It's not Martha and Jonathan, is it?

Just kidding . And since we can spoil and speculate on this thread, I'll go out on a limb here and guess it might... just... possibly be...Lana and Whitney? See, that's perfectly safe, because no one except me thinks that they actually belong together . But I don't stay sad for long, so I'll join the Happy Dance, just 'cause bunniefuu's happy!

Oh, is this a good time to remind people that in some versions of Superman, Lana and Pete end up married? Maybe we'll see the beginnings of a romance between them now...
(Ouch! I think people just stuck pins in little klulu dolls over that one! )

Wow. I think I need to go re-rent the movies. I thought Lana and Pete were fictional characters the show made up. All I can remember is Clark, Louis and Lex from the series. My bad. Now I'm intrigued as to what exactly you are referring to and did the characters look the same? Age? Relationships to Clark?

Oh and sorry about the double posts.. I have to keep them short or I get to when the phone rings and knocks me off at night time. Well that and I'm working on getting to 2000.

Boy am I ever lost now... Just how many versions are there? I thought there was only the one movie with sequels.

And thank you for the insight.. I'm so sorry I haven't been in here for awhile, I'm just really busy trying to get the music forum up and running ASAP.

well, the movies are one version and the comics are a few versions and the cartoons and previous shows could be considered versions too. Now the comics being many versions may sound weird but its true. Yeoman Prince mentioned them but I had only heard of 2 before, there was Pre-Crisis and that was when Lana and Clark dated, but then there is Post-Crisis where they were just friends. The Crisis (which spilts the two apart) was when DC Comics totally redid the Superman story by having some kind of catastrophe occur, I'm not exactly sure what it was because I have never even read a comic, this is all coming from the www.supermanhomepage.com and some very knowledgeable people on comic forums.

CCC~ Don't forget to add to that, that Mr. A has told us that in that episode Lana & Whitney break up.

bun--I asked "Clark Kent" at the Torch forums why he doesn't credit you, and he swears up one side and down the other that he's getting the script pages from another source--but it is awfully dodgy that the scenes he's posting there just happen to be the *exact* same ones you've gotten from Mr. A. Is it possible that Mr. A is ALSO sending them to him? Can you ask Mr. A?

. I know for a fact that Mr. A feels the same exact way I do and always sends them right out to me and doesn't ask for any thanks in return. I used to post them without anyone even acknowledging them. We have nothing against sharing whatsoever.

I don't want anyone to leave, but I'm prepared for the inevitable. Of course, it can't be Lex. If Lex left Smallville, I doubt that the show would survive. The Clark&Lex friendship is the whole point of the show - the thing that sets it apart.

Lionel's my favorite character, but he's not technically a regular, so I'm thinking that when they say a "main character," they're more likely referring to Whitney. Not that I want to see him leave, either. Without Whitney, there's only the Clark/Lana/Chloe triangle, and that kind of thing gets played out all the time on other shows. So I'd really rather have Whitney stick around. 'Sides, EJ is both gorgeous and talented, and the show ought to make better use of him.

On the other hand, I love Lionel to pieces, and I think he's much too important to Lex's storyline and his descent into evil. And the family relationships are what I watch the show for. So I'd be seriously disappointed if the writers got rid of him too soon.

So I'm just hoping the spoilers are wrong, and that no one's leaving. (I know, I know, I live in the clouds .) But given the wholesale slaughter of my favorite characters on other shows lately, I've grown resigned to this kind of thing.

Edited to add:
BTW - In Al Gough's interview, he does say that after the season finale, Lex and his father will be "more diametrically opposed" than before - so I'm really hoping that means Lionel will still be around. I don't like to be sad for long .

I've heard that it is Whitney who leaves next year

IsabelKent~ ITA. I think it's too early to be killing off anyone in the show, IMO. But hey, it could leave doors open for him to reappear.

BTW~ Welcome to the board!
