What the fuck?!?
Allison Mack to Leave 'Smallville'
'Smallville' starlet moving on
LOS ANGELES -- The fate of The WB's "Smallville" is still unknown with
the new CW network in the works, but one "Smallville" star definitely won't be
back on your television sets next season.
For the past 5 years, Allison Mack played girl reporter Chloe Sullivan on the Alfred Gough and Miles Millar produced drama, but this year will be her last.
Executive producer Al Gough says, "This year has been about growth for Clark Kent, and part of that growth involves loss. This year he lost his father, but he will also lose a friend. Unfortunately, this means saying goodbye to Allison [Mack], who has been absolutely wonderful for our show in these past few years. But we have Lois Lane now, we're moving towards Metropolis, and there is no longer a place for [Chloe] in Clark's destiny or in the story we're trying to tell."
Allison Mack, a former child actress, already has a few new projects in
the pipeline. She will soon be heard as one of the voices in the animated
film "The Ant Bully" and hopes to announce another feature film project this
summer.
"It's strange, 'Smallville' has been part of my life for a very long time and I hate to leave it, but this also affords me the opportunity to really challenge myself as an actress and pursue other roles," says Mack. "I'll miss all the wonderful friends I've made on the 'Smallville' set, of course, but I think this is going to be a very good time for me. I'm excited."

If its true, I hope she doesn't get killed off, so she can come back.

BTW, there's another article confirming her departure here: http://www.comics2film.com/FanFrame.php?f_id=18483

Date: 2006-04-01 12:44 pm (UTC)This better be an April Fools joke, or I am gonna be royally pissed. *frowns* Man, this day sucks! I don't know whether to have a heart attack or not, because the internet is always littered with pranks on this day.
*tries not to panic*
I certainly hope someone can verify this by the time I'm back online. On the one hand, it could be true, stupid as the show runners are. On the other, it would be very odd for them to say she was leaving, because those things are usually kept secret.
Either way, just leave the entry up in case the link mysteriously disappears and we need proof later. lol

Date: 2006-04-01 01:05 pm (UTC)I personally think Lois should be leaving (I don't have hate for her like you ;P) but it doesn't make sense for her to be around so much.... they are playing around with the Superman mythology way too much now! If Lois knows Clark too well now... it just doesn't make sense to me.
As for Chloe... I always thought they'd kill her off but... not now! I'm guessing that's what they have planned, right?

Date: 2006-04-01 01:46 pm (UTC)In my country we don't have April's Fools, so I forget about it all the time. Damn! I'm such a naïve baby.
It was a really good joke.
Kisses!
