Wow, I wasn't expecting that turn of events.
I too am torn between Lois having a nice and decent relationship with Chad. He seems like a nice guy. Their relationship seems to be strong as well.
The only way I can Lois and Clark getting together is by killing off Chad. You're not really going to do that are you?

But, then Lois will be heartbroken and will need Clark to comfort her...
Can't wait to see where you take things from here.
