10 Plot Holes You Haven't Noticed In The Arrowverse
9. Where's Cat Grant?
Calista Flockhart's Cat Grant was undoubtedly one of the highlights of Supergirl's first season. Unfortunately, the show's move to The CW resulted in the veteran actress moving to a recurring role instead. And as a result, the character had to be written out.
Her return in the second season's final two episodes saw her form a close relationship with President Olivia Marsdin before the third season's premiere revealed that she had become the official Press Secretary for the White House. A great role for the former CEO of CatCo Media no doubt, but it's one that has since cast a shadow over her whereabouts.
You would think that Marsdin's removal from office in Season 4 would have resulted in Cat also stepping down from her position as Press Secretary. Not only would her knowledge of 'fake news' have ensured that she wouldn't have remained on under President Baker's horrible administration, but the show never referenced her at all throughout the entire anti-alien debacle - so it's pretty much certain that she no longer holds that role.
Why hasn't the show referenced Cat (in the present tense) since? She's no longer the CEO of CatCo and she's obviously no longer the Press Secretary, so where is she?
It goes without saying that the show is in desperate need of her return. Great as Lena Luthor, James Olsen and Andrea Rojas are when running CatCo, they are not Cat Grant.
