Smallville season 8 - major new cast!
(I’m bumping this post up as CW just released an update today).
This man is the new Doomsday:
Sam Witwer has been cast to play the new villain Doomsday in Smallville season 8. Doomsday will eventually kill Superman, in a battle to death. We can all make a good guess that the Smallville writers will explore how the two become enemies.
UPDATE: Witwer will play Davis Bloome, a charismatic Metropolis paramedic who is forced to confront a darkness inside of him that might be a harbinger of doom. (CW)
Cassidy Freeman will also be joining Smallville this season as Tess, a “sexy and vengeful firecracker with whom Lex hires to run his empire in his absence.”
UPDATE: Freeman will play Tess Mercer, the new acting CEO of LuthorCorp. handpicked by Lex to succeed him before he vanished. She is said to be as cunning and ruthless as her mentor… a female Lex… (CW)
Detailed character descriptions appears at Michael Ausiello’s blog.

Jane,
Nope Doomsday will not kill Clark Kent/Superman on Smallville season 8. Thank God! In fact, Davis Bloome will not be known as Doomsday yet, at least when he first appears. Instead, the episode arc will focus on Doomsday’s origin as a trouble Davis Bloome. Hope this is good news.

Sam, Kristin will still be back next season! We’ll see her still although not as a series regular. She’ll do around 8 episodes. So, Kristin Kreuk may yet save Smallville *wink*

i really think that lana and clark really shoul end up together because the relationship between those two is pure LOVE and all that they’ve done wrong is because they love each other.
I LOVE CLANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

clana is the best thing that could have happened in the show, besides nobody can break the bond between clark and lana. what i’m trying to say is that i support luis with all my might, that clana’s love should triumph
another CLANA lover

If Clark and Lana don’t get together in season 8, I won’t be watching this show anymore. I hope the writers take note of viewers’ comments.

No!!! It can’t be the end! You mean to say that Clana lasted for seven seasons for nothing?! I don’t think anything can break Clark and Lana apart after everything they have been through.
