Allison Mack may not return for Season 8 of ‘Smallville’ either

It looks like Allison Mack is trying her hand at negotiating a higher paycheck for the 8th season of Smallville. The actress is reportedly contemplating not returning for the next season of the “young Superman” show - and she may be using the loss of “Lana” and “Lex” as leverage.
I have some bad news for her, though. The Superman mythos has survived for a very long time with the trinity of Clark, Lois, and Jimmy - and if that happens next season it just might be the shot in the arm that the show needs to really be good again. The loss of Lex Luthor is, of course, a huge blow to the series, but the departure of Lana Lang is seen by many as a good thing. I am definitely one of those people. If this show wants to continue on, it is going to need a complete overhaul to make it work, and the switch to the classic Lois, Jimmy, and Clark trio is a great way to do just that.
This bid by Allison Mack might actually turn out to be a good thing, and breathe new life into the series. The more I think about it - the more I hope she doesn’t come back.
So there.

Miss Mack is a fantastic actress, but I agree. This show has been stuck without direction and frankly needs a kick in the ass. The loss of Lana is wonderful. The loss of Lex is dreadful. I watch SV for Lex as much as for Clark and Lois. With Chloe, you have a character who doesn’t serve much purpose. Much of what she does keeps others from being the ones to do it. Chloe gets every aspect Kara should. Chloe took from Martha’s interaction with Clark before. If she wasn’t on the show then Clark would have to make his own conclusions and investigate for himself. Chloe lost her magic seasons ago. I just want SV to be good again. Clark, Lois, Jimmy(make him more like S6 please) and Kara(with some real charter input after no more Chloe and Lana) would make for something great.

Smallville is suffering sagging ratings, Michael Rosenbaum will not be returning in season 8, and now TV guide is reporting that Allison Mack, who portrays Chloe Sullivan, maybe leaving over contract negotiations. Chloe Sullivan is Clark Kent’s long time confidant, popular know it all can do anything heroin, and one of only a handful of characters who knows Clarks super secret identity.
Smallville may need to hold on to Allison, but only because the writers or producers seem stuck in the past. For years now Smallville has retreated again and again to storylines about meteor freaks (humans mutated by Kryptonite) and the tired moral message that keeping secrets is bad (sometimes secrets save us).

But she’s the best looking one in my opinion.
And the show is getting a little odd… to say the least. I guess we will see what happens. I am just hoping that Allison Mack gets all high on Kryptonite or something and wears some revealing clothing.
Go Chloe! 
If it ends up not having her in it… C’est la vie. I think the series will suffer more without Lex than Chloe.

I think chloe is a major part of the show and i wouldnt watch it anymore if she werent there. lois and clark dont do anything for me. chloe has had feelings for clark her entire life and its not fair to her if he dates her cousin whom he didnt even get along with in the beginning. chloe is awesome and she is the prettiest girl on the show in my opinion.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it would not be smallville without chloe it would be like all the comic books. i think its time for something different in the comics and i think chloe is exactly what they need. its as simple as that.
