Kristin Kreuk has confirmed on her Facebook profile that she will be returning to Smallville for a “small, undetermined” number of episodes during the series’ 8th season.

Over the last several years some fans have become increasingly tired of the on-again, off-again Lana/Clark relationship, and the show has struggled to find the right fit for the character of Lana Lang, moving her from cheerleader to college student, to pregnant wife of Lex Luthor, to dead - then to not dead (and hiding in Asia) - to her current role as the founder of a foundation. There is no word currently on the status of the couple - but since Superman is known universally as having Lois Lane be the love of his life, its a safe bet they won’t be ending up together.

It has been a very strange ride for the Smallville incarnation of Lana, and my guess is that it will only get stranger before the series wraps up…assuming it ever does.
