Ilove west life boys Hindi Lyrics:
Woh chali, woh chali, dekho pyaar ki gali
Usse roke naa koi, woh chali, woh chali
Na na na meri jaan, dekho jaana naa vahan
Koi pyaar ka lutera lute naa meri jaan
Woh chali, woh chali, she` s found the love that` s real
Now her wounded heart is healed, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, leavin` all her tears behind
Only love` s on her mind, finally, finally
No, she tried but she can` t hide all her joy wrapped up inside
She can` t wait to reveal and tell you how she feels
Well this time it feels so right, there` ll be no more lonesome nights
Good times are here to stay, love will shine on everyday
Woh chali, woh chali, she` s found the love that` s real
Now her wounded heart is healed, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, leavin` all her tears behind
Only love` s on her mind, finally, finally
In my heart there is some pain, don` t ask me why I can` t explain
Maybe I did love her too, now there` s nothing I can do
On the other side of town, her love is waitin` on
And she` s waving me goodbye, I think my heart is gonna cry
Woh chali, woh chali, she` s found the love that` s real
Now her wounded heart is healed, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, leavin` all her tears behind
Only love` s on her mind, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, dekho pyaar ki gali
Usse roke naa koi, woh chali, woh chali
Na na na meri jaan, dekho jaana naa vahan
Koi pyaar ka lutera lute naa
Woh chali, woh chali, she` s found the love that` s real
Now her wounded heart is healed, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, leavin` all her tears behind
Only love` s on her mind, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, she` s found the love that` s real
Now her wounded heart is healed, finally, finally
Woh chali, woh chali, leavin` all her tears behind
Only love` s on her mind, finally, finallyChat availability:

DeliciousYours, my dear Edny
First of all, I wish to thank you for your e-mail, and which I was very glad to read.
I thank you for the confidence you continue to show me.
It is very important for you not to lose faith, faced with the problems around you. I know that you are going through some new difficult times right now, but you must never lose sight of the goal that we are going to reach together, very soon. I know that you are in a hurry (as I am!) to reach this goal as soon as possible! I can assure you that we are very speedily, getting incredibly closer to it. I am simply asking you to be a little more patient, and I am certain that you will have no regrets. Time is crucial in loosening a difficult situation such as yours, especially considering the time that you wrote to me for the first time, when you were bound up in failure. Since that day, you have recovered some strength in your emotional state. You have probably noticed this yourself. But you must be strong, and hold on tight to the principle of our common effort. We are going to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I can feel it, I know it! That is why I am encouraging you to undertake whatever is necessary, and why I am sending you my best wishes for Success. With warmth and friendship, Yours faithfully, Sara Freder.

Send "Season In The Sun" Ringtone to your Cell Characters of Smallville From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Smallville characters (season 2)) Jump to: navigation, search The season four cast—(from left) Allison Mack, John Glover, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Annette O`Toole, Jensen Ackles, John Schneider, Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum —contains the characters who have been on the show the longest, with the exception of Ackles who left after one season.Smallville is an American television series developed by writer/producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, and was initially broadcast by The WB. After its fifth season, the WB and UPN merged to form The CW, which is the current broadcaster for the show in the United States.[1] The show features a regular cast of characters, which began with eight main characters in its first season. Since then, characters from that first season have left the show, with new main characters having been both written in and out of the series. In addition, Smallville features guest stars each week, as well as recurring guests that take part in mini story arcs that span a portion of a season. Occasionally, the recurring guest storylines will span multiple seasons. The plot follows a young Clark Kent, in the fictional town of Smallville, Kansas, as he journeys toward becoming Superman; it also follows Lex Luthor`s path to the dark side, and the two`s friendship turned hatred for one another. In addition, Smallville chronicles the relationship between Clark and his first love interest, Lana Lang, as well as his relationship with Lois Lane, the woman he ultimately marries in the comic books. The series also features recurring appearances from other DC Comics Universe characters, such as Arthur Curry and John Jones. With five months devoted to casting for the pilot, Gough and Miller cast ultimately hired eight actors to take on the role of series regulars for the first season. Since then, only two characters from the first season have remained regulars through to the eighth season, with seven new actors taking on lead roles from seasons two through eight. Four of those new actors began as recurring guests in their first seasonal appearance, but were given top billing the following season. As the series progresses, recurring guests appear at various times to help move the overall storyline of the show or just provide a side-story arc for one of the main characters, such as Brainiac or Adam Knight. Other recurring guests appear as background characters, showing up for only a few scenes, which includes characters like Sheriff Nancy Adams or Dr. Virgil Swann. Contents [hide] 1 Main characters 1.1 Clark Kent 1.2 Lex Luthor 1.3 Lana Lang 1.4 Chloe Sullivan 1.5 Pete Ross 1.6 Jonathan Kent 1.7 Martha Kent 1.8 Whitney Fordman 1.9 Lionel Luthor 1.10 Lois Lane 1.11 Jason Teague 1.12 Jimmy Olsen 1.13 Kara 1.14 Oliver Queen 1.15 Tess Mercer 1.16 Davis Bloome 1.17 General Zod 2 Recurring characters 2.1 Sheriff Ethan 2.2 Dr. Helen Bryce 2.3 Dr. Virgil Swann 2.4 Sheriff Nancy Adams 2.5 Jor-El 2.6 Adam Knight 2.7 Brainiac 2.8 John Jones 2.9 Grant Gabriel 3 Other characters 4 References 5 External links [edit] Main characters Unlike most shows, which generally get about four weeks of casting, series developers Al Gough and Miles Millar had five months.[2] In October 2000, the two producers began their search for the three lead roles, and had casting directors in ten different cities.[3] The following is a list of all the characters that are, or at one time were, a main character in the show. During its first season, Smallville had eight regular characters. As of season eight, six characters from the original cast have left the show, with seven new characters coming in over the course of seven seasons. [edit] Clark Kent Further information: Clark Kent (Smallville) Portrayed by Tom Welling, Clark Kent is an alien being with superhuman abilities, which he uses to help others in danger. Clark is adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent in the series pilot, when he crash lands to Earth as a three year-old child. Twelve years later, he tries to find his place in life after being told he is an alien by his adoptive father.[4] For most of the series, Clark spends his time running from his Kryptonian heritage, going as far as leaving Smallville,[5] abandoning a quest his biological father Jor-El sends him on in search of three Kryptonian stones of knowledge,[6] continuing his training at the Fortress of Solitude,[7] and unwittingly unleashing a Kryptonian criminal from the Phantom Zone when he refuses to kill Lex.[8] [edit] Lex Luthor Further information: Lex Luthor (Smallville) Michael Rosenbaum portrays Lex Luthor, the son of billionaire Lionel Luthor, who is sent to Smallville to run the local fertilizer plant. After Clark saves his life the pilot episode, the two become quick friends.[9] Over the course of seven seasons—beginning on the day Clark rescues him from drowning—Lex tries to uncover the secrets that Clark keeps. Lex’s curiosity eventually leads to a blowout between him and Clark in the season three finale. [10] Lex’s investigations ultimately lead to him discovering the truth about Clark’s alien heritage in the season seven finale.[11] [edit] Lana Lang Further information: Lana Lang (Smallville) Portrayed by Kristin Kreuk, Lana Lang is one of Clark Kent’s friends and on-again-off-again girlfriend. In the first season, Lana and Clark’s friendship is just beginning, as she is dating Whitney Fordman during this time.[4] After Whitney leaves for the Marines in the season one finale,[12] Lana and Clark slowly begin to try and start a romantic relationship.[13] In season seven Lana realizes that, even though she loves him, the only way for Clark to help the world to the best of his ability would be if she left Clark, and Smallville for good.[11] [edit] Chloe Sullivan Further information: Chloe Sullivan Allison Mack portrays one of Clark’s best friends, Chloe Sullivan. Editor of the school newspaper, her journalistic curiosity—always wanting to "expose falsehoods" and "know the truth"[14]—causes tension with her friends, especially when she is digging in Clark`s past.[15] She discovers Clark’s secret in the fourth season episode "Pariah".[16] [edit] Pete Ross Sam Jones III plays Pete Ross, another of Clark`s best friends. He hates the Luthors for what he sees as their thievery of his family`s creamed corn business,[5] and is the first person Clark voluntarily informs of his secret.[17] It is established in season three’s "Truth", that Pete is in love with Chloe.[18] He kept this truth to himself because of the Clark-Lana-Chloe love triangle already taking place.[19] In season three’s "Velocity", Pete, feeling alienated by Clark, begins hanging around a group of street racers. When Pete refuses to throw a race his life is put in jeopardy, and he forces Clark to abuse his powers in order to help Pete win a race. This leads to a falling out between the two friends.[20] The character was written out of the series at the end of season three, citing the trouble keeping Clark`s secret was causing him.[21] Pete returns to Smallville in season seven’s "Hero", after gaining superhuman abilities from kryptonite-enhanced chewing gum, which allow him to stretch his body to extreme lengths. Lex learns the truth and blackmails Pete into abusing his powers for Lex’s personal gain. Clark steps in and saves Pete, and the pair mend their relationship before Pete leaves Smallville again.[22] Sam Jones III was the last of the season one series regulars to be cast–being hired just four days before filming for the pilot episode began. Jones, who is African American, was also cast against the Superman mythology where Pete Ross is Caucasian. Jones has stated that he would have understood if the producers had simply created a black character for him to portray, but the fact that they chose to go with him, even though the character has always been white, gave him more honor to be a part of the show. During the first season, Jones felt like he should have more screen time, but later conceded that the show was about Clark’s journey and that the other characters are there to help his story move along.[19] "I know that I told you keeping your secret wasn’t hard. But I lied. I walk around every day afraid that I’m going to slip up." — The stress of knowing Clark’s secret first appears in season two’s "Ryan". This idea became the ultimate story arc for the character in season three, which lead to him leaving Smallville.[23] Jones was not alone in his wish to get more screen time, the writers, who were reading internet forums and receiving mail from the audience that requested the same thing, decided that Pete would learn Clark’s secret in season two. The creative team hoped that knowing Clark’s secret would allow the character to be written into more scenes, and become involved on a daily basis with the Kent family.[24] Ultimately, Pete’s primary story arc in season three became the character’s inability to deal with knowing Clark’s secret, and his growing feeling of abandonment from Clark, who was spending more time with Chloe, Lana and Lex.[23] Millar explains that they felt that the character was being wasted on Smallville, and that lead to the decision of writing the character off the show with the hope that he could come back in future episodes. There was dissension between the cast and crew over Jones’s departure. According to Annette O’Toole (Martha Kent), Clark needs a guy friend in his life, and she feels that the Kents would have taken Pete in when his parents left Smallville.[23] Though Gough does not disagree that writing out Pete Ross was the best thing, he does feel that his exit could have gone better. According to Gough, Pete’s departure felt rushed, and seemed to lack the importance that it should have had.[25] [edit] Jonathan Kent John Schneider’s background portraying Bo Duke on The Dukes of Hazzard lent to him landing the role of Jonathan Kent.[2] Schneider performed the role for five seasons, before his character was killed off in a scene reminiscent of Glenn Ford`s death as Jonathan Kent in Richard Donner`s Superman.[26]John Schneider portrays Jonathan Kent, Martha’s husband and Clark`s adopted father. He goes to great lengths to protect his son`s secret, which includes: almost killing a reporter, in the season two premiere, who was going to expose Clark’s secret to the world,[27] and making a deal to allow Clark’s biological father, Jor-El, to take Clark to fulfill his destiny if Jor-El gave Jonathan the power to bring Clark home—Clark had run away after believing his parents blamed him for Martha’s miscarriage.[28] As a result, season three’s "Hereafter" explains that Jonathan’s heart was strained while he was imbued with all of Clark’s powers.[29] In season five, Jonathan decides to run for a seat in the Kansas Senate against Lex Luthor. In the season five episode "Reckoning", Jonathan wins the senatorial seat, but after a physical altercation with Lionel Luthor, whom he believed was trying to exploit Clark’s abilities, Jonathan suffers a fatal heart attack.[30] Millar and Gough loved the idea of casting John Schneider as Jonathan Kent, as they felt he gave the show a recognizable face from his days as Bo Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard. Gough felt that Schneider’s experience portraying Bo Duke added belief that he could have grown up running a farm.[2] Schneider was initially uninterested, but after reading the pilot script he saw the potential for bringing back "real parenting" to television. Schneider particularly saw his character as a means to replace the "goof" father-figures that had become prevalent on television. He also saw his character as a means to keep the show grounded in reality, specifically by making sure that Jonathan’s life is clearly displayed for the audience, by performing a daily routine on the farm.[31] According to Schneider, Jonathan is "perfectly willing to go to jail, or worse, to protect his son". The actor characterizes Jonathan as fast to lose his temper, which Schneider views as being a development of his protective nature over his family.[31] Schneider believes that the season two episode "Suspect"—where Jonathan is arrested, but his sole concern is protecting Clark’s secret—summarizes the character well, and shows that the "least important person in Jonathan’s life is Jonathan". Schneider admits that occasionally he and Annette O’Toole have to "police" the creative team when it comes to the relationship between Martha, Jonathan, and Clark. According to Schneider, there are moments where they have to make sure that the characters are not taken to a place they would not normally go, specifically where the parents are useless without the "innate intelligence of [their] teenager".[32] Tom Welling feels that the deal Jonathan made with Jor-El at the beginning of season three made Jonathan realize that he will not always be around to protect Clark. Welling believes that it is the repercussions of that deal that allow Jonathan to give Clark more freedom in the choices that he makes during season three. Jonathan realizes that he must help Clark find the confidence in his ability to survive on his own, so that he can leave home one day.[33] One scene that Schneider specifically remembers was at the end of season three`s "Forsaken". Here, Jonathan admits to not trusting his own instincts anymore and allowing Clark to rely on his. This "admission of fallibility", but faith in his son’s ability to make the right choices, is what Schneider sees as the growing of the family dynamic.[34] For season three, Jonathan also has to deal with his emerging heart problems. For Schneider, the "treatments" and "cures" that his character underwent were all for nothing, as the actor believes that Jonathan’s heart attack at the end of "Hereafter" was less of a real heart attack and more of Jor-El trying to get Jonathan’s attention.[34] A heart condition is not new to the character, as it has been used in previous incarnations, like Glenn Ford’s portrayal of Jonathan Kent in Richard Donner’s Superman, as well as the comic books. In contrast to those versions, it was Smallville that tied his heart condition to a deal that he makes with Jor-El. When the moment came for his character to die, Schneider considers the event an "empowering death", which he likens to John Wayne’s character death as Wil Andersen in The Cowboys.[26] [edit] Martha Kent Martha Kent, Clark`s adopted mother, is portrayed by Annette O`Toole. Martha, along with her husband Jonathan, gives Clark sage advice about how to cope with his growing abilities. In season two, Martha becomes pregnant with her first child—in the season two episode "Fever", Clark’s spaceship heals her body and allows her to have children, something she physically could not do when she adopted Clark[35]—but in season two’s finale she suffers a miscarriage after an automobile accident.[5] In order to help the family financially, Martha takes a job as Lionel Luthor’s assistant in season two, but quits her job the same season in the episode "Suspect" for undisclosed reasons.[36] She eventually takes over management duties at the local coffee shop, the Talon, in season four.[6] She continues to manage the Talon into season five until Jonathan dies from a heart attack, which ultimately leads to her taking his state senate seat at the request of the Kansas Governor in season five’s "Tomb".[37] This eventually paves the way to a job in Washington, D.C. in season six`s "Prototype", and the character`s exit from the show.[38] "I have the feeling that she didn`t have a mother growing up—they`ve never introduced a mother for her. That`s why being a mother is so important to her—and being the `picture book` kind of mother at that." — Annette O`Toole on Martha Kent`s parenting.[39] The role of Martha Kent was originally given to Cynthia Ettinger, but during filming everyone, including Ettinger, realized that she was not right for the role.[2] O`Toole was committed to the television series The Huntress when Ettinger was filming her scenes for the pilot. Around the time the creators were looking to recast the role of Martha Kent The Huntress was canceled, which allowed O`Toole the chance to join the cast of Smallville.[39] Coincidentally, the actress had previously portrayed Lana Lang in Superman III.[40] O’Toole thinks that the producers wanted someone older for the role of Martha, and when she came in to talk to the producers everyone appeared to be on the same page with what the character and the show should be about. O’Toole characterizes Martha as really intelligent, but believes the character has to hide her intelligence at times "to keep the peace".[39] Feeling like her character was wasting her college degree O’Toole suggested to the producers that Martha go to work for Lex during the second season. The producers agreed, but altered the concept so that Martha went to work for Lionel, and that she would use this new position to spy on Lionel and find out what he knows about Clark. Disappointed when the storyline ended quickly into the second season, O’Toole hoped that the secret her character was holding in "Ryan" was that Martha was going to run for Mayor. In O’Toole’s opinion, Martha needs some form of outlet for intelligence.[41] To the chagrin of O’Toole, Martha’s next storyline—the expectation of a new child—tied the character to the farm in a way the actress did not agree with. O’Toole wanted to perform as if the pregnancy was fake—something mentally created by Clark’s ship—but the producers insisted that she wear the pregnancy pads to indicate that she was indeed pregnant. Ultimately, that storyline ended with Martha losing the baby to a miscarriage.[41] Before season four began, O’Toole suggested again to the producers that Martha go to work for Lex. O’Toole had enjoyed the moments in the show when she was working for Lionel, because it gave her character something more to do, and she wanted to do that again for season four. The producers took her suggestion and had Martha take a job at the Talon, which was owned by Lex, and which O’Toole felt allowed Martha to interact more with the other characters in Clark’s life.[42] O’Toole relished the opportunity that came with Jonathan’s passing, even though she was saddened to see a friend leave the show. Martha taking the senate seat was a chance to explore more adult stories with her character beginning midway through season five, which was important for the actress since Clark was becoming an adult on the show. It also allowed for O’Toole the chance to depict "strong emotions" over Jonathan’s death. Al Gough feels that Jonathan’s passing allowed for them to explore more of Martha’s smart and strong side, as well as her relationship with Lionel. The idea was to show that there was some form of attraction between Martha and Lionel, but that Martha would never have any romantic relationship with the billionaire, especially after all that he had done to her family.[43] O’Toole likens Martha’s interest in Lionel with that of watching a dangerous animal: "It’s that attraction you have for a very beautiful, dangerous animal. You know you can’t stop watching it, but at the same time you feel, `Oh my God, he’s going to kill me.`" The actress believes that Martha’s ultimate motivation was to get close enough to Lionel to know what he is planning to do to Clark. When it came time for Martha to leave the show, writer Todd Slavkin contends that they wanted to give the character "more of a send-off" than they achieved on film. Slavkin explains that they could not do anything equivalent to what they gave John Schneider, as there were already so many storylines going on by the season six finale that they could not fit anything else in. The writers also realized that they could not kill off the character, and so chose to send her to the US Senate, creating a parallel to Clark where Martha fights injustice on the political stage.[44] [edit] Whitney Fordman Eric Johnson appears as Whitney Fordman, Lana`s boyfriend, in season one. He becomes jealous of Clark and Lana`s budding friendship, going so far as to haze Clark in the series pilot.[4] Whitney is forced to run the family business when his father is stricken with a heart disease in the episode "Shimmer".[45] He ultimately loses his football scholarship, and in the episode "Kinetic" he starts ignoring Lana, and begins hanging around with past high school football stars, who recruit him for their illegal endeavors.[46] He eventually reconciles with Clark and Lana before joining the Marines in the season one finale and leaving the show.[12] Whitney has made a guest appearance in the season two episode "Visage", where it is revealed he died in combat overseas,[47] and the season four episode "Façade", during a flashback of Clark`s freshman year.[48] Eric Johnson auditioned for the roles of Lex and Clark, before finally being cast as Whitney Fordman. When the producers called him in for a third audition, Johnson informed them that if they wanted him then they would bring him in for a screen-test. After the screen-test, Johnson was cast and spent only one day filming his scenes for the pilot.[49] The producers, along with Johnson, wanted to portray Whitney as more than just the "stereotypical jock" that he could have easily become, in an effort to make sure Lana did not look stupid for going out with him. Whitney was given multiple storylines in season one in an effort to get audiences to view the character in a more pleasant light,[49] but Kristin Kreuk feels that it was all for naught, as the audience only sees him through Clark`s eyes.[50] Johnson realized after reading the script for the pilot episode that his character was not going to be around for the entirety of the series. This became even clearer when his character’s storylines began to develop quickly. While filming "Obscura", Johnson was informed that his character would not be returning as a series regular for season two. Initially fearing that he had made some mistake and that they were going to kill his character off, Johnson learned that Whitney would be enlisting into the Marines.[49] The actor has expressed his pleasure in the way the writers handled Whitney`s departure, by giving the character the exit of a hero.[51] [edit] Lionel Luthor Further information: Lionel Luthor John Glover portrays Lex’s father, Lionel Luthor. Lionel initially sends his son to Smallville to run the local fertilizer plant, as a test.[4] When Lex succeeds in making a profit for the first time in years, Lionel closes the plant down completely and blames it on Lex’s poor managerial skills.[12] As the series progresses, Lionel becomes interested in the Kawatche caves, which have Kryptonian symbols painted on their walls; his interests also extend to the secrets Clark keeps.[52] After being possessed by Jor-El in the season five episode "Hidden",[53] Lionel begins assisting Clark in keeping his secret hidden from Lex.[54] In season seven, Lionel is murdered by Lex, who realizes that his father has been covering up the truth about an alien visitor.[55] [edit] Lois Lane Further information: Lois Lane (Smallville) Erica Durance first appears in season four as Chloe’s cousin, Lois Lane. Lois comes to Smallville investigating the supposed death of Chloe, staying with the Kents while she is in town.[6] In season five’s "Fanatic", Lois takes a job as Jonathan`s Chief of Staff when he runs for state senate;[56] she continues these duties when Martha takes Jonathan’s place following his death.[8] After some reservation, Lois decides that she is interested in journalism and takes a job at a tabloid newspaper called The Inquisitor.[57] This eventually lands her a position at the Daily Planet.[58] [edit] Jason Teague Jensen Ackles appears in season four as Jason Teague, a love interest for Lana. The pair meet in Paris, while Lana is studying abroad. When she leaves unexpectedly in the season four episode "Gone", Jason follows Lana back to Smallville and takes a position as the school`s assistant football coach.[59] In season four’s "Transference", Jason is fired from the school when his relationship with Lana comes to light.[60] By the end of the fourth season, it is revealed that he has been working with his mother Genevieve (Jane Seymour) to locate the three stones of knowledge — three Kryptonian stones that when united form a single crystal that creates Clark’s Fortress of Solitude. The Teagues kidnap Lex and Lionel in an effort to discover the location of one of the stones in the episode "Forever", with Lionel claiming that Lana has one of the stones.[61] In the season four finale, Genevieve confronts Lana, and the two women get into a struggle with Genevieve dying by Lana’s hand. Jason, who believes that the secret of the stones lies with Clark, heads to the Kent farm where he holds Jonathan and Martha hostage. He is killed during the second meteor shower, when a meteor falls through the Kent home and lands on him.[62] The creation of Jason Teague was something handed down by the network, who wanted Lana to have a new boyfriend—one who was "different from Clark". Gough and Millar were apprehensive because they were already introducing Lois Lane into the series, and introducing two new characters would be difficult. The pair thought about where the relationship between Clark and Lana had left off at the end of season three, and they realized that Clark had turned his back on Lana. Gough and Millar began to like the idea of bringing in a new character, one that would create a new love triangle; eventually they tied him into the larger storyline involving the three Kryptonian stones of knowledge.[63] According to writer Brian Peterson, where Clark brings "angst" and "depth" to his relationship with Lana, Jason is designed to bring "joy", "levity", and "fun".[63] On the topic of Jason’s relationship with Lana, Ackles believes the character did love Lana, because he saw an innocence in her that had not been able to experience growing up in the upper class society; Jason grew up having to question the actions of his mother, and with Lana he had the opportunity to experience an honest relationship.[64] Ackles was Gough and Millar’s first choice to place Jason Teague, as the actor had been the runner up for the role of Clark Kent when they were casting for the pilot.[63] Ackles was contracted to remain through season five, but was written out of the show in the season four finale, which, according to Ackles, was due to his commitments to the WB’s new series Supernatural.[65] Gough contends that Supernatural did not alter any of their plans, and that Jason Teague was intended to be a single season character.[63] [edit] Jimmy Olsen Aaron Ashmore, whose identical twin has also appeared on the show, joined the cast as a recurring guest in season six. When he returned in season seven his character had been moved up to series regular status.Jimmy Olsen is first mentioned in season four as the person Chloe lost her virginity to while interning at the Daily Planet.[66] He makes his official appearance, portrayed by Aaron Ashmore, in the season six opener.[67] Working as a photographer for the Daily Planet, Jimmy rekindles his relationship with Chloe in the season six episode "Wither".[68] In the episode "Hydro", Jimmy works with Lois to uncover the true identity of Green Arrow,[69] and in season seven, when Lois is hired by the Daily Planet, the pair work together on finding stories for the paper.[70] In the season seven episode "Sleeper", Jimmy falls into Lex’s debt when Lex, at Jimmy’s request, keeps Chloe from being arrested by the Department of Domestic Security for hacking into their government files.[71] In the season seven finale, Lex goes back on his word and has Chloe arrested, just as Jimmy proposes marriage.[11] After being saved by Oliver Queen and Clark in the season eight premiere, Chloe is reunited with Jimmy and accepts his marriage proposal.[72] In "Committed", a deranged jeweler kidnaps Jimmy and Chloe after their engagement party and subjects them to a torturous test to see if they truly love each other—they both pass and are allowed to return to their normal lives.[73] In the season eight episode "Identity", Jimmy begins to suspect that Clark is the "Good Samaritan", an individual who has been stopping crimes and saving people’s lives around Metropolis, until Oliver Queen dresses up as the "Good Samaritan" to help Clark trick Jimmy into believing he was mistaken.[74] In the eighth season episode "Bride", Jimmy and Chloe are officially married, but Doomsday crashes their wedding and kidnaps Chloe, leaving Jimmy in the hospital because of injuries sustained from Doomsday.[75] In "Turbulence", Jimmy witnesses Davis Bloome murdering someone, but when he tries to warn people Davis drugs him and makes it appear as though he is hallucinating. Eventually, Jimmy ends his marriage to Chloe after getting fed up with her always taking Davis`s side.[76] In the season eight finale, Davis murders Jimmy after learning that Chloe is still in love with her ex-husband, and was never in love with him.[77] Ashmore indicates that his casting was both a surprise and what he wanted. The actor states, "I auditioned for [the role] and I put myself on tape. I hadn`t heard anything, and a couple of weeks later, all of the sudden, I got the call saying, `You`re going to Vancouver to start shooting Smallville.` It`s a dream come true, really."[78] Aaron Ashmore’s identical twin, Shawn, who is better known as Bobby "Iceman" Drake in the X-Men film series, appeared in two episodes of Smallville as the power leeching Eric Summers.[79] After three seasons with the show, two as a series regular, Ashmore was written out of the series. According to Ashmore, when the producers were first trying to get permission to use the character on Smallville, DC Comics had qualms over how close Jimmy was in age to Clark and Lois, as the character was supposed to be at least ten years younger. The producers guaranteed the department that they would eventually reveal that the Jimmy Olsen who had been appearing on the show was not the Jimmy Olsen who would one day work alongside Clark and Lois.[80] To help this along, it is revealed at the character`s funeral that his name is "Henry James Olsen",[77] and it is alluded that Jimmy`s younger brother, who is given a brief appearance at Jimmy`s funeral, is the real Jimmy Olsen. Although Ashmore is sad to be leaving the show, he feels that the redemptive story that was given to Jimmy in the finale, through the self sacrifice he makes for Chloe, makes for a good send off for his character.[80] [edit] Kara Laura Vandervoort joined the cast of Smallville in season seven as Clark`s biological cousin Kara, but was written out of the series in the season seven finale.Laura Vandervoort joined the cast in season seven as Kara, Clark`s Kryptonian cousin. She arrived on Earth at the same time as Clark, with the mission to protect her cousin, but was stuck in suspended animation for eighteen years.[81] In the season seven premiere, Kara is released from suspended animation and saves Lex from drowning. A brief glimpse of Kara flying into the sky results in Lex’s new obsession with finding the "angel" that saved his life.[82] Kara eventually finds Clark, in the episode "Kara", who informs her that Krypton was destroyed when the two of them were sent to Earth, and everyone there is dead.[58] Clark teaches Kara to control some of her abilities, and at the same time blend into society.[83] In season seven’s "Lara", Kara is captured by the Department of Domestic Security and tortured, where she relives one of her early memories of visiting Earth with Clark’s mother, Lara. She realizes that her perceptions of her father were wrong and that he was as evil as Clark said.[84] Kara and Clark work together to fight her father, Zor-El, who was unwittingly released when Clark attempted to create a clone of his biological mother in the episode "Blue". When Zor-El is destroyed at the end of the battle, Kara disappears from the Fortress of Solitude. She awakens in Detroit with amnesia and none of her abilities.[85] In the episode "Fracture", Kara is discovered and brought home by Lex, who wants to exploit her amnesia to his benefit, with the intent of discovering the truth about Clark.[86] In season seven’s "Traveler", Chloe convinces Jor-El to return Kara’s memory and powers before Lex can learn her and Clark’s secret.[87] When Lana is placed in a catatonic state by Brainiac in the episode "Veritas", Kara agrees to cooperate with him in the hope that he will not kill Lana.[70] In "Apocalypse", Kara is taken through time to Krypton, just before it explodes, so that Brainiac can kill the infant Clark. With Jor-El’s help, Clark manages to arrive on Krypton and stop Brainiac.[88] Unknown to Clark, Brainiac is not killed in their fight on Krypton, and he manages to place Kara in the Phantom Zone, while he assumes her identity back on Earth.[11] In the season eight episode "Bloodline", Clark is transported to the Phantom Zone, where he finds Kara. Working together they escape, and Kara leaves Earth to search for Kandor, a city rumored to hold surviving citizens of Krypton.[89] Vandervoort does not return as a series regular for the eighth season, but returns as a guest star in the season eight episode "Bloodline".[90] [edit] Oliver Queen Further information: Justice League (Smallville) Justin Hartley portrays Oliver Queen, a billionaire who left Star City to live in Metropolis. While in Metropolis, Oliver masquerading at night as a costumed vigilante, named "Green Arrow" by Lois.[91] Oliver leaves Metropolis in season six, after destroying one of Lex’s secret 33.1 facilities, where Lex experiments on meteor-infected individuals against their will,[92] but he returns in season eight to search for Lex, who is missing, and reveals a plan to Oliver rescues Clark in the season eight opener, after the latter goes missing when his Fortress of Solitude is destroyed.[75] Hartley was a recurring guest in the sixth and seventh seasons, but became a series regular in season eight.[93] [edit] Tess Mercer Cassidy Freeman portrays Tess Mercer, the acting CEO of LuthorCorp, who was picked by Lex to run the company should something ever happen to him. Tess Mercer`s primary goal in season eight is finding Lex, which draws her inquisitively to Clark, whom she believes will be able to help her find Lex.[94] Tess’s first contact with Clark is when he pulls her from a wrecked city bus in the season eight episode "Plastique"; she immediately suspects that Clark is not telling her all that he knows about Lex’s disappearance. That same episode reveals that Tess is bringing together a group of meteor-infected individuals, and in "Plastique" she recruits Bette, a young girl with the power to create combustion on command.[95] In the episode "Prey", Tess enlists a young man who can turn himself into a shadow.[96] In "Toxic", it is revealed that Tess had a brief romantic relationship with Oliver Queen after she saved his life while he was stranded on an island.[97] In the season eight episodes "Instinct" and "Bloodline", Tess learns about Krypton and the name "Kal-El", though she does not attribute any of the information directly to Clark.[98][89] In "Bulletproof", it is revealed that Tess knows where Lex is. Here, Lana informs Tess that Lex surgically implanted a nano-transmitter into Tess’s optic nerve so that he could keep an eye on everything she is doing. Visibly upset by this, Tess places a jamming device into her necklace to disrupt the signal, but not before telling Lex that she will cut him off from the outside world and sell off everything that he owns.[99] In the episode "Requiem", it is revealed that Tess sold controlling interest in LuthorCorp to Queen Industries.[100] In "Turbulence", Tess tries to get Clark to reveal his powers after she read one of Lionel Luthor`s journals that identified Clark as "The Traveler", but her effort failed.[76] In the episode "Eternal", it is shown that Tess has the Kryptonian orb that brought down the Fortress of Solitude,[101] and in "Injustice" a disembodied voice emanates from the orb revealing that Tess`s recent actions to get Clark to reveal his powers and kill Doomsday are because the voice was instructing her to do so.[102] In the season eight finale, the orb activates itself and transports General Zod to Smallville.[77] The name "Tess Mercer" is a homage to two characters from Superman lore, Eve Teschmacher and Mercy Graves.[103] As Freeman describes her character, Tess Mercer is Lex`s handpicked successor; she is "fierce", "fun" and intelligent. |
