Comment By TV Guide DailyTidings.com By TV Guide Posted Dec. 4, 2015 at 3:58 PM Updated Dec 4, 2015 at 7:44 PM By TV Guide Posted Dec. 4, 2015 at 3:58 PM Updated Dec 4, 2015 at 7:44 PM » Social News Italia Ricci has given up Chasing Life but will now pick up chasing Supergirl . Warner Bros. announced on Friday that Ricci will be joining the show in Episode 14 for a multiple-episode arc. Ricci will play Siobhan Smythe, aka the Silver Banshee. Siobhan is Cat Grant's ( Calista Flockhart ) newest hire and a menace to Kara ( Melissa Benoist ) at work (the girl just can't catch a break!). She's an even worse nemesis for Supergirl when she becomes Silver Banshee. "We are so excited to be working with Italia. We've been a fan of her work for years and we cannot wait to see her take on this iconic comic book role," says executive producer Andrew Kreisberg in a statement. 2015 Fall Popularity Contest: And the winner is... In the DC comic books, Silver Banshee originated as a foe for Superman and eventually takes over the body of Supergirl's best friend. However, in a new comic thread - The New 52 -- Shiobhan Smythe is actually a friend of Kara's before she transforms into the Silver Banshee. In the comics, Smythe is gifted with the abilities of super strength, and agility along with her hypersonic wails and sonic screams that can kill anyone in a certain range. Ricci herself is no stranger to the DC universe. Her fianc� Robbie Amell played Firestorm on The Flash in Season 1, and her brother-in-law-to-be Stephen is of course Oliver Queen on Arrow . That makes her the third Amell family member to join the superhero world, but it remains to be seen if Ricci will turn out to be friend or enemy to fight for good. Supergirl airs Mondays at 8/7c on CBS (Full disclosure: TVGuide.com is owned by CBS) Other Links From TVGuide.com Supergirl Italia Ricci By TV Guide DailyTidings.com By TV Guide Posted Dec. 4, 2015 at 3:58 PM Updated Dec 4, 2015 at 7:44 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
