Breaking News: Smallville Planning Major Death
Attention Smallville fans: This news might make you feel like you have butterflies made out of Kryptonite in your stomach, so read at your own risk.
Inside sources tell me exclusively that one of the main four castmembers—Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Allison Mack or Kristin Kreuk—will be killed off before the season ends.
Although all of these castmembers are under contract for one more season (they initially signed seven-year deals), producers have decided to have one of their characters meet an untimely end, in a shocking plot twist.
Naming exactly who is going six feet under would ruin the viewer experience (and probably prevent me from cozying up to any CW cuties at future C-Dub events) so I'll simply tell you this regarding the soon-to-be-deceased character's identity: It is someone who is most definitely a fan favorite. And I think you're gonna freak..
So, who will it be?
Here are my thoughts:
It’s definitely not Tom Welling. You can’t have a show about Clark Kent becoming Superman without Clark Kent.
It’s probably not Michael Rosenbaum. He has said that he absolutely won’t do an 8th season, and that next season is his last. Which suggests that he’ll be back next season. Also, a draft of the season finale was leaked (some smart writer left it in a trashcan in an airport) and of the four characters, Lex is the only one not dead or dying by the end of the episode. The leaked script was an early draft, so changes could have been made.
It could very well be Allison Mack. Chloe is not in the comic books (although DC did buy the rights to her and they keep swearing they’re going to incorporate her, but they haven’t done so yet). From the spoiler above “It is someone who is most definitely a fan favorite. And I think you're gonna freak.” Chloe is a fan favorite, and “you’re gonna freak” could be a hint at Chloe’s new meteor freak status. Furthermore Allison Mack has recently started an on-line blog (www.allisonmack.com , it’s very good, but don’t expect much Smallville discussion) and it’s been speculated the reason she did this is to keep in contact with her fans since she might not be on weekly TV anymore. But outgoing show producer Stephen DeKnight said back in March on his blog that everyone really likes Allison and Chloe and there are no plans to get rid of the character. And I think if they were’ going to kill Chloe off they would have developed the maybe/maybe not romantic relationship between her and Clark. That way, when she dies, it’ll be much more tragic for him.
I strongly think it’s going to be Kristin Kruek. She has also said that she would not sign up for an 8th season, that she’s not sure she wants to do a TV series again. She’s expressed a dislike for Lana in interviews. There are rumors that her health is an issue. It may be that she wants off the show and the showrunners are accommodating her. This would explain the sudden switch in the middle of the season. The first part of the season Clark was over Lana. She was over him, she actually was really mad at him. Then, suddenly in Hydro she’s in love with him and he’s in love with her. They’re back to pining for each other. Now she’s learned his secret and once the marriage between her and Lex is exposed as a shame there will be no reason why Clark and Lana can’t be together. They seem to be bringing her character arc to a resolution. If everything’s resolved between her and Clark then why can’t they be together forever? And we know they’re not together forever.
At the end of the leaked finale script, Chloe is dying and Clark is about to be killed, but Lana is already dead. She dies before the end of the episode in a car crash while trying to get away from Lex. She is dead. That’s very strong evidence that her character is the one who “will be killed off before the season ends”
And, apparently on Monday night Entertainment Tonight – Canada had a quiz asking which Smallville actress was leaving the series at the end of the season. Their answer was Kristin Kruek.
Of course it could all be a big fake out. Lana’s death could be faked the way Chloe’s death was faked at the end of season 3/beginning of season 4. Maybe no one’s leaving the series and it’s all a ploy to get us to watch the season finale.
