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."

its april 1st so I'm hoping its a april fools joke.

I got upset, but now I'm calm... since I'm hoping it is a joke, if it is, its a cruel one.

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

:\

I'm hoping that it's not true. I haven't seen anything up at K-site or Dts about it. But I mean check the link for yourself, it seems pretty definite

hahahaaaa! icantbelieveyoufellforthat.com?

well I didn't fall for it! ok I did for like a second, but then I realized that it might have been a april fool joke! oh yeah... I'm cool.

Wow, that's a little...unexpected. Though I can't say I'm entirely displeased. Or surprised. They probably want to make the show align with the film more.

Ack, I just hope they won't kill her off and martyr her and use her to propel the destinies of Lois and Clark and Lex. That's my biggest fear.

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

Um...

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

No, it's good that you did! At least that means it was believable :D

I did the same thing for Michael Rosenbaum last year, and that was just be saying me was in talks to leave, and heaps still fell for it. But this time I thought it would be cooler to have links and an article to back it up :P

Ha ha!

*rolls eyes* That'll teach me not to click the link first. :p

Wow, this is looking serious 0_0

good joke! you probably made a lot of people cry, but still good joke :P

Thank you *g*

Hee, that's why I put the link at the bottom, so that people wouldn't check it first :P

On the one hand, it could be true, stupid as the show runners are.

I tried to make the quote very stupid Al like :P

It doesn't sound like she chose to leave, does it?

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?

Oh you moo!!! I hate April Fools!! Grrr, lol

LMAO! Well, you did an excellent job with it. If it hadn't been April 1st, I might not have been suspicious at all. hehe

I personally think Lois should be leaving

Me too!

As for Chloe... I always thought they'd kill her off but... not now! I'm guessing that's what they have planned, right?

Ya never know ;)

Lol thanks.

It took me several times to figure out the HTML thingy actually. I had to get help for the fake article linking in the end, to get the correct address :P

I totally fooled you for a second there *g*

Hee!

Excellent faux-Al quote!

next time, you should disable comments ;) I read the comments first and was like ah ha!

Damn! I totally fell for that and I was feeling kinda happy for Chloe (who deserves better than staying in Metropolis to watch how her BDA ends up with her annoying cousin) and sad for myself (how terrible a show without Chloe could be?) and then I clicked in the comments.

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!

OMG. You are EVIL.

Aww, you meanie;) I applaud you. (You know, you could have said it was Kristin, and given us a few minutes of joy...

They REALLY should have stuck to the end-after-season-5 plan. The show doesn't deserve to continue.

Any idea if they plan to kill her off?

"April Fools!"

We so would have heard about this by now if this was true. I'm calling it. It's a fake report.
