That’s one of the challenges of Smallville. I don’t think they thought it would be on this long. They kind of planned on four years, the high-school years,” said Glover. “As long as Lionel stays interesting . . . ”
He also lamented the loss of Annette O’Toole, who has played Martha Kent on the show since it’s beginnings. “I’m going to miss Martha! There’s nothing to be done… unless I write her a love letter. I don’t know if they’ll deal with it on the show but [her] contract’s up and I don’t think she’s coming back,” he said. Glover said he would especially miss the playful flirting going on between their characters. He didn’t comment on the rumors of yet another new cast member joining the show, in addition to Clark’s cousin Kara aka Supergirl. Some sources are reporting that Lois (Kristin Kreuk) will have a new love interest this season in Greg, a hunky new editor-in-chief for The Daily Planet.
