Michael Rosenbaum will not be returning as a series regular for Season 8. Negotiations are continuing to try and bring Allison Mack back next year. Kristin Kreuk will be back for at least part of Season Eight.

Tom Welling, Aaron Ashmore, Laura Vandervoort, and Erica Durance are all still said to be signed and expected to return for the show's eighth year. John Glover was also still on contract, though we saw from "Descent" that there was a change in plans.

Two new characters have been announced for Season 8:

Doomsday: In season eight, Clark will face his ultimate challenge with the appearance of the legendary, unstoppable destroyer Doomsday, who appears on “Smallville” for the first time. As comic book fans know, Doomsday is notorious for being the only character in the DC Comics universe to have killed Superman.

Female villain: Doomsday won’t be Clark’s only nemesis in the upcoming season. The executive producers are tight-lipped about a new female villain they will be introducing, but they can say she will be familiar to many fans and will set her sights on Clark in ways Lex never could. Intelligent, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously sinister, our gorgeous new villain has one more weapon in her arsenal: Her mutual attraction with Clark may prove to be as deadly as kryptonite for him.

Il futuro di Smallville si fa sempre più nefasto, al punto che iniziamo a domandarci se sia il caso di andare avanti. Dopo l'addio di Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) e quello di Kristine Kreuk (Lana), la quale parteciperà all'ottava stagione solo in veste di guest star, una nuova doccia gelata è caduta sulle teste dei produttori quando anche Allison Mack (Chloe) ha fatto intendere che potrebbe abbandonare lo show, lasciando di fatto Clark da solo con Lois. Pare che l'attrice - tenuto conto dei recenti addii e consapevole del fatto che il suo personaggio avrà maggiore importanza nei prossimi episodi - abbia fatto pressioni alla Warner Bros. affinché le sia offerto un contratto più vantaggioso. Le trattative, però, non sembrano procedere così felicemente, tanto da alimentare il sospetto di un ulteriore e importante abbandono nel già provato cast.

The series is curently casting for series regulars Davis Bloome and Tess. The latter will first appear in a scene with Clark. The lady is tresspassing on the Kent Farm. As Clark and she chit chat, she reveals that she is in Smallville to look over the Luthor Mansion since Lex has disappeared. Tess tries to blackmail Jimmy so she gets some answers about Lex. As for 20-year-old and sexy Bloome, he'll be introduced in a scene with Lois at the Ace of Clubs bar where he bartends. Bloome admits to Lois that he's been living all his life with the feeling that something was lurking inside of him that he can't control. Source: SpoilerFix.com

Returning for its eighth season, this new interpretation of the enduring Superman mythology and its classic characters blends realism and adventure into an exciting action series. Last season, Clark Kent and Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) became the sworn enemies that comic book aficionados have always known and loved. The season also brought storylines of Krypton and the El family, including the arrival of Clark's cousin Kara, a.k.a. Supergirl (Laura Vandervoort), and the return of Brainiac (James Marsters). There were also exciting guest stars from the Superman mythology, including Dean Cain ("Lois & Clark") and Helen Slater ("Supergirl"). Clark discovered more about his home planet, who his parents were, what his future holds and why he was sent to Earth. The series stars Tom Welling as Clark Kent, Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang, Erica Durance as Lois Lane and Aaron Ashmore as Jimmy Olsen. Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, SMALLVILLE was developed for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar ("Shanghai Noon," "Spiderman 2"), based on the DC Comics characters. The executive producers are Kelly Souders & Brian Peterson, Todd Slavkin & Darren Swimmer, James Marshall, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions and Warner Bros. Television. Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster.

Allison Mack non seguirà le orme di Michael Rosenbaum e Kristin Kreuk e parteciperà regolarmente alla nuova stagione di Smallville! La notizia è stata confermata dall’informatissimo Michael Ausiello di TV Guide, che parla di un accordo tra la produzione e l’attrice dopo intense settimane di trattative.

Ovviamente non sono stati resi noti i dettagli del nuovo contratto ma l’importante è che Allison partecipi a tutti gli episodi della stagione 8. Ricordiamo che l’attrice era convinta che senza Michael e la partecipazione col contagocce di Kristin il suo personaggio fosse davvero indispensabile per i nuovi episodi della serie e per questo aveva richiesto maggiori profitti.

Details On Smallville's Two New Season 8 Characters!
Casting breakdowns have gone out for the two new characters of Smallville Season 8.

Here's what they are looking for. Could "Davis Bloome" be an alter ego for "Doomsday" and "Tess" be short for "Tessmacher?" Watch and see...

DAVIS BLOOME: 26, Charming and handsome. Davis is the new bartender at
the hip Metropolis lounge. Ace of Clubs, where he plays down his smoldering good looks with a self-effacing wit and down-to-earth soulfulness. Despite the ease with which Davis relates to his new
friends, he carries with him the long-felt feelings of a perpetual outsider. Beneath Davis' charismatic, easy going demeanor lies a brooding sense of isolation and insecurity.. When he begins to delve into the haunting mysteries of his true origins, a darker truth begins to emerge, one of blood and serial murders, one of survival and utter destruction--one in which he is forced to confront the true evil inside of him...SERIES REGULAR.


Want to know how they'll fit in? Read details of these characters' "test scenes!"

TESS: 28, Drop Dead Gorgeous. Determined. Sexy. Vengeful. And with
amped physical strength. While Lex is away, she is in control of his estate and rules it with aggression. She's had intellect and the confidence all her life, though it's obvious she's had some training from Lex, as well. But as much as Lex has helped fortify her power, he is also her biggest weakness. She harbors an undying devotion to Lex,
claiming he saved her life a few years ago. She carries out his wishes with coercion, force, seduction and anything to get what she wants, and no one can resist her beguiling ways. Even Clark Kent. She doesn't remember anything before the day she met Lex. Once she realizes her previous life is buried below the surface, she's desperate to dig it
up...SERIES REGULAR.

Multiple sources confirm that after weeks of tense negotiations, Allison Mack has sealed a deal to return next season as a series regular! Although the specifics of the new contract -- which was signed just hours ago -- are being kept under wraps, I'm told it calls for Mack to appear in all episodes produced next season. Source: The Ausiello Report

As luck would have it, the official casting breakdowns went out last week, and here are the highlights: Doomsday: Real name: Davis Bloome. He's in his mid-20s. He works as a bartender at the hip new Metropolis lounge Ace of Clubs.He plays down his smoldering good looks with a self-effacing wit and down-to-earth soulfulness. But he has long felt like an outsider (hence his nickname). And beneath his charismatic, easy-going demeanor lies a brooding sense of isolation and insecurity. When he begins to delve into the haunting mysteries of his true origins, a darker truth begins to emerge, one of blood and serial murders, one of survival and utter destruction - one in which he is forced to confront the true evil inside of him." Tess: Drop-dead gorgeous.Roughly 28 years old.She's determined, sexy, vengeful and has super-strength. "While Lex is away, she is in control of his estate and rules it with aggression. She's had intellect and the confidence all her life, though it's obvious she's had some training from Lex as well. But as much as Lex has helped fortify her power, he is also her biggest weakness.

Michael Rosenbaum se n’è andato, Kristin Kreuk ci sarà per pochi episodi, Allison Mack invece ci sarà per tutta la stagione…e Laura Vandervoort (aka Kara)? “L’altro giorno, durante gli upfronts, hanno annunciato il cast di Smallville per la prossima stagione, ha detto l’attrice a TV Guide, e io… non c’ero! Eravamo tutti sorpresi quando hanno scelto di non riportarmi indietro come regular, ma sono sicura che tornerò per uno o due episodi”.
“La serie è incentrata su Clark Kent, ha continuato la Vandervoort, e sono onorata di far parte del progetto: il mio personaggio è apparso più di quanto sperassi, è stata intorno per tutta la stagione!” In effetti, i produttori avevano anche pensato che, se Tom Welling avesse appeso il mantello al chiodo, ‘Kara’ avrebbe potuto avere una sua serie/spinoff.

Some Season 8 Snippets


It is likely that Lex will simply be "missing" as the new season begins. In his place the new character "Tess" will be looking over his assets. Producers hope to get Michael Rosenbaum back for guest shots; whether or not they will be successful at getting him remains to be seen.
- If Laura Vandervoort does not return as a series regular, it is likely that Kara will remain in the Phantom Zone until she can be rescued.
- Phil Morris may be returning as the Martian Manhunter in Season 8, and James Marsters has expressed interest in more appearances as Brainiac.

General Spoilers:
Rocked by the mysterious death of Lionel Luthor and the sudden disappearance of his son, Lex, the town of Smallville will be put further on edge this fall with the arrival of two new villains, as Sam Witwer ("Battlestar Galactica") and Cassidy Freeman ("Finishing the Game: The Search for a New Bruce Lee") join the cast of "Smallville" as series regulars for the hit show's eighth season. Witwer will play Davis Bloome, a charismatic Metropolis paramedic who - when he isn't saving people - is forced to confront a burgeoning darkness inside of him that just might be a harbinger of doom. Freeman will play Tess Mercer. Handpicked by Lex Luthor to succeed him before he vanished, Tess arrives in Smallville as acting CEO of LuthorCorp. Beneath her mysterious allure lies a cunning ruthlessness to match her mentor's. Source: The CW

TV Guide has answered several of the questions about who might be saving Clark, and some new tidbits:
- Clark's rescuers will be none other than the Justice League. Expect to see not only Justin Hartley as the Green Arrow; Alan Ritchson will be returning as Aquaman, Alaina Huffman is back as the Black Canary, and Phil Morris makes his return as John Jones, the Martian Manhunter.
- The magazine also reveals what Clark's surprise is for Lois: He's taking the job at the Daily Planet, right acros from her desk. "This season's theme is 'double identities'," executive producer Kelly Souders told TV Guide. "It's about the Superman identity emerging as Clark Kent tries to maintain a normal life — or the appearance of a normal life."
- "The cameraderie as they work side-by-side that everyone loves from the DC Comics and all the Superman lore is going to come to fruition this year," Souders continues. "The two of them are thrown together in some unfortunate situations for Clark. She becomes a little bit of an obstacle to him saving the world, when he's on a deadline."

Executive producer Darren Swimmer reveals: [...] We're very interested in bringing Kara back for some episodes this season, schedules permitting. [...] As fans of the comics know, Oliver Queen had some rough times in his earlier life. This season we'll get a glimpse of how some of those experiences are coming back to haunt him. [...] We do plan on having Clark and Oliver team up more this year than we've seen in past seasons. [...] What helps is that neither [Lex nor Lana] is actually dead in the universe of the show, even if they don't appear every week. The effect that both of these characters has had on Clark is indelible. Luckily, both actors are so incredibly talented, they created personalities that will continue to resonate in the lives of the other characters. [...] Part of what excited the four of us to bring Doomsday into the show was the fact that he has no previously established Earthly alter ego in the comics. Davis Bloome will be very different from the Doomsday we've seen in the comics. Especially at first. We thought it would be interesting to see the human side of a character that had very little humanity in the comics. [...] Doomsday did kill Superman in the comics, so Clark better be on his toes. [... Tess Mercer will] be interested in Clark, but for entirely different reasons than Lex was. Source: Newsarama

Episode 8.09 - Legion
The Legion of Super-Heroes is coming to Smallville, and the writer who's guiding the futuristic team in comic books will be the one introducing them to the show.

Geoff Johns, writer of next month's Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds mini-series for DC Comics, will also be writing the Legion's introduction to the Smallville television show. As announced Sunday at San Diego Comic-Con, Johns will be writing "Legion," the ninth episode in this year's season 8 of Smallville.

"I've known the Smallville writing team – Todd [Slavkin], Darren [Swimmer], Brian [Wayne Peterson] and Kelly [Souders] – for a long time," Johns told Newsarama. "I had an idea for an episode, so we all had lunch. And I pitched them the idea of bringing the Legion of Super-Heroes to Smallville. And we're off and running."

In comics, the Legion of Super-Heroes is a group of super-powered teenagers from 1,000 years in the future who are inspired by the legend of Superman. The Legion story, which saw the young heroes time-traveling back to visit a young Clark Kent, recently inspired a Warner Bros. animated TV series.

Smallville fans had already seen updated versions of several DC Comics heroes on the live-action show, including Green Arrow, who's become a regular character. Just last month, it was announced that a new "Doomsday" character, played by Battlestar Galactica alum Sam Witwer, will be added to the Smallville cast this season as a nemesis for actor Tom Welling's Clark Kent.

While the show's very human-looking Doomsday is apparently a re-interpretation of the monstrous comics character who once killed Superman, according to Johns, the Legion that appears in his Smallville episode will be the team that comic book readers recognize.

"I can't get into any specifics about the story we're telling because we’re still working on it all. But they're from the 31st Century. And it will be focusing on some obvious characters who first met Clark," Johns said. "It will be written to fit with Smallville, and I think it's going to be a really fun challenge to approach the Legion in a different way. But with me, you know you're going to see Legion rings, and they're going to be as true to the core as possible. It's going to be the Legion of Super-Heroes."

Johns, who just recently used Legion characters in a story he wrote for the Superman-centered series Action Comics with artist Gary Frank, couldn't confirm if the Legion characters he's introducing in Smallville would appear in more than one episode.

As Smallville fans may remember, this won't be the first time the name "Geoff Johns" is attached to the show. In Season 4, a super-powered, villainous football-playing character was named Geoff Johns. And as most comic book fans know, Johns shares offices with former Smallville writer and comic book creator Jeph Loeb, who was involved with the series during Seasons 2-4.

"Like I said, I've known the Smallville team for a long time. And I have to thank Jeph Loeb for introducing me to those people in the first place," Johns said. "I'm really looking forward to working on the show. It's exciting to see the Legion be part of that."

Spoiler riassuntivi dell'ottava stagione, li ho tradotti qualche giorno fa:

<fieldset><legend>Source: Spoilerati</legend>- Chloe ritornerà al Daily Planet, ma non per lavorarci. Lei concentrerà le sue energie sulla fondazione Isis. Lei cercherà di aiutare le persone infette dai meteoriti per fare del bene con i loro poteri. Aiuterà Plastique, uno dei personaggi della Dc, e molte altre persone avranno bisogno del suo aiuto. Si terrà occupata principalmente con Jimmy, Davis e la fondazione Isis.
- Chloe sarà molto arrabiata con Lex
- Le interazioni tra Clark e Lois non saranno le stesse viste nella serie “Lois & Clark”. Si cercherà di mantenere le stesse icone del passato, questo non cambierà, ci sarà solo un'altra evoluzione nei personaggi.
- E’ possiblie che Lois partecipi a più di 13 episodi. Lois sarà all’inizio della stagione e nella parte centrale.
- I produttori hanno idea di chiamare Michael Rosenbaum, ma non possiamo dare conferme.
- L’identità segreta di Clark sarà la principale frecciatina di questa stagione. Clark troverà molta difficoltà nell’usare i suoi poteri a Metropolis, a differenza di come faceva a Smallville.
- Martian Manhunter apparirà negli ultimi 3 episodi questa stagione. La Justice League avrà un grande ruolo in questa stagione.

- I nuovi sceneggiatori vogliono rinvigorire la serie da tutti i punti di vista – I personaggi, le relazioni e le dinamiche
- Clark comincerà a capire di aver bisogno di una doppia identità, e imparerà a bilanciarla. Clark sarà lo stesso Clark Kent, ma un po’ più vicino a Superman.
- Tess vorrà conoscere Clark e vorrà sapere perchè lui si è allontanato da Lex. Lei cercherà di trovare disperatamente Lex e farli ritornare amici.
- Sam Writer (interpreterà Doomsday) ha rivelato che il suo personaggio sarà molto diverso a quello descritto nel fumetto

- Tess sarà una formidabile opponente per tutti i membri del cast ad un certo punto.
- Quando Lana ritornerà lei sembrerà molto diversa da come l’abbiamo vista in tutto questo tempo. Non è più una ragazza, ma una donna, cresciuta con degli strani punti di vista
- Questa stagione sarà un punto molto importante dove Clark non potrà sottrarsi dal salvare le persone in difficoltà. Sarà una svolta chiave nella mitologia di Clark Kent. Ci sarà questa macchia rossa e blu che salverà delle persone che diranno “Cosa è stato?”. Questo sarà l’inizio della sua doppia identità. Il blu e il rosso saranno i suoi colori per queste imprese di strada. Jimmy Olsen ha una fotocamera e Lois è molto curiosa. Se loro lavoreranno uno accanto all’altro, questi mondi saranno destinati a collidere.
- Clark deciderà di non poter rimanere più nella fattoria, ma di usare i suo poteri per salvare delle persone.
- Riguardo la possibilità che l’ottava sia l’ultima stagione della serie, i produttori hanno affermato: “Noi vorremmo che Tom ritorni, a questo punto lui è uno dei punti centrali della serie, senza di lui non avrebbe senso. Chiamare il telefilm Smallville senza di lui non avrebbe senso.” Riguardo il possibile spin-off su Kara: “Sarebbe un' idea grandiosa, noi abbiamo diverse idee e ne abbiamo parlato, ma Smallville piace se ci metti la faccia di Tom sul poster, io credo sarebbe sleale”.</fieldset>

Oliver Queen/Green Arrow will also get the spotlight in an upcoming episode where he is poisoned, and that also gives Clark and Chloe some reason to spend quality time together: "That's an episode that we will find out a lot about Oliver and his past, and Clark and Chloe will work together to save him," [says exec producer Darren Swimmer.] Source: Kristin on E!Online

Episode 8.04: Instinct
Airdate: October 9, 2008
Lest you fear our boy Clark may be living a monastic existence this season, know that Maxima is on her way. As [exec producer Darren] Swimmer explained it: "Maxima is the intergalactic goddess who needs to mate, and humans just don't fill the bill. The way that we portray her, one of her powers is skill at making herself irresistible to the men who come upon her-and Clark will not be immune to that. There's going to be one episode, but we're hoping to do more than one. Charlotte Sullivan is the actress we cast, and she did a really great job, she's really interesting." Source: Kristin on E!Online

Episode 8.07: Identity
Airdate: October 30, 2008
If you were so inclined, you could probably blame Jimmy Olsen for the cape, tights and giant S thing. According to [exec producer Darren] Swimmer, "There's an episode where Jimmy will think he sees something and starts connecting it to Clark, and Clark has to dig himself out of it. That starts Clark thinking that maybe it would be wise to have a secret identity. He starts embracing the idea that there's someone out there saving people. He's not denying that completely anymore, he's just not ready to tell anyone it's him. And that makes this year very exciting for us." No telling yet if there's actually going to be a costume, but the Superman brand is definitely in development... Source: Kristin on E!Online

Episode 8.10: Legion
Airdate: November 2008
[Exec producer Darren] Swimmer confirmed an appearance by the Legion of Superheroes (not to be confused with the Justice League, although Swimmer also said they would love to have a storyline for Justice Leaguer Wonder Woman on the show). Regarding the Legion: "It's three superheroes, Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy and Lightning Lad-although we might not use those names-on a mission from Superman in the future, who sends them back to help make things right." Source: Kristin on E!Online

General Spoilers:
This is the season of Clark's Superization. According to [exec producer Darren] Swimmer, "He's going to be seeking out the trouble, as opposed to reacting to trouble when it happens. One of his main motivations for going to the Daily Planet was to be somewhere where the information comes in." Consider D.P. to be his own personal police band radio. "He's going to be much more on patrol than he was ever in his life-and he's really stepping up in a big way to his destiny." And since his destiny and the Daily Planet are over in the big city, "The feel of the show is going to be a lot more Metropolis this year." Don't worry, though, Clark still lives in Smallville as of season eight, and there will be plenty of scenes back in the old home town. [...] According to Swimmer, "Erica Durance and Tom have such a great chemistry on camera together as Lois and Clark. I just love seeing the dailies. They're going to be butting heads a lot, as usual. They'll be teaming up on stories and getting into the typical hijinks together." However, even though Clark reportedly offers Lois her old room at Kent farm, Swimmer tells me they will not be living together-for now. Kristin Kreuk will be back, for five episodes total, right in the middle of the season, at what Swimmer calls "a fairly inopportune time." Like at a moment when Lois and Clark just happen to be making out in a closet? "It won't be that drastic, but you're not that far off." Still, when it comes to the legendary drama that is "Clana," Swimmer said, "Clark is getting past it. He's not mulling over it too much, he's learned his lessons, and it's time for him to move forward, but of course, when Lana shows up in person, that makes things a lot more complicated for him." [...] No Michael Rosenbaum at all this season. I know that's truly awful, but to make it up to you, they are introducing Samuel Witwer as Davis Bloome/Doomsday. Said Swimmer, "Sam is fantastic, he's doing a really great job playing a guy who's sort of the tortured supervillian." (Swimmer also told me there's ongoing discussion about introducing Darksied as well, so hang in there for developments on that.) The other antagonist this season is Tess, a Luthercorp apparatchik. Or should I say apparat-chick ? Because as Swimmer explains, late in the season Tess becomes a new contestant in the Clark love derby: "Tess is definitely interested in him-and who wouldn't be?" [...] As for Clark's allies, Supergirl will be back for either episode eight or nine. I asked why she wasn't back full time and Swimmer told me, "Her appearance was great, but the story that we told with her seemed to come to a natural ending point for the time being."

Episode 8x10
Chances are good that this will be the Jimmy and Chloe wedding episode, and it has been said that the event will be a "bloody mess."
- Comments from "Legion" writer Geoff Johns also imply episode #10 will be a big event: "I can tell you with confidence, the season they have planned is easily the most ambitious to date," he said in a forum posting. "There are so many twists and turns. And episode 10. Episode 10 is INSANE. My episode is now 11, so it's going to be a hard act to follow, but I'll give it my all. I have to say too, that if they pull off where they're taking Doomsday...I mean, I didn't understand where they were going when they announced that Doomsday had a human alter ego. But it's freaking cool. As hell. And fans of the comics are going to be blown away when everything is actually revealed. It's really pretty spectacular."

Episode 8x11 "Legion"
Writer Geoff Johns has revealed that "Legion" has been pushed back to episode #11, and he has this to say about "Legion" on a comic book forum: "They are absolutely, 100% on point with the Legionnaires and their relationship with Clark Kent. I can say you'll see an appearance by one of the Legion's better known enemies, but I can't reveal who just yet. More information to come when I can talk about it."

<fieldset><legend>Souce: TvGuide</legend>Sto lavorando a più dei 13 episodi previsti, ma non mi hanno detto ancora quanti altri ne farò.

Riguardo il bacio che si vedrà nell’episodio numero 5, chiamato “Committed”, non posso dirvi niente perchè non è ancora successo niente. Non c’è nessun bacio, mi dispiace dirlo. Nell’ultima sceneggiatura che abbiamo avuto non c’era questa scena. Ma ci sono delle cose in quella sceneggiatura che saranno davvero belle tra i due. Lei dovrà ammettere i suoi sentimenti per Clark, e dovrà rivelarglielo in faccia.

Clicca su "Leggi tutto" per leggere l'intera intervista.

Lei investigherà su qualcuno, pensando che lei è l’unica che può risolvere il problema, e nel frattempo cercherà di salvare se stessa.

In questa stagione Lois avrà molto materiale su cui lavorare e una eccellente intelligenza, voi potrete finalmente vederla prendere la sua via nel mondo del lavoro.

Al “Daily Planet” Lois e Clark saranno sia partner di lavoro sia dei rivali. Sarà bello vedere questa relazione.

Clark mi offrirà la vecchia stanza che avevo nella fattoria Kent. Accadranno molte cose nelle scene in cui finalmente lei capirà di essere innamorata di Clark. Lei non vorrà rivelarglielo, ma lei realizzerà di avere dei sentimenti per lui, solo che non vuole rivelarglielo. Ma questo accade sono nell’episodio 5, quindi non posso dirvi cosa ci sarà in futuro.</fieldset>

Intervista a Erica Durance:

TVGuide.com: Prima di tutto: in quanti episodi ti vedremo in questa serie?
Erica Durance: Tutto quello che so è che saranno più dei miei 13, ma non mi è stato ancora detto quanti effettivamente saranno.

TVGuide.com: Ma è "crudele", non sanno che hai delle bollette da pagare, delle scarpe da comprare?
Erica Durance: Già, è proprio crudele, vero?

Erica DuranceTVGuide.com: Adesso che Lois e Clark sono arrivati a lavorare al Daily Planet, non ti senti, più che mai, tutti gli occhi puntati addosso?
Erica Durance: Diventerei matta se cominciassi a pensare seriamente a questa cosa. Potrei davvero impazzire! Ma stiamo sviluppando più velocemente la trama quindi ho molto più da fare in ogni episodio. Sono più coinvolta, Lois sta cercando se stessa per diventare poi quella giornalista che tutti amano. Adesso condivide molte cose con Clark e ci sono molti momenti divertenti. Quando, per esempio, comincia ad indagare su qualcosa convinta di essere l'unica a poter risolvere il mistero, e intanto Clark è costretto a correre per salvarla dai guai. E' molto divertente.

TVGuide.com: Lois ha ricevuto molte delusioni per fare carriere nel lavoro e non solo...
Erica Durance: Già, lo so. Ma in questa serie le verrà dato più spazio e una grande intelligenza. Vedrete che alla fine riuscirà a trovare la sua strada.

TVGuide.com: Ovviamente si tratta di una grande svolta per la serie. Tu e Tom Welling vi siete seduti per parlare con calma di come affrontare la cosa?
Erica Durance: Lo si fa normalmente quando lavoriamo, prima delle riprese ci si incontra con gli altri membri del cast e con i produttori e si viene a sapere quello che succederà nella serie. Gli anni precedenti io sono sempre stata solo di contorno, ma poco alla volta sono cresciuta. Quest' anno quando è diventato chiaro dove si sarebbe andati a finire ci sono state alcune discussioni. Ma ci siamo impegnati seriamente, per essere certi di fare tutto nella maniera migliore, per rendere i personaggi piacevoli. La mia preoccupazione principale è quella di fare in modo che Lois risulti intelligente, divertente e simpatica in modo che al pubblico potrà piacere il fatto che a Clark lei piaccia....

TVGuide.com: "Non ne è degna! Non ne è degna!"
Erica Durance: Già. Quindi stiamo facendo degli sforzi in più quest'ultimo anno, stando attenti anche alle minime sfumature, per cercare di essere fedeli alla storia di Superman.

TVGuide.com: Al Daily Planet vedremo Lois e Clark più come patner o come rivali?
Erica Durance: Un po' entrambe le cose. Questa è la caratteristica più divertente del loro rapporto, ci sono dei momenti in cui si fronteggiano faccia a faccia ma quando è necessario, quando la posta in gioco diventa alta, lavorano insieme d'amore e d'accordo. Quei momenti in cui uno di loro dice: "Lo sai che hai fatto un buon lavoro." E quest'anno gli autori creano molti momenti in cui viene veramente da chiedersi "Oh mio dio, allora si amano? Lei ne è veramente innamorata?" Ci sono un sacco di situazioni di questo tipo.

TVGuide.com: Ho sentito di un bacio che ci sarà nell'episodio 5 Committed. Come descriveresti l'intensità di quel momento?
Erica Durance: Oh, bè... a dir la verità non succede niente!

TVGuide.com: No!!
Erica Durance: Non c'è nessun bacio, mi dispiace dirvelo. [Intanto in un colloquio, un pubblicista della CW conferma che il bacio nella parte finale di Committed c'è veramente]. Ma leggendo il copione ci sono alcune cose veramente belle. Dovranno affrontare molte difficoltà e Lois sarà costretta ad ammettere i sentimenti che prova per Clark, proprio davanti a lui. [Sospira] So che non è quello che speravate di ascoltare, ma posso dirvi che quando ci sarà un bacio sarà sicuramente appassionato [ride].

TVGuide.com: Ok... Cosa ci dici riguardo al fatto che Clark propone a Lois di trasferirsi nella fattoria dei Kent?
Erica Durance: Sì, sì. Lui lei chiede di restare lì ma lei evita decisamente la questione. Ma avverranno davvero tante cose che vi faranno rendere conto del fatto che lei è innamorata di lui. Non vuole che lui lo sappia, ma finalmente si rende conto di quello che veramente prova per lui anche se non sa ancora cosa mai potrà succedere tra loro. Ci devono lavorare sopra. Ma siamo solo al quinto episodio non so cosa avverrà nel loro futuro.

Episode #8-11: "Legion"
In an interview posted on IGN.com, writer Geoff Johns has revealed that we will see Legion flight rings and also makes a reference to the "villain's weapon." No confirmation yet on who that Legion villain will be, but maybe Johns or The CW will eventually be persuaded to spill the beans.
- Johns has revealed that Kristin Kreuk has a "powerful" and "heartfelt" scene and that Allison Mack has some "pretty intense things" to do in the episode.
- Regarding casting: "I love who they have playing the Legion. They look great. I'll talk more about them when they're announced," he says. "But they freaking rock. Legion rings, the villain's weapon -- holy s**t, wait until you see HIM-- "Grife!", they are the Legion."
- Johns seems happy with how the episode is turning out: "I'm actually surprised by how faithful the Legionnaires will be to the comics. It's really faithful to the comic book series. Who they are as people, what they do, it's all in there. Obviously it's going to be a little different because they're just coming back for the first time to meet Clark. They're uniforms are the Smallville versions, not spandex. But I'm really happy with how faithful it is. And writing the first live action of the Legion is an honor."

Episode #8-13: "Power"
Some Luthorcorp experiments are being done involving Lana. Apparently these experiments are what is keeping her alive.
- Dr. Grohl (the scientist from "Arrow" and "Fallout" who was recently seen again in "Instinct") is involved with these experiments, which may also have ties to Project: Ares from previous seasons.
