"How does Hannah impact Chuck’s Buy More life? Without putting to fine a point on it, she causes Morgan to be increasingly suspicious of Chuck’s obvious non-productivity. As Josh said, “Even Casey’s moving a Beastmaster now and then.”
# Morgan’s heartbreak at the end of 3.07, seeing Chuck and Hannah in the home theater room, isn’t directed at Chuck. Morgan is disappointed that he didn’t get the girl, again. Neither of them knew the other was interested in Hannah."

From Zap2it.com:

"Read Hitched (8.5/10) this morning and really enjoyed the characters, humor, and setting. It felt like what happens after those wedding movies and the Eugene Levy is absolutely genius casting in the groom's dads room. I kept on picturing Monica's parents from Friends as the brides. Great stuff here I believe."

About.com wrote an article about all the actors who have moved on from Smallville and where they are now. This is what they had to say about Kristin:

quote:

---

"Kristin Kreuk, for example, who made left turn into Street Fighter and is currently wowing audiences as the new love interest, Hannah, on NBC's Chuck, is heading into a whole new uncharted territiry: the sitcom. Kreuk has joined CBS' pilot Hitched, starring with the goony Jack Carpenter (I Love You, Beth Cooper) as a newlywed couple who have to deal with their family and friends. Eugene Levy was just cast as the groom's dad, a "a tracksuit-wearing four-times-divorced lothario." (I'm suddenly flashing back to Larry on Three's Company.) The move from Chuck to Hitched is no coincidence: both shows are co-created by Josh Schwartz. "

Josh Schwartz mentions Kristin in interview with Popmatters.com:

quote:

"At this stage in each show’s development, I remain a huge fan of Chuck. Season Three has been every bit as enjoyable as the first two and with Chuck becoming a full-fledged spy new twists have developed. The surreally cute Kristin Kreuk has given the show a recent boost as a love interest for Chuck while Brandon Routh has become a person of interest for Sarah. "

The half-hour sitcom revolves around — yep, you guessed it — a newly-married couple who return from their honeymoon only to discover that their relationship has only just begun.

"Smallville alum Kristin Kreuk is currently in late negotiations to guest star on Fringe, a source close to the production has told CinemaSpy. The episode, entitled "Northwest Passage", begins shooting next week, and takes place in the, not surprisingly, Pacific Northwest. CinemaSpy has been informed that the deal to sign Kreuk hadn't been locked as of two days ago, but that it's likely. A decision is expected this week.

If Kreuk is cast, no word yet on what part she will play, though we've been told there are at least two roles available in the story, including that of a law enforcement officer."

From Entertainment Weekly:

"There’s no new Chuck tonight, because of NBC’s Olympics coverage, but that doesn’t mean we can’t talk about the current Chuck controversy. Some of you are pretty steamed about the way the most recent episode, Feb. 8’s “Chuck Versus the Mask,” pushed Chuck into the arms of Hannah (guest star Kristin Kreuk), and Sarah into the arms of Daniel Shaw (guest star Brandon Routh).

I have to admit I watched last week’s episode not really considering the idea that the series was making some major romantic chess moves in having its key couple become attracted to other, new characters."
