Terri Hatcher's mother was half Syrian to my portrayal of Lois Lane. This means I now have to make Ellen Lane half Syrian, and so I am trying to figure out how to do that. So I figured if someone had given her a name I would decide if her mother or father should be Syrian. John Pack Lambert

I guess even if it is mentioned I can just chose to ignore it, since it is not well known enough for people to object to things going another way. John Pack Lambert

It listed several relatives of Lois, including an Aunt Brainard from the 40's, but it didn't indicate how she was related and whether that was her married name. I think you can safely ignore any extended family that Lois picked up over the years, since the only regulars seem to be Lucy, Ellen, and Sam. "It is a remarkable dichotomy.

Morgana A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

In my working copy right now it is Bagdi, but I am not sure I will keep that, the whole scene is a bit too forced. Of course this is really alt-world Uncle Mike, but Lois does not know it yet.

From the "Church of Metropolis" script: Quote LOIS & CLARK The New Adventures of Superman "Church of Metropolis" TEASER FADE IN: 1 EXT. AMERICANA CAFE METROPOLIS SOUTHSIDE DAY #1 1 A charming bistro, empty but for LOIS and CLARK sitting at an outdoor table, amid the remains of an enormous meal. Lois' UNCLE MIKE LANE, a hearty ex Marine, comes out of the restaurant brandishing two massive slabs of cake. That's not to say that you couldn't give Ellen a brother named Mike, too, but the Uncle Mike from the show is a Lane. Kathy
