Dean Cain recently appeared on the Inside of You podcast, where he opened up about his experience on the ’90s superhero series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The show aired from 1993 to 1997 and made both Cain and his co-star, Teri Hatcher, household names.
While Lois & Clark was successful and loved by fans, there were always questions surrounding how well the two stars got along behind the scenes. During the interview, Cain decided to address those talks and reflect on the working relationship they shared during the height of the show’s success.
Dean Cain says that Teri Hatcher carried ‘Lois & Clark’
Cain said their working relationship was not always the same. Some days on set were smooth, with everything flowing easily. Other days were harder, especially when production slowed down over small details. Cain described himself as someone who just wanted to get the job done and go home, but felt Hatcher had different priorities.
Cain said she was the heart of the show and made things work on screen. He still believes she was the best version of Lois Lane ever played on television. Despite past disagreements, Cain confirmed they are still on good terms today.
Teri Hatcher did not get along with the cast and crew of ‘Desperate Housewives’
Years after Lois & Clark, Hatcher joined the cast of Desperate Housewives, which aired from 2004 to 2012. The show was another major hit, but talk of behind-the-scenes problems came up again. Hatcher was often linked to tensions with her co-stars Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross, and Eva Longoria. At a magazine photo shoot in 2005, two actresses allegedly refused to take a central position next to Hatcher.
When the show ended, a thank-you card was given to the crew, but reports claimed Hatcher’s signature was missing from the group message. During an interview years later, Longoria listed only Huffman and Cross as close friends from the cast, adding more fuel to the rumors. Longoria has since downplayed the stories, calling them an old media narrative, though she admitted the tension had once been real.
