Smallville: Kristin Kreuk Still in Contract Talks

Kristin KreukRemember back in May when Lana's car exploded in the season finale of Smallville? Come on, guys. We miss us some Smallville, but it wasn't that long ago. We totally remember. At first we thought, Ah, TPTB could never kill off one of the show's most iconic characters. However, it looks like that could very well be the case after all.

There is still no confirmation that Kristin Kreuk will be returning to Smallville for Season 7. However, in the world of television such negotiations could change direction swiftly and at any moment. Lana fans, cross your fingers.

We know Lana is a divisive character, but be honest—will you miss her? Smallville without Ms. Lang Luthor Lang would just be strange, don't you think?

I have been a devoted fan since season 1 and i don't hate Lana but she is definately annoying by now! And even if they have a history, Lois is exactly what Clark needs! She isn't a damsel in distress and she doesn't baby clark! i could see the two of them fighting side by side not putting Clark in a predicament!

i never want lana to leave, i dont want her off the show, and she shouldnt be hated. i hate lois so badly, i hate her. people think shes oh so much better than lana and its not true, people only think that because shes blonde and hot and whatever, but to me shes a total bitch. if clark loved lana since like he was 7, i dont get why that would be trhown away

Yeah sure I like Lana I don't get why she's hated so much...oh yea I know because she's in the way of Lois of Clark *rolleyes* I love Lois and Clark myself but I would hate for them to hook up in smallville it's not suppose to happen now it's suppose to happen later when superman comes I would hate for them to fall in love now I still can't get into Lois I feel she doesn't belong in smallvile...as for Lana for now she is Clark's love just like in the furture Clark will belong to Lois as of now in Smallville the love story is between these two we all know they won't last and yes sometimes their relationship gets a little yawn....so I don't blame Lana at all for all the hate she gets I blame the writers. Lana could've been such a cool charcter but I understand if the actress wants to leave she gets hated on so much just for playing someone

I definitely want Lana to stay. She is so amazing. She has the potential, you know. I mean she is one of the greatest characters, her personality is AWESOME! Whereas I think Lois and Clark suck so much I swear the day that happens I will stop watching Smallville. Its pathetic- I mean seven year Clark is in blindly nad madly in love with Lana and now Lana is going to leave Smallville? NO WAY! You and Clark are like meant for each other. I am always going to think that. Always.
PLEASE KRISTIN STAY TILL SMALLVILLE IS OVER! Smallville will never be the same without you. NEVER EVER!

Lana will be missed!

Me hear that Frenchman I think that lana lang game its role very well and I find that clark Kent game also. It go very well together (to series).

Are they keeping lana for season 8? does anybody know?

Hi all,

People have there opinions on this topic and that is fine. But when you start to bash a character as a whole. You need to realize this is just a show:) "Will I miss Lana off Smallville?" Absolutely! Clark and Lana have grown on me from the past few years. To me there chemistry is amazing. Watching every other show, two people that have been intimate don't look, act, and kiss like Kristin and Tom.... I know this is suppose to be about Superman but the show is called Smallville. What ever happens in the events of Smallville makes Clark who he is in Superman. I too like Cloe, Lois, Lex, and etc... but I have seen Krisin Kreuk and her other projects such as Partition and Snow White. She definately has potential... As for people bashing the Lana character, get ready for her new role and attitude change for the upcoming season. Anyways, by people giving this much attention whether it's good or bad. That is what the producers want because the ratings go up no matter what. For example Britney Spears:)

lois lane is only the real love of clark kent only because lana lang was out of the picture, busy being dead. lana has to die in effect for clark to fall in love with the second running in.

I wouldn't mind if Lana Lang stayed on the show as long as the dysfunctional never ending romance between her and Clark will end for good and he will finally start moving towards adulthood and his destiny and his relationship with Lois Laine. I don't even know why that romance lasted for as long as 6 seasons when everyone knows that Lana will never be the real love in Clark's love.

I actually don't think the producers killed Lana off. althought Lois is ultimately the main woman in clark that superman's life, Lana is a big part of young clarks life. I think the whole car bombing was her idea and she staged it to safely get out of Smallville. I think she did it to protect herself and clark. I think she'll be back. Lana just dying in a car bomb like that has hoax written all over it

Check out my theory about Lana at KryptonSite.com. Here's the link = POSSIBLE SPOILER!

I'm pretty sure Lana's presence in Smallville account's for a pretty big percentage of the show's current audience. I dont think they would make a huge risk of losing many viewers by taking her off the show at this point in the storyline (especially since so many of the viewers, including me, would like to see how things go now that she finally found out CK's secret). Besides, the way she was killed was too abrupt and left that "hanging" kind of feel. If they were to really write her off the show, I think it would be in a much more creative and "satisfying" way than this...

Sick of clana lovers,
I think that you are one of the most rudest people I have ever talked to.Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and for you to get defensive over merely a statement of my thoughts just shows the typed of class you have.I know Smallville is about Clark's journey to becoming superman, but on his journey to that, he creates relationships with people, and by Lana getting kicked off the show will be the end of Smallville.You think people will watch the show beyond the 7th season.You got to be crazy pal.Since I am a lady I won't say no more then I already have even though some mean words come to mind.So I leave it at that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tracey, you are truly an idiot. Have you read any of the other posts here? If so, it should be clear that not everyone likes (or loves) Clana or thier chemistry. And your idiocy further blooms with your statement:

"Smallville is not only known about Clark having superpowers" So deluded...this is a show ABOUT Clark Kent and his journey to becoming Superman. Sure, Lana is a big part of that, but so is Lex; moreso imo. Try to look beyond your KK blinders a moment would ya? And stop speaking for everyone.

Smallville is not only known about Clark having superpowers, but everyone loves Smallville for the chemistry of Clark and Lana. They belong together and after 6 six seasons of the produers teasing us on there on and off again relationship. If they are going to have her kicked off the show in that way of not being able to say goodye I am truly sad that I ever watched this show.

Kristin Kreuk played Lana Lang for six years, is the leading lady, and a constant ground for Clark Kent. And face it; her "death" was pathetic. If the writers find the character to be destructive to the overall integrity to the show, pull a Pete Ross on her; she leaves as she is unable to deal with Clark's secret.

Recall the episode where Clark Kent turns back time to save Lana, and by consequence his father Jonathon died. Raise your hand if you think that killing off the woman Clark trades his father's life for in an anonymous car bombing detracts from the shows credibility.

Following that argument which I hope to be logical and neutral, I may now insert my bias. I've loved the character of Lana Lang just as much as all the other characters of the show. The people who dislike her because of her apparent excess of dialogue and her integral part in Clark's life should perhaps just fast forward to mindless special effects and not pay attention to any sort of plot or character interaction, because it seems you take offense at Lana Lang having depth of character.

True, the character has had ups and downs, one most often cited as in the episode 'Thirst'. Another reason cited was that Kristin Kreuk is just eye-candy... you're telling me Lois Lane, and Chloe, AREN'T? All the characters have this at one point or another. Smallville has its high points and low points; Lana Lang is NOT a low point.

If the people running this thing have to take her out of the equation... at least do it properly.

...LANA FOREVER! :D

I agree that this is most likely a contract negotiation tactic. Where else are any of these people going to work again now that they're so solidly cemented in audiences' heads as these characters? B-rate comedies or horror flicks and beauty product commercials? They need to stockpile cash now. I have no doubt she'll be back in season 7, and I will use my power as a viewer (aka the remote control) to fast forward through her whining about her dead parents or her bad choices or her dead parents' bad choices. That's right, Lana, unlike your men and your viewing audience, your parents got to DIE to escape your voice!

I think they've messed with the Superman myth more than enough already and the older the characters get, the closer they need to sway it towards the movie/comic canon, and if she's alive in those, she can hardly die now, more's the pity.

I think it's interesting how so many people have a deep and abiding passion for both the character and the actress that seems to be based on nothing more than the fact that the former is Clark's first love and the latter is petite & attractive. The characterisation of Lana makes most of the grown women I know shudder as they feel she belongs in a Mills & Boon (clinging first to the football blondie, then the hero, now the billionaire. Way to grow a spine & an independant personality little girl.) As for the actress... She's not significantly less wooden than when she began Smallville which is a truly astounding achievement. Even TW emoted a dozen times in Season 6 (after 5 painful seasons of recycled Blue Steel)and he's much prettier than she is and therefore needs to rely less on talent.

Lana is relegated to the back burner in Clark's adult life, as the most superficial awareness of the Comic/Movie 'verse should tell you, so does it not make sense that, as you Evil-up Lex to become the villain, Lana has to fall further and further by the wayside?

With all due respect to CW, as an avid fan to Smallville, (having the complete series DVD collection) you just can't simply ommit Lana Lang from Smallville. It would be very unfair having Chloe who's just inserted character while Lana Lang is truly included in the Superman legacy. No offense to all chloe's fans but I like Lana around. You just can't ignore the great chemistry of Tom and Kristin, this is the only reason why i'm watching the series. You must admit, it will never die. For instance you been planning alot before how to broke these two, but you will end up patching them together again. No matter what you do, Lana and Clark will always end up having each other. Lois Lane might be the future, but the future has been shown to us. The whole reason of having Smallville is to let the fans see the enduring life of Clark Kent before he became SUPERMAN.... The show may not survive this long w/o Lana Lang...Believe me.

I can't see how anyone who's been watching Smallville from the beginning would want to see Lana gone. She is a major part of the show & definately should return. I understand why some of you want her gone so Clark can move on with his life or other possible relationships, but the producers should be able to come up with another way to do that besides killing her off. Didn't she just find out about Clark's powers not too long ago, I wanna see how she handles that for sure. PLEASE DON'T TAKE HER OFF.

NO!NO!NO!NO!NO! Dont take Lana Lang off the show! Kristin does a gr8 job at portraying her character... She's the strong female character with gr8 karate stunts! So it would b a bad thing... NO! the WORST thing to take her off the show! I would seriously reconsider watching Smallville even though im a fan!

I hope the writers of smallville plan on getting rid of Lana. She is eye candy and that's all. Anyway she needs to go away to make room for Clark's future love interest. Lois Lane. The woman he is suppose to be involved with in the superman comics and movies. To my understanding anyways, smallville is telling the story of a young clark and finally will end as him becomming the man of steel in the flying red cape. So sorry all you Lana fans out there. She has got to go!! :)

Smallville without Lana is nothing! Whether you hate her or like her, she's the leading lady of the show.
Kristin has incredible chemistry with Tom and that would be a waste to see her leave.
Also, this "death" was not really believable. Even Clark's grief was not that dramatic. I think that when u kill ur leading lady (when u decide to do so), u need to offer her a decent death!
What's hilarious is that people want to stick to the Superman mythology BUT they wanna keep Chloe (who's never been in the mythology) and kill Lana (who's in it and IS Clark's confident)!

Bottom line: Lana disappearing for good will really make me consider quit watching Smallville eventhough I love the other actors...

I love Lana, she is my favorite female on Smallville. She is also a very gifted actress, and brings so much to the show. I was hoping that she faked her death somehow and that she would be back sometime during season 7. Clark and Lana forever!!!

They need to bring back the tv shows that they where showing not these knew tv shows i got hook on hidden palms and charmed they need to bring it back one tree hill better come back and gilmore girls too and smallville all come back on the cw they should bring back the wb at less they tell you when the tv shows are going to start and they will let you know on tv or on the computer they should come back and start when school starts .??

Nós fãs da série Smallville, queremos a personagem da Lana Lang na 7° temporada de Smallville.

Eu sou brasileira, acompanho a série Smallville desde a primeira temporada. Eu sou fã da talentosa atriz kristin kreuK. E ficaria super feliz em vêr o personagem da querida Lana Lang na sétima temporada da série Smallville.
Espero que a CW nos de este presente de poder temos a Lana Lang em Smallville. Nós fãs merecemos isso, eu particulamente assisto todos episodios da série, por causa da minha personagem favorita que é a Lana Lang.

Look I like Lana but I want to see all of the members of Justice League and I want
to see Bazzarro get his butt kicked by Clark. Bring in Batman bring back green Arrow, Cyborg,Aquaman and Flash. Bring in Wonder Woman who should be Cloe and Steel played by somebody other than Shaq and Green Lantern and we deffinetly have the Justice League on Smallville.

A seson seven without lana will be a disaster, i mean she is caught up in the middle of two guys, whom i she love and the other was for the protection, who wouldn't want a drama of that sort in a movie, lana and clark deserves to be to gether no matter what the circumstances, the eriters can make up a story like, she entered the car but clark was there or something similar to that, all i'm trying to say is that smallville isnt really smaville without lana lane.

If Lana is not dead, there has to be some romance between her and Clark before he is able to move on. I know this is about Lana, but the real chemistry is between Chloe and Clark. They should have killed of Lois, and a distraught Chloe would have picked up Lois as her pen name. The real romance and chemistry could start. I know that Lois finds out about Clark much later in the comics, but the chemistry is great!

Well said, Valerie. Keeping a clear head in here is surely the way to go.

Ditto to having all the DVDs and not buying them because of KK/Lana, but rather for the Clark-Lex interaction, the heart of the show. I may point out faults and flaws in my favorite show, but that only means I care about it and want it to be made better. Smallville doesn't revolve around Lana, even if she is touted as the female lead.

If she is to stay, I hope the writers give her a better, more logical storyline; rather than being the passive-aggressive prize that the men are fighting for, why not get to her to stand on her own? Yeah, she did some of that in Season6, but she still had to rely on the Luthor name and money. She could do better than that, she needs to do it on her own. And if the only way she could achieve that is by being away from Smallville, then so be it.

To reiterate my original post, the show would take some getting used to without Lana around. But then, viewers could focus again on Clark and Lex.

"Money speaks louder than rants." Well, the showrunners should then listen and read the rants to make the show better, get back the viewers they lost, AND make more money in the end. Besides, ratings also play a big part in a show's lifespan. Don't knock it.

A dead Lana is the best thing that could happen to this show. I didn't mind high school Lana but ever since then she has just been an utter nightmare.

"The point is that those who are willing to shell out $100 million to WB for Smallville Dvds like the Lana Lang character."

Ah, no it doesn't. How do you come to that conclusion? All that means is that the people buying the SV DVDs like THE SHOW. It doesn't mean that they worship at the altar of Lana, or even care if she's there or not. It just means they are fans of the show. Sure, some of them like Lana. And some of them don't. I have all the DVD's, and Lana can stay or go, I really couldn't care less. I'm watching the show for Clark first and foremost, and Lex secondarily. The Lana character is mostly just whiney window dressing, and the show would lose almost nothing if she was gone. If she stays, I hope they figure out how to write her character, standing on her own, without tagging her with "object of desire". And I hope they wrap up the played out Clana romance.

Honestly folks, get real, Smallville doesn't live or die on the Lana Lang character. Thats ludicrous. If any one person gets the credit for Smallville, its the tall guy in the red jacket. You know, the star of the show. Or credit the whole cast. But credit going to KK/Lana? Come on now.

The point is that those who are willing to shell out $100 million to WB for Smallville Dvds like the Lana Lang character. Those who don't can go on the Internet and type all the anti Lana rants they want. Entertainment Weekly said of Smallville, " It is one of WB's biggest cash cows. The $400,000 per episode is re-sold over and over again. ABC has to buy the rights to rerun the reruns each year. The raving, anti-Lana bunch can post all they want. The fans shelling out the money to buy the Smallville Dvds like Lana. Money speaks louder than rants.

Get a clue "Abe". If all the anti-Lana posts are written by the same person are all the pro-Lana posts written by the same person too? And are you suggesting that DVD and episode sales are all attributed to Lana Lang/KK? I have no doubt that she certainly contributes to it but she isn't the only actor/actress. Please just accept that fact that there are many SV fans that simply don't like the Lana Lang character. Its just a common element in television programming; there's always somebody poeple don't like and most of the time they're written that way. GET OVER IT. Some people love LL/KK, others hate her. That's life.

The anti lana tirades are all written by the same poster under different names. This site makes a point to sell the anti-lana campaign. What is the point? Smallville DVDs makes a profit of $100 million for WB. Each episode is sold to ABC for $400,000 per episode. Is CW so stupid they can't add $$$. This site is an embarrassment to CW and a complete disservice to the actors. KK will be back and CW will pay her to stay on Season 8. The Smallville DVDs will continue to make a profit for WB and ABC will buy another season paying $400,000 per episode times 22 episodes a year, which is another eight to nine million to WB.

I don't think Lana is dead....but I think she will show up for an eppy or two. I want her out of Clark's life, cuz he won't do anything SUPER with her there!!!!! Why did we have to travel back in time to save her in the first place?!?!?! CURSE TIME TRAVEL

Lana is basically the reason I don't watch Smallville. She bores me to death and takes time away from more interesting characters like Chloe. If the show was less Blah blah blah, Lana, I would tune in more than twice a season -- because every time I tune in it's the same Blah blah blah, Lana thing.

I am not a regular viewer of Smallville; any portions of it I have ever watched were actually out of curiosity to see what the buzz was about (seeing how this is one of CW's higher rated shows), but mainly due to waiting for Supernatural to come on. I do have to say that I have watched this show enough times to know that Lana Lang grates on me; even if I were to become a regular viewer, I probably wouldn't last long because her character is just so amazingly irritating and needy. I agree with other posters who said:
"It would be a blessed relief not to have to watch and cringe as Clark and Lex fight over her, while everyone else comments on how beautiful she is and how she must be loved;"
"If anyone needs to get a life, its people who believe that KK is all that Smallville is about, and the rest of the actors mean nothing or don't have substantial fanbases on their own;"
and
"Killing Lana off might actually save Smallville."
Ms. Kruek needs to wake up; seriously, contract negotiations? I hope it's not over money.

I hope we get a few Lana-free episodes. She sucks the life out of the show and makes Clark boring.

This isn't Kreuk's fault - the writers and producers have this obsession with making her into this perfect victim and instead, have made her the dullest character on TV.

"Lets' be real people, Lana was only there for eye candy. I liked her but like most people, i won't really miss her. She was a constant distraction to our hero and if any of you really know your comic book/ cartoon/movie history of superman, Lana isn't supposed to exist."

Lana been in the comics since the 1950's as the female lead character in Clark's life in Smallville.

Not sure where you got your info from, but maybe this will help:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lana_Lang

So I guess everyone shouldn't know what you're saying, since it's very false.

Lets' be real people, Lana was only there for eye candy. I liked her but like most people, i won't really miss her. She was a constant distraction to our hero and if any of you really know your comic book/ cartoon/movie history of superman, Lana isn't supposed to exist.

Lois is going to be the new and best love of Clark's life and that's how it's supposed to be. Just like in real life we have our puppy loves for age 14 to 21 and then real life kicks in and we (hopefully) find REAL LOVE.

Now, with all of that said, i don't hink she died in that exposion, she's hiding out from the deadly grips of LL. She'll show up again and then disappear for good. The character that should have never died is Clarks father, he's supposed to be there through everything. The show really went topsy tervy when he left, it threw off the entire story.

Lana, Lana, Lana...Um...Just leave already. Disappear from my screen once and for all. You pretty much emotionally screwed all men on this show.

Hi,

Do you know where to find the Smallville Season 6 Cast Photos in Hi Def on the web ? Without copyright above.
Because I found these photos in Low Def only :'( here

Thanks in advance.

SO SAD & Ahmed, do you have both have little KK shrines hiding in your basements or in a dark corner of your closet?
Honestly, some Clana fans have a REAL HARD TIME separating the actress from the character. Not to mention a complete lack of noticing their own obsessive behavior. Someone at SWEET actually suggested KK can carry the show without Tom!

Yeah, I dare Ahmed. Gotta be honest though, I have never seen a single KK/Neutrogina commercial and have never lost a moments sleep because of it. Oh, and understand this you bafoon: I never challenged KK being the female lead, it just happened to be part of your ridiculous statement. My challenge was to your highly delusional theory that she's the face of CW.
ED maybe, the way she's being pimped, but KK, no.

Fan devotion is one thing, but to make such proudly lunatic statements like "I'll never watch CW again if KK leaves" is so fanatic. Because the world is just not right w/o Lana Lang.

Despite what some of the trifling Lana/Clana fans suggest, KK is a wonderful young woman; but Lana Lang is a detestable character. I still enjoy LL on the show occasionally, so like I said, stay or go its all the same to me.

LOL. The show is NOT gonna lose ratings because KK leaves. It's not like she's the main character of this show. The main character is Clark, and as long as he doesn't leave, we'e good to go. As for Lana, the truth is she annoys the crap outta me, so if she leaves, that's fine.

doesn't she die on superman 3 anyway? i guess the producers have to let her character live so she can die later on the movie. lol

dis is not good....without lana on smallville i don't know wat clark will do...i can't believe it, lana need 2 come back....i will miss her if she goes....i think it will b weird without her.....so pls bring lana back..

Killing Lana off might actually save Smallville. Clark is entirely unlikeable around her - he's not a hero at all, but on a leash like a little dog to someone who isn't worth it.
I have nothing against the actress but the character is horrible and ruined this show for me as early as Season 2.

I've long since given up trying to dispel the delusions that Lana-fans have about the character's popularity. Is Lana actually going to be gone though? My guess is that it's not likely, but there is an outside chance. Spoilers for next season indicate that Justin Hartley, Phil Morris, and Aaron Ashmore will both be back, the latter as a regular member of the cast. Also, there will be other additions to the cast, most notably Supergirl, who will apparently be flying, which is an expensive special effect. All this, at a time when the Canadian dollar has reached near-parity with its American counterpart, which of course makes the show much more expensive to shoot. Also, the abysmal ratings of the last half of season six, which were, not incidentally, largely due to the show's obsession with Lana, suggest that the network will be unlikely to increase the show's budget significantly, if at all. Meanwhile, those members of the regular cast who are returning will generally get contractually-mandated raises. So where is all the money for these new members of the cast and special effects going to come from? They'll save some money by not having to pay Annette O'Toole anymore, but is that going to be enough? And if Kreuk is demanding more money to come back, well....In any case, the point raised by Jen, that they start filming next week, is hardly dispositive. Even if Kreuk will be back, she won't necessarily be in the first episode, or even several episodes, of the season; there has been a rumor floating around that she'll only be in fifteen episodes in season seven. So they could easily start filming while continuing negotiations with Kreuk. Of course, it's also possible that the network is deliberately spreading false rumors about Kreuk's leaving simply to create some suspense about whether Lana actually died in "Phantom." I imagine though, that once they start filming, it will become impossible to conceal whether she'll be in the season premiere; there are just too many people on the set. There is one thing I can say for certain: if Lana is back next season, I certainly won't be, and I doubt I'll be alone.

BRING LANA BACK!
BRING LANA BACK!
BRING LANA BACK!
like some just comment the show will probably lose its ratings and it may look strange arent they meant to be together?

Dude, the only female lead of this should should be Erica Durance. She's way better than annoying Lana.

i like Kreuk but i really would liek Smallville better wihtout Lana.

Lana's character became more of a leash for Clark to ever really 'grow up' from his childhood dreams. I have to admit that I let a little 'woohoo' when Lana blew up. I mean how many times does that girl have to die before she finaly stayes dead?However, in the words of Chloe's character; she had better come back to the show. Her character seems to have a positive effect on the show.

LANA LANGG CNT DIEE
DA SHOWW IZZ GONNA B SHYTT W/O HERR
LANA SHUDNT DIEE!! LYKK KRISTENN KREUKK...CNT LEAVE DA SHOWW IT WILL B 2 AWKWARDD..N IT WILL LOSE ITZ POPULARITYY

If KK is not returning to Smallville, I simply will not watch Smallville. Lana is not a devisive character, she is certainly chronically badmouth by this site. The majority of actual TV viewers watch Smallville because of the three main characters. The internet is another story. A few people on the computer are able to create a virtual reality. The people running this site should not be returning in Season 7. A new crew needs to be on board on this here.

i believe Lana will be back alive.. Without her the story smallville is meaningless!! i'm sure she will be back alive~!

ot sad to hear this news. The Lana Lang character has become very annoying, almost a superfluous character like Pete had become. The show has moved toward Lois Clark and Lex being the focals of the series. Lana has just been an extra cast member. Good Lana, then witch Lana (best storyline with the character) back to nothing Lana. I will miss the Chloe character though.

Ah, Lana. She's ok, but I really don't care for her character anymore. Season 6 was such a mess. She started interesting, you know, getting darker with Lex and all, and BOOM! she then returned to the insecure "Clarkie, I'm in love with you! Soulmates foreva crap." I'm just tired of her and the way Clark acts around her.

Of course I would miss the FEMALE LEAD of this series. KK is apart of the main three and the main three is the foundation of SV and has been that way since the very first episode
"Pilot". Like it or not, that is just the plain truth or the situation. Her relationship with both Clark and Lex is considered an essential organ to SV (along with the clex relationship), so if she were to leave or if the show were to get rid of her, then it would definitely feel as if something was missing. *shrugs*

Just how I see it..

so much whinning about KK(LANA) leaving(shake head) you know maybe it's not a bad idea kk leaving the show,that way we won't have to read all the inmature posters comments about her.if and when she leaves the show,i'm done.i want have a reason to watch smallville anymore or the cw network(sorry super natural)i'm sure KK knows how much you guys hate her character and her(don't lie) because if you care anything about KK you wouldn't be her doing your pathetic dance about lana leaving.what a freaking shame it had to come to this.KK put this show on the map,and this is the thanks she gets(roll eyes) if this is what the man of steel represents in the future(hate/negative fans) then i don't want any part of the clark kent's joureny anymore or his future.if this is your(almiles/dc comics)way to reach the new generation,i have to say you guys has FAIL without a doudt... call me when you guys come up with something to help my generation not hurt it.....

Kristin Kreuk is a good actress, but her character on SV is just incredibly annoying and inconsistent. I don't see her purpose on the show anymore. Honestly? I wouldn't miss her if she decides to leave. Time to move Clark into the future.

Oh my god... so much idiots haters. Why do you hate so much a character? I know.. jealous! Kristin Kreuk is important for the show and she will come back. No matter what do you say about lana... she's still on the show and i'm sorry for you.. get a life, haters!
I LOVE LANA LANG!!!!

[i]Wow. I've read many a post from various Lana/KK fans, but I'm gonna have to award you the biggest idiot on the planet award. KK is a wonderful person, but to even suggest there would be no important storylines without her. And the face of CW? Are you...serious? Its one thing to idolize someone but you seem more like a crazed stalker. KK, be on the lookout for this loon.[/i]

who the fuck do you think you are to attack me? The WB has always promoted KK right along TW in all their promos and trailers, MR was the one who was frequently absent from promos and trailers. and even today, all i see on the CW are smallville promos with TW and KK as well as KK's Neutrogena commercials every other hour. and have you even seen the show? lana has always been a major part of the show, with clark AND lex, the other LEADS of the show.

i don't give a damn what you think, 'cause chlark and clois will never happen on this show. and you're probably one of those losers who think chloe is lois. looks to me like you're the lunatic who's about to get an acme anvil dropped on your crazy ass!

All the best to Kristin in her future.
I do hope she won't be back, her character has run it's course.
It's time for the show to start focusing on Clark and his young adult years and turning into Superman. High school sweetheart should be left behind, high school is over. Bring on Metropolis storylines and more mythos.

Kristin Kreuk is the female LEAD of this show. she is just as important as Tom Welling and is the female face this show and the entire CW represents. without her, there would be no show and no important storylines.

Good luck with whatever you do KK! Leave, stay, its all the same to me.

Gosh, there's no bias in that paragraph. "...but be honest - will you miss her?"

Why wouldn't I? Her character has grown and matured sooooo much over the season. She's ALWAYS been a huge part of the show. It won't be the same without her. Doesn't matter if this show is about Clark and his journey, because Lana is a big part of Clark and his journey.

If any here don't miss her, well that is the writer's fault not the actress. The character has been shucked from one abusive boyfriend(so many can't even name them all) to another playing the victim time after time.

Can't blame Kristin if she wants to leave either, it has to be tiring to replay the same scenes over and over again.

this show has always been about clark, lana, and lex. the show's main relationship has always been clana. general viewers of smallville favour clana and lana over chloe and lois, and most lana/clana-centric episodes have always had some of the highest ratings of this series.

Kristin Kreuk is the female LEAD of this show. she is just as important as Tom Welling and is the female face this show and the entire CW represents. without her, there would be no show and no important storylines. KK is the most beautiful and the most talented female on this show. and her work in Partition was beyond incredible. it's clear her acting has gotten way too good for a show like smallville, but she'll still stick it out until the end just like she did for Edgemont when she landed the role of lana.. KK's cool like that.

i'd miss KK if she left smallville and i wouldn't watch anymore, but we all know al and miles aren't stupid or crazy enough to let their goldmine go. but a part of me that wants KK to leave just so i can see smallville get cancelled 3 episodes into the season.

Sorry but I have in good authority that Kristin Kreuk will be back. Let's just say a little birdie told me.

Now about Season 8? Well, that's different since I know she hasn't signed on yet.

But Lana ain't dead. Sorry to burst your bubbles.

I think Lana should come back, somewhere mid-season, to provide closure to the drawn out Clana stuff, and have her and Clark can be the lifelong friends that they are supposed to be. That would serve the story in the best way, while still moving all the characters forward.

If she doesn't come back, the show will be just fine. In fact, I don't think it will have much of an effect at all. Only the Lana/KK fanatics live and die by her appearances on the show, and I strongly suspect most of SV's viewers are watching for the show in general. Not just one actress. If anyone needs to get a life, its people who believe that KK is all that Smallville is about, and the rest of the actors mean nothing or don't have substantial fanbases on their own.

For me, as long as the show continues to be about Clark Kent, with TW playing him, I'll watch. Other actors and actresses can come and go. But Clark is the heart of the show.

If KK doesn't return, I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors.

Of course I will miss Lana Lang, specially KK. I dont think SV will be stronger without her.

WOW whats with all the hate, ok if you don't like lana whatever..fine but stop taking it out on the actress. Kristin is a big part of the show whether people want to believe it or not. If she goes, the show will tank, and i would think tptb know that so she is not going anywhere. Oh and to those who think she has no talant, are you even watching the same show?? she is one of the best on this show.

Enough of the bashing..time to grow up.

SERIOUSLY?!

They start filming NEXT WEEK. She's in season 7, this was just some stupid rumor started by Kristin Veitch from E! who's is wrong 85
% of the time.

People, get a fucking life.

Awww, poor Scott, you disillusioned thing you. Clark and Lana are so NOT the show. A popular couple perhaps, but definitely not the show. Clark? Yes. Lex? Yes. Chloe, Lois and Lana are all just "fillers" to the master legends that are Clex. Just to help you out Scott, this show is about young Superman, and THAT is the show.

Lana Lang has had a long and glorious run complete with all the "she must be loved" they could give her. I say RIP Lana Lang; then I feel pity for those in hell with her. An eternity of Lana Lang is just unfathomable.

Good luck KK, but your character is a simpering, spoiled, self-absorbed, gold-digging, bitch. Surely, you can do better than this.

Why do Allison Mack fans always feel the need to compare Kristin to Allison or Allison to Kristin? If Allison as awesome as you guys believe she is, shouldn't that be enough? No need to remind people of it by comparing her to other actresses.

Anyway, if Kristin leaves I'm done with the series. I'm sure she'll find work outside of Smallville if she chooses to.

She's already working on two projects and who knows what else she has lined up!

I'm excited. Ever since watching Partition I only see big things for Kristin in the future and sometimes feel that Smallville is holding her back from doing project due to all the time she has to spends on the series! :(

Actually I feel the same for all the other actors, I think Smallville has became too cheap for all their talent and it's time for all of them to move on from the series!

Kristin and Tom ARE the show. She goes, the show dies. End of story.

But she's not going anywhere, so nothing to see here. Move along.

KK has nothing going for her as an actress. Maybe it's the role, I'll give her the benefit of the doubt, but the range of emotions she is able to display (compared to the magnificent AM) is limited to put it mildly. She should seek another line of work.

It really bothers me that she's being such a prima donna. If a great actor like Rosenbaum is "stuck" on the show for one more year - she should be too. She tanked the show and she should go down with the ship.

Say, now there’s an idea. Season 7 could be written off as a bad dream … Hmmm, I think I like it!

first I like KK. her character? honestly, i've always been lukewarm to lana lang in the comic strip (i always rooted for lois lane) so i'll leave that to the writers and producers of the show. certainly as an actor, hopefully KK would want writing that challenges her craft and skill. that said, since i am not privy to her negotiations i can only assume it's gotta be more that just the money.

quite frankly, i'm not sure whether i'll miss her character but the show needs to close up the story line on her death, i.e., either come up with a dead body or say that everything was a dream (a la Dallas) and that lana left lex to go into hiding. hopefully the writers can tie up loose ends in a more creative manner then i've stated here.

also, whether or not fans and foe like it, lana is a principal love interest to one of its "major super heroes," so i'm not sure whether DC comics will allow that character (lana) to "just die." (someone, correct me if i'm wrong, but DC comics still own the rights to its original characters?) it would make more sense for the character of chloe sullivan to die. (i love AM and think she's too good of an actor for this show--she needs to be doing other acting gigs.)

if the producers and network are planning for a S8 after S7, it makes a LOT of creative sense to lose lana lang. i guess the question is "how?" for myself personally, i'm really more interested about how the producers will write off lex luthor. that man will NEVER die.

Lana was a parasite on this show since S2. Never having any reason to be on screen despite being a passive love interest she sucked all the potential out of this show. Seeing this character finally go may be the best thing that I've seen on this show for years.

I like KK quite a lot, but I hate Lana Lang and hope that she will stay dead forever.

I will not miss Lana Lang.

Lana death would be a good new for the real superman.
Clark was ready to kill for Lana (6-22 Lionel)and it's not a situation of life or death.We want to see the real Chloe this season. We want to see romantic Chlark. Chloe is the real Lois Lane in Smallville.

I don't really care either way. On one side, S7 is already sounding pretty busy w/Supergirl, the new DP editor, GA returning, Jimmy being in more episodes, possibly the last season... Also, it would be so awesome if Lex really did kill his wife, Lana not being dead is predictable, and she knows everything now. How are they going to stop her and Clark from marrying? :P
On the other hand, there's a slight possibility that I just might kinda sorta miss her... maybe.

Lana always gets stuck with the worst plot-lines - or rather the same plot-line over and over: she trusts a boy and he does her wrong. Yawn. It's boring & KK is probably the most bored with it.

So, yeah, I hope KK is leaving and moving on to better roles.

Ah, Lana. I'm sick and tired of your annoying, "oh, I'm such a victim" self. I won't miss her. In fact, I think her departure will help the show a lot, especially moving Clark forward.

No offense to Kristin, but if Lana wants to leave, I'd be more than happy. She has no purpose whatsoever in the show anymore, and she's just holding Clark back. Goodbye, Lana. I won't miss you one bit.

Will I miss Lana?! Not a chance. Maybe with Lana gone Clark and Lex can stop uttering such stupid lines as "My greatest power is to hurt Lana", "Letting Lana go is the hardest thing I've ever had to do", "Saying ['I don't love you' to Lana] was the hardest thing I've ever had to do", Lex waiting at the altar to see if Lana was going to show up was the "hardest thing he ever had to endure". Smallville has turned the greatest superhero and his nemesis into lobotomized 15 year old boys fighting over a vapid, self-centered twit.

And maybe, if we're lucky, we might have a Clark/Lex conversation that doesn't degenerate into a pissing contest over Lana.

I like KK just fine, but it's time for Lana Lang to go.

Miss her? God, no. I will dance on her grave!!! The show's handling of Lana has made her the most unlikeable, aggravating and useless character on television.

"Will I miss her?" --- No. Absolutely.

Smallville without the Langst wouldn't be strange. Yes, it would take some getting used to, given that 6years had been a lot to endure and that one must've built quite a resistance/immunity during that time. But overall, it will be a major godsend.

Strange? No. It would be a blessed relief not to have to watch and cringe as Clark and Lex fight over her, while everyone else comments on how beautiful she is and how she must be loved. I hope she stays dead. Then maybe we might actually get an enjoyable season of Smallville. The funny thing is the actress knows that her character has long outstayed her welcome. The show runners sadly never got that. What a waste of great characters like Clark and Lex on *her*.

Would I miss her? Nope. Would Smallville be stange without her? Nope.

Honestly, I think the show would be better without Lana. I like KK and all, but even she doesn't like the role her character she plays.

Strange??? NO, nice and Blahna free... yes.

I love the Kreuk don't get me wrong but Lana was driving me insane, let's not get into CLana *bleh*. It's a sign when the actress doesn't want to be a certain character anymore tells you alot about what direction she wanted to go.

Anywho I liked that she blew up, let her play in offscreenville that'll work for me :)
