`Smallville’ gets smaller
“Smallville” loses a resident in the Jan. 26 episode.
That episode, the 100th, marks a change in direction for the series, according to star Tom Welling.
“I think from this episode on, this show is going to be very different from what it’s been in the past,” Welling told critics gathered in Pasadena for the winter press tour. “We’re going to actually start seeing the Lex Luther and Clark Kent rivalry. It’s going to explode a lot faster than it has in the past.”
As for that main character leaving the show, Welling says it was bittersweet for both the show and the actor.
“I think (the actor) was looking forward to a little time off, but then when the day came that person was caught a few times on the set just kind of looking around, going ‘Yeah, well, I guess this is it.’ “
