Smallville: Lana Not Returning, Lex Probably Is

The second half of Smallville's tenth season will bring the show to an end with Clark donning the iconic red and blue tights and cape to defend Metropolis and his love Lois Lane, and now we have just a few more details on how the US drama might come to a climax. Lana Lang, a past teenage crush for Clark Kent, won't return for the season finale- a wise move, I think, given that Clark is now pursuing his relationship with his future wife and so shouldn't really held back by his past as his destiny beckons. Having said that, a return from past (and ultimate) foe Lex Luthor wouldn't exactly go amiss seeing as he will play such an important part in the rest of Superman's life, and although Michael Rosenbaum has said on Twitter he hasn't spoken to the show's producers for a while on the subject, executive producer Brian Peterson has revealed that the cast and crew are "catiously optimistic" that Rosenbaum will return at the end of Season Ten. There isn't long until American viewers (and with the shockwaves it would cause for the show, the UK) will discover if Lex is coming back for more, but that sounds like the least of the team's worries as even the choice of title for the finale is proving difficult, Peterson stating that "literally, with the amount of stuff we have to lock down for [the finale], the title is the least of our problems!"
