Smallville: Supergirl to Spice Up Season 7
![]()
More Smallville casting news! Executive producer Al Gough tells TVGuide.com that Clark's cousin, Kara, will be stopping by our planet for some Season 7 fun. Kara “ 'will help Clark get in touch with his Kryptonian roots. With his [adopted] father dead and his [adopted] mother moved to Washington [to become a U.S. Senator], and Lana blown up, suddenly there’s some family in his life.' ” The new girl in town is expected to hang around for about half of next season's episodes.
This chica will also be able to fly, interestingly enough. Apparently the ol' adage that girls mature faster than boys holds true for Kryptonians too!
Who would you like to see take on the role of Supergirl? And do you think Smallville needs another character? Or is it about time we see Clark do the flying around here?
UPDATE: Supergirl to make a move on Jimmy Olsen!
ANOTHER UPDATE: Helen Slater on Smallville?
Comments
Well she is in the season for half the season, so there will be some room for Clark. Apparently they have chosen Laura Vendervoort to play Super-girl. Also Clark is getting closer to his destiny but in someway he manages to stay away from it. Like when he gets his future cape in Action, he simply admires it and then leaves it hanging on the fence and walks away.

Like the Beatles going from their mop-tops to their transformation at Sgt. Pepper, why not (for season 8) roll the dice and go ten years in the future, change the name of the show from "Smallville" to "Metropolis", and have the characters take on a more mature air. This show has always been gambling with ideas, and though the innocence of the first four seasons of High school were just brilliant, I think this limbo period of "he's in training to be the future Superman" does not really lend itself to interesting stories that can be sustained. Granted, it is an area of the Superman legend that has not been explored, so it's fertile ground for drama, but to shoot the moon and take the characters, which we love, to the Man of Steel era would be exciting. Granted, the producers vowed that this would be a "no tights, no flight" series for Clark, but this series has had a great run, so why not just ramp it up and change it dramatically. Unfortunately, some network executive with a suit and tasseled loafers a Warner Brothers would be looking at demographics and would say nonsense in effect of "we can't lose our twenty-something base for this show" if we change it. I say, why not radically change it. Keep the relationships of the charaters, but change the time and setting. Anyway, eventually Tom is not going to pull off being an early twenty year old one of these days, so either quit on a good note or transform it and keep going.

I don't like the addition of Super Girl and here's why: she seems to be taking a lot of the focus off of Clark. He is supposed to begin his training and I think this is a crucial part of the legend. We never see how Clark becomes Superman. One day he's Clark and the next day he's flying. I want to see him learn to fly like Spider-man had to learn to use his webbing to fly from building to building. The practice was amusing. Also, Clark is supposed to be the only super HERO in Smallville. All the other good guys with powers were temporary (no names on the credits), but this actress seems to be here for the long haul. Only Clark should be as strong as Clark. This girl has more powers than him! He has to be the best in the world otherwise what's the point? Also, I was watching the Oct. 10th episode and the whole thing was based on Kara fitting into Smallville, with Clark acting as the father figure trying to get her to practice shooting fire beams from her eyes (reminiscent of Jonathan Kent). Clark and Lana reunite after her return from the grave and the story took a backseat to Kara's Smallville adventures. I mean this episode should have been huge! Clark and Lana discuss her knowledge of Clark's powers! How was this not treated accordingly?! Anyway, I think that the producers are laying the groundwork for a Super Girl spin-off and that is whay we are being subjected to this drivel. I mean really, there was only one Supergirl movie and it bombed!

I guess that I can't say much since I'am a big fan of smallville and the charaters on the show but if they killed off Lana on the show then why would they have older lana. Cause they show a few time in any superman story so she can't be dead.

i love smallville i just couldn't wait for the new season to start, and finally its there
Posted by: jean | October 5, 2007 1:04 PM
Lana and Clark!!!!!!!
Posted by: N | September 12, 2007 4:17 AM
I was hoping Supergirl would appear, sometime. I'm happy about that ( hopefully Clark's other powers will manifest more ..like flight.) I'm also hoping Lana and Clark figure things out, as I'd like to see Lois & Clark finally find each other. And it was great seeing Clark work with other super powered guys ( reminded me of Superboy working with the 30th Century Legion of Super Heroes....something I'd like to see on the screen )
I've always thought Kara-El, being Clark's cousin, is Zor-El's daughter ( not neice )...Zor-El being Jor-El's brother.

I hope lana is dead and its about time clark fly and hook up with someone who's not anoying

hello
i see the smallville from GREECE very nice show !!!!
let's see what new characters will be in the new season.
Posted by: Stain | August 27, 2007 12:42 PM
I don't think they killed (kicked) off anyone but jimmy, and the mom. I think clark should man up and start flying soon or at least super jumping. Also i heard rumors that this is the last season, if it is he better hook up with someone, and end it flying up into the clouds with her like in the old movies. The super girl should be Megan fox or Lacey Chabert (google her pics) i think they'll both fit the part good. Plus there both hot as hell.

Lana cant be with Clark it just wont happend we all know the deal in the end. I just dont think if they want to take out Lana..cmon let it be she desides to move some where else not die.. Anyway i think Clark is gonna get gayer...cmon him with the stupid glasses and acting all nerdy i think everyone gonna be brainwash or smthing cuz well Loius Lane knows clark without the glasses...soo she would have know in the Superman movies that hey Clark is fuckin superman. Which i think they should make a movie that Superman at least gets a girl to be with for god sakes is fuking depressing seing a guy fly super strong and all the other shits and not get a hot gal to be with..that just saaad. so yeah we all know how should be the ending if it conna be a connection with the Superman movies...which i think so i doubt there gonna make it separte.

Lana better be alive. I luv her. She's so hot. Wjy can't they get rid of useless lois lane.
Posted by: shawn | August 7, 2007 9:37 AM

Lana just leave and chloe get with oliver queen and jimmy will find some one Lana need to either take clark or leave him and he shouldnt wait around for her he is sssoooo HOT!!! he can get lois even chloe, as for supergirl megan fox, sarah michelle geller, jessica beil whoever just TRY and pick some girl who is as hot as clark (tom) no one is but they can try and come clos
Posted by: hailey | July 31, 2007 4:14 PM
TO EVERYONE EVERYWHERE LANA IS NOT DEAD! IT'S OFFCIAL SHE'S ON THE CAST WRITE UP LIST FOR SEASON 7 IT IS TO BE CLAIMED SHE FAKED TO GET IN HER CAR JUMPED ON THE OTHER SIDE WAITED FOR THE ICE CREAM TRUCK AND JUMPED IN! LETTING HER CAR BLOW UP! SHE TOLD CLARK SHE WAS LEAVING SMALLVILLE BUT CLARK SAID LEX WOULD NEVER LET YOU LEAVE SHE CAME UP WITH AN EXACT PLAN WICH LIONEL WAS PART OF BUT DIDN'T KNOW NOW IN SEASON 7 LEX WILL BE SEARCHING AND SO WILL CLARK LANNA IS STILL ALIVE
PS. THAT IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE IM TIRED OF PEOPLE POSTING LANA VIDS ON YOU TUBE CALLED
LANA LANG- 1982-2007
Posted by: KJ | July 30, 2007 5:58 PM
im so glad that lex is put in jail.
Posted by: smallville lover | July 30, 2007 3:30 AM
please let lana live,who cares if chloes dead
Posted by: Ashley Ward | July 30, 2007 3:25 AM
I think it will be neat to have Supergirl come in but what is up with all the stuff with lana and will she come in on a later in the season show or will she be out for the whole season and also will the truth be know who had blown up the car with Lois in it or did she get away from the blast or is she truely dead and will Lionel come out and show his true colors to be for clark or Kalal or will he show that he is truely on the side of Lex. Also will Clarks mom stay in Washington or will she go back to the farm. Also does he truely come to know what his father Kalal want him to do on earth or are we to assume that he is to take over the planet like his father keeps saying that is his purpose on this planet.

For those who wanted to know thw new season starts September 27 (Thursday). I think Supergirl is a good add to the show they may be just putting her in because obviously Lana will be gone for quite sometime and Chloe will either be dead or recovering so they need another girl to spice things up. Smallville is one of my addictions but im kind of getting tired of all this playing around lets see him save people and fly and please find someone or get back with Lana because its just sad to see Superman whining about not having Lana i mean comeon allready he could of had her so long ago i mean he asked her to marry him but she died and he went back in time and all that if i were the writers i would have made it so that Chloe tells Lana these things while she was with Lex and after she found out because frankly i would like to see how she takes it. i hope we get a very pleasing and action and happy season because last season was fun yet sad with mopy Clark sad about not having Lana. Overall i believe Supergirl is a good addition and im hoping she knows another kryptonian or friend (whos cute) that Clark can have something with lol. But last season left us on a big cliffhanger and im hoping to see how everything turns out and im also hoping that Clark gets on some red kryptonite because i love how he acts on it he just doesnt care and i think those are good episodes. REMEMBER SEPTEMBER 27 mark the calendar.!! cant wait. . .

Megan Fox as Super Girl good idea that would be kool to see.I think she could do a good job.
Posted by: Anonymous | July 23, 2007 9:18 AM
Lana is not gonna die, the producers aren't ready to kill her off, she's part of the reason for the success of the show. Remember the truck that went by just before the explosion. She planned it to make it look like she died so that people won't try to hunt her down and then she can live another identity. Kinda hard as a Luthor so she will be found out. Maybe not right away in the first ep in the new season but eventually will re-appear.
Posted by: Joe | July 20, 2007 11:02 PM
Does anyne know when the new season of Smallville will start in the fall of 2007? I am tryign to put it on my calendar so I don't miss out. Thanks !!
Posted by: CrazyAboutSmallville | July 19, 2007 12:26 PM
For possible actresses to play the role of Kara, I think a less high-profile one would be appropriate. My top four are: 1)Ashley Peldon, 2) Larisa Oleynik, 3) Madeline Zima, 4) Chyler Leigh. Chyler Leigh may not be available since she's going to be playing Meredith Grey's half-sister on Grey's Anatomy this coming season. According to IMDB.com, the other three don't seem to be working on any TV projects and have not been on Smallville.
Posted by: Anonymous | July 19, 2007 10:57 AM
All I know is that if Lana Lang is no longer on Smallville there really is no reason to watch. We all love to watch the Clana Drama.
Posted by: lana fan | July 12, 2007 4:47 PM
Lana can't die off of Smallville! She is so beautiful and this will only make Clark feel guilty, since he thought if Lana knew his secret, she would be killed. I think she planned the explosion to get away from Lex. Chloe can't die either! She is so smart and she helps Clark figure out all of the "meteor mysteries" in Smallville. She is his 'right-hand lady'!
Posted by: Danielle | July 10, 2007 5:58 PM
I think batmans birth should be on the 7th season but this ninja needs to be chinnese to make it all real the story of batman should be past down down to bruce wayne by this chinnese man as his tutorer after his parents are killed.. now that would sky rocket the ratings on your show
Posted by: edson saldana | July 6, 2007 12:15 PM
Hey supergirl is going to be sensational in season 7 but this doesnt neccesarly mean she has to be BLONDLE bend the rules alittle get some who can fit the paper plus this is smallville where it all started, like bart he is supposed to be flash end up being some one else...I thingk.. oooh I take that back get the blondy from heroes yeah the chearleader that would be off the chain she should play the role of SPG plus she looks hot in that skirt..chloe must continue in the show because clark looks like he will downfall with out his sidekick and as for lana she needs to die already that way clark can become who he was destine to be anyways lana is the main reason why he has transformed..cant wait for new season to start
Posted by: edson saldana | July 6, 2007 11:14 AM
Well I think that Lana needed to die because she was just a pain and could not handel the truth even if it samked her in the face.Now I think that with Supergirl in the show Clark better find his inner Kryptonian strenghth and not be so soft.Now I hope the little kid stuff is over and the real drama begins
Posted by: Tyrone | July 6, 2007 9:04 AM
Well i think season 7 will be good, I hope Lana is dead because she just needed to go. But we all know she's not:( Hopefuly Chole will live and adding supergirl might not be so bad. And you really cant compire the superman movies to the show because Smallville as already changed so many things in the superman Mythos it should be considered its own entity.
Posted by: Brandon | July 5, 2007 10:46 AM
we all know that lana escaped in that white car at the last second to probably fake her death .. and she will probably come back in like some later season after clark has learned how to fly. Hopefully clark will dump lana for the supergirl with less drama
Posted by: Anonymous | July 3, 2007 9:14 PM
The 7 season will be good because of supergirl the show going to be better with more superheroes on the show
Posted by: Roy | June 30, 2007 6:49 PM
I DONT WANT LANA TO BE DEAD HER AND CLARK MAKE THE BEST COUPLE AND SMALLVILLE SHOULD STOP BEING COMPARED TO THE MOVIES ITS ALL ITS OWN. BUT THATS JUST MY OPINION.
Posted by: Anonymous | June 29, 2007 11:53 PM
Lana should be written off for awhile. Looks like Chloe's dead, really dumb way for her to die. I guess a part of her is now in Lois, which could explain why Lois becomes a better reporter and eventually falls for Clark.
As for Supergirl, that's SICK! Either Eliza Dushku or Megan Fox would spice up the role.
Posted by: joe. | June 29, 2007 10:20 PM
I would like to suggest Jessica Biel as Supergirl becauseshe has the body & personality........anybody seen Blade 3 (Trinity)? Its awesome!!!!!! Jessica is the right one to be Supergirl.......
Posted by: astty | June 29, 2007 2:37 PM
The last season finale is very exciting & interesting. It left me hanging because i dont know if who's really dead. I dont want Lana to die because she's the one for clark and same as cloe because she's his bestfriend. I'm just wondering when season 7 is going to start because i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: astty | June 29, 2007 2:26 PM
Lana should die! But she's not gonna. Chloe iz gonna die and Clark is gonna be sooo.... MAD! He's gonna cry for her and then go after Lex! I don't wanna see my baby cry!
Posted by: The Biggest Smallville Fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | June 28, 2007 3:51 PM
Lana is in the 3rd movie.. Clark saves her son from some wheat chopping machine (not a farmer obviously). So it would be kinda hard to watch the writers change the movie so much by killing her off. I also believe it was planned by her to get away from lex possibly even with help from Oliver Queen or even Lionell.
Posted by: Doug | June 28, 2007 9:20 AM
Lana cant be dead! Not now!
But Lana and Chloe might be dead because they are not in the movies and it would make more sense..
That is prolly why Clark hates Lex even more in the movies and they went their seperate ways... All I want is a 7th season and I still want Lana to come back!!!!
Posted by: Anonymous | June 25, 2007 9:02 AM
I was wondering. does anyone know what season smallville is playing currently on the CW?
Posted by: Diana | June 24, 2007 11:40 PM
dont let lana die
Posted by: Anonymous | June 24, 2007 8:49 PM
I hope that lana is still alive case she is the best in the hole cast.
Posted by: john | June 24, 2007 4:40 PM
I now lana is not dead she plan that, but this next season 7 is going to be great i hope it keeps going to more seasons.
Posted by: fernando gonzalez | June 22, 2007 11:54 PM
I think it would be cool to have super girl around it will ad another important charater to the series. I mean Clark has lost so many people important to him. Chole was the only person he put his trust in to besides a few other people. Lana is the love of Clark's life and it would be nice to see them together with nothing holding them back. And Loinel can just go die.
Posted by: Dev | June 21, 2007 5:35 PM
please please dont let lana die
Posted by: iho | June 21, 2007 3:39 PM
i am just mad lala died why she had to die
Posted by: lt crakhead | June 19, 2007 3:33 PM
It would kind of suck of Lana died but the show does go on. My suggestions for Supergirl would be Rachel Bilson from the OC or Willa Ford
Posted by: Bmoss | June 17, 2007 11:38 PM
Joseph, I completely agree. Season six really screwed with our present characters, leaving inconsistencies in motive and personality as well as from what I hear, some really confounded actors. Before we get a whole new cast, fix the old one first! Talk about putting salt in open wound...
Posted by: Melissa | June 16, 2007 9:18 PM
As long as this means Chloe cried out her powers, bring on supergirl.
there is no room for 2 super powered blond girls...so let Chloe shine where she is supposed to..at the Daily Planet!
Posted by: S | June 16, 2007 6:40 PM
I think Lana will be back- she probably is in witness protection, cuz u never actually SEE her blow up - Chloe will be back, she has powers people!
but I agree, a new face will be good, it is now time for Clark to step up and be his own person and save the world instead of always the same people!
Posted by: Angie | June 15, 2007 5:06 PM
Smallville is the best! Anyways from last season... you know the season finale well, I dont think that Lana died because there was a mail truck that had driven by right before her car "blew up". and IO dont think that Choloe died either. I think that her gift/power is healing!
Posted by: paula delesbore | June 15, 2007 12:36 PM
i think jessica beil should play supergurl beacause the other jessics jessuca alba is playing a superhero invisible woman and there both hot c'mon clark and her would be crazy and the ratings would be awesome
Posted by: T.J. | June 14, 2007 10:52 PM
minkia ma io non capisco nulla i don't know undestood english i don't speak english.................i'm sorry but i love tom welling is my life ti amo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: jenny | June 14, 2007 12:23 PM
Awesome!!
IDK who should play supergirl though....someone who won't look awkward lifting up cars I guess...someone with a bit of muscle to them. I have no idea who though...the girl who played her originally was good.
Posted by: sharon | June 13, 2007 9:23 PM
whatever. i just want interesting and creative storylines. that alone is enough to get my attention for an entire season. oh yeah -- and a another thing about a series finale (whether S7 or S8), i just hope al and miles don't take cues from david chase and decide to "soprano" us! that would suck BIG time. LOL
Posted by: Just Tina | June 13, 2007 6:08 PM
THANK GOD INALE THEY ARE GETTING SUPPERGIRL!!! THIS WILL MAKE THE SHOW EVEN INTERESTING I WISH THAT KARA AND CLARK WERENT COUSINS THEN MAYBE THE COULS HAVE A LOVE INTERESTS AND LANA BE THE OTHER GIRL BUT HER HAVEING IN INTEREST OF JIMMY WILL DO GO CLUE!!! U HAVE TO MAKE SUPERGIRL REALLY PRETTY JUST AS PREETIER AS LANA BTU A CUTE BLONDE AND SHE HAS TO BE UNGER THEN CLARK MAN I AM CRAZY ABOUT SMALLVILLE AND THIS IS GONNA PUT ME RIGHT OVER THE EDGE WRITERS U ROCK!!! P.SP KEEP THIS SHOW ON FOR ONE MORE SEASON ACTOR S AND ACTRESS WE LOVE U!!!!!1
Posted by: Mizz Candii | June 13, 2007 5:23 PM
I hope they get the girl that played fake Kara at the end of season 3...she was SFH!!!
Posted by: Adam | June 12, 2007 4:10 PM
I hope that you get clark flying in the seventh season.It's high time that Clark buckled down and Started acting like Superman.
Posted by: Nisa | June 12, 2007 2:49 PM
Uh... correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Clark meet 'Kara' at the end of Season 3? Sure, it was really a shop-lifter that Jor-El had tricked, but you'd think Clark would learn not to trust strangers claiming to be Kara from Krypton...
Posted by: Meg | June 12, 2007 1:42 PM
I think having Supergirl is awesome. However, I gotta agree. What's the point? Clark will be cool, and non-whinning for half of the season, and once Lana comes back (she should have just died for real), he'll return to mopey Clark again.
Posted by: Kaylin | June 12, 2007 12:46 PM
GREAT NEWSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Supergirl will be a great additon, finally some fortress back in the show and real mythos
Posted by: Bryan Smith | June 11, 2007 9:18 PM
This is just another season of GreenArrow-ville. More sidelined Clark and less time for Chloe and Lex. All the while the show waits until KK is done with her movie and it's another season wasted because as soon as Lana returns absolutely NOTHING that happened before that point will matter. Season 7 is already a bust because the show runners have decided that their original characters are too boring to write for if Lana isn't around. Therefore they add unneccesary characters and hope people will tune in and not mind that we're not going to be seeing the journey of Kara becoming Supergirl, while Clark still acts like a 15 year old twit over Lana and losing her. And neither Chloe nor Lex will fare any better.
Posted by: Olivia | June 11, 2007 5:53 PM
I HOPE THAT LANE IS DEAD.
Posted by: Anonymous | June 11, 2007 2:34 PM
I'm very excited about the upcoming season. Kara will make a wonderful additon. Clark needs a Kryptonian to guide him into adulthood. Clark cannot stay in Smallville forever, crying over Lana and doing chores on the farm. I hope they bring back Chloe. She was a great sidekick! Lana I could do without, even though I did like that she was getting less whiney. She needs to die so Clark can toughen up and move on. Give the Justice League their own show. That would be much better than a couple guest apperances.
Posted by: Vanessa | June 11, 2007 2:27 PM
When will Clark put on the cape and tights with the "S" on his chest. Im waiting for Superboy to arrive.
Posted by: joseph | June 11, 2007 1:47 PM
This news isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was hoping that it would be announce season 7 was it's last. *sigh*
Anyways, I'm not sure how I feel about this. The last thing this show needs it another person that is not already in their main cast. They're bringing Jimmy for 13, the Editor, and now Supergirl? They couldn't even work out Green Arrow without Clark getting his time cut significantly. Seriously Goughlar, fix the fucking characters that you already have BEFORE bringing in new ones.
Posted by: Lillie | June 11, 2007 12:45 PM
Oh I would love her to join the cast but why the name Kara didnt supergirl have like 2 names? I hope they pick someone good to play her.
