Clark and Chloe are open about his secret. Ok that's cool.. Is she doomed?!

[UDStyle]

I got a feeling she isn't, but we can't forget that everyone who has found out about Clark's secret either died or has disappeared. I never thought they would do anything to Pete once he was enlightened, but I was wrong. Pete also had a one up on Chloe Sullivan being that he was a character from the Superman/Superboy comics (where he even marries Lana and eventually becomes President). And some of the short term characters, some of whom were better then the average FOTW (i.e. Alicia and Ryan), got pushed off the show a little prematurely concerning their character's potential.

Now that it's out in the air for both, is it only a matter of time?

[Forever Zero]

she is probably a goner by the end of the season

[MsSullivan]

nope, Chloe is way to important in SV to die.

[UDStyle]

^^ I hope you are right, but that's the same thing I thought about Pete.

[SuperStupidPower]

DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!! (unfortunately :( )

[chlarklove]

Ugh not another "OMG CHLOE IS SOOOO GONNA DIE!!!11" thread. :p

Seriously guys, she's contracted through the 7th season, if there is a 7th season. So things could get pretty sticky if they decide to off her this season or next, cause then it'd be kinda pointless to have paid extra money (usually when there's contract extensions, there's also bonuses involved) and sign her for more... just to off her?

They re-negotiated in season 3, which is why Sam was written off at the end of that season... his contract was up, and they didn't want to re-sign him.

Plus? Allison is the ONLY one who can do the expositional dialogue, TPTB have admitted that, so they'd never get rid of that.

And Chloe is the only one Clark can confide in besides his parents. I highly doubt that Lana will ever find out, if she does, it won't be til the very end of the series.

Also, let's not forget, they already killed her once. So if they wanted Chloe dead, that was the time.

Its different from Pete because Chloe does the exposition on the show.

I know many people would stop watching if Chloe died (including me :) )

[UDStyle]

contracted thru the 7th season huh. That's news to me.

[superhippie2000]

well pete is a vcharacter from the superman comics and stuff chloe was just made up to be like a high school version of the daily planet version of lois lane. i think by the end of the series chloe might die but maybe not this season. she is going to be a big part of this season since her and clark team up. pete didnt really have anything to do with helping clark as much as using his powers he just basically kept it a secrete

[supergurl88]

i agree, i think chloe is done at the end of the season....i just can
see her keeping the secret, think about it...she was scooping on clark for loniel before her knew about the secret....if it was to save her family from going under or not...she should be gone.

Allison better stay cause like ms sullivan im outta here if they off her.

Um...you rock. 'Cause that couldn't be anymore true. Especially the last part.

[gtjsasso-el]

Chloe is way too important for them to off her. Plus it will be refreshing for someone to know about his powers other than his parents. That is such a better alternative than him sulking in his loft, then Lana arrives and he lies to her, then she leaves. I'd rather he have someone to actually confide in. Plus Chloe dying would just about ruin the show.

[Danelle]

Chloe was doomed from the get-go, in my opinion. I love her character, but she has nothing to do with Superman in Metropolis, etc....and let's just say that she DIDN'T die. She'd obviously land a job at the Daily Planet, seeing as she's such a good reporter...how awkward would that be once the REAL Lois/Clark relationship starts up? No, IMO, Chloe Sullivan dies in Smallville's last season. :( There's just no place for her beyond the realm of Smallville.

look its not that clark was in love with lana or that he wasn't in love with her im sure that must have hurt her too but thats not it. it was that clark had absolutely no regard for her feelings at that time. when you're best friend likes you and you know that you hvae to let her down easy and talk to her about it. But he didnt he just made out with lana and lied about it. and of course there was the whole bad timing of the jor-el coming back and being like leave bah! those together made her feel like he didnt care about her friendship or her personally at all. so she thought fine let me do something good for myself for one this could be a huge step to my dreams and if clark doesnt care for me then f**k him. Ill do my own thing.

The proof that this was the catalyst and rather the explanation that chloe is a cold and heartless biatch is the way she reacts before the grand lie of clark.

----
Lionel: Nurturing a promising young talent is a reward in itself. And I've, uh, I've got your first assignment. [He sits on the desk, next to her.] A complete investigative profile of Clark Kent.

Chloe: What possible interest could the Daily Planet have in a farm boy from Smallville?

Lionel: This isn't for the Daily Planet. I'm sure they'll be in touch with you. No, this is for me. Just, uh, combine it with, uh, any research about his family you already have.

Chloe stands up.

Chloe: Wow. I blew off my journalistic skepticism and allowed myself to actually believe that you were interested in just helping me.

Lionel: You're playing in the real world now, Miss Sullivan. You have to give to get.

Chloe: Mr. Luthor. I don't know what your interest is in Clark, but you can take the job offer and shove it down your thousand dollar pants.

Lionel: Clark's very lucky to have a friend like you. All that integrity. I-I wonder, though, if he had to make a choice, would he sacrifice his dream out of loyalty to you?
---

and it is the question that chloe has no answer for that starts everything. she sees that he doesnt and so well we know the rest.

but if you understand why you'll see chloe for who she really is.

now shes older and certainly wiser about the chlark realtionship. she knows how to deal with him and lana and anyone else that comes down the road clark is just so important to her that she would never do it again. she didnt understand how big it was to sell out clark. now she does. it could kill him no matter what you say she would never ever do that. She would never pull the trigger on clark or anyone for that matter.

Goobs

[superman_115]

Honestly, if they get rid of Chloe in Smallville I honestly would see the show going with her.

She is to important for the show and everyone adores her.

Why would you get rid of one person who imo is way better than Lana and written better to boot.

She isn't doomed, and she isn't a freak of the week for a start.

If she would have died, the End of Season 3 would have been the last of her but from what I read a while back, everyone loved her so much they decided to keep her.

And yes, they are contracted for 7 years. All of them are. So those are hopes and I don't see anything happening to her.

[Praxis]

I know one person already who stopped watching Smallville when Chloe "died" in the Season 4 finale. He was surprised to find out she didn't.

Chloe is way too important a character. If she dies, she dies in the last episode(s) of Smallville, but I really hope she does not :(

[GhostRider]

OK, let’s clear up some misconceptions. AM is under contract for three more years including this season. However, like most supporting roles, that locks her in but not TPTB, they can write her off at will. Such are the realities in the television industry.

Now the initial plan was to kill Chloe off but that was scrapped awhile back because she became a fan favorite and worked well with the storylines. AM said last season that she and the writers had to come up with fate for Chloe that explains her absence in the post-Superman story so it’s likely that they already know what will eventually happen to her.

Just because she knows the secret doesn’t mean she’s doomed to leave or die. They didn’t write off Pete because he knew the secret, they wrote him off because they didn’t know what to do with him. That’s why they let him in on the secret to begin with, giving him something to do. And they’ve said that they already regret killing Alicia off.

I don’t know what Chloe’s ultimate fate will be but I’m sure she’ll be around until near the end of the series. She could die or go succumb to the insanity that her mother suffers from. Or she could simply leave Metropolis for another city and leave Clark’s life. Either way you can rest assured she at least be around until the end.

[Aloof]

She'll be getting a lot of questions from Lex, that's for sure. Lex knows more than Chloe is telling him.

Wait, there are going to be 7 seasons?

A very important point.

[zagen]

chloe has only a couple of choices:

1. be killed, and that will bring clark and lois together and will be the beginning of superman

2. marry another character, like for instance Batman and become a great friend for the both of them.

i kinda like chloe so i wish her all the best aslong as she wont be working with lois & clark at the daily planet.

if im realistic id say that chloe will be killed, because it would be the ultimate way for a person like lex to make clark suffer and it would bring lois and clark together. and its chloe's dream to work at the daily planet so she wont just not go to work there. (unless they give her character a spin offcourse..)

[SmallvilleFan-FL]

Just... give me some Chlarky Goodness, dagnabbit!

I'm so sick of the whole Clark and Lana thing. Chloe is the best thing for the guy. The "comics" say he has to get with Lana...

But...

The writers are rewriting DC History with a vengance. I personally can't wait for the final, gratifying...

"God, Chloe... I don't know why it took me so long to see that what I truly need to be happy has been staring me in the face for years... You..."

*insert happy tearjerking here* :)

Chlarky Goodness forever! :)

[MeLoveYouLongTime]

I love Chloe-Love her.But sometimes I wish they'd just end her misery,and while they're at it hopefully they could get rid of Lana too and just fast forward to Lois and Clark-the PLANET years.

[MartaDolo]

Chloe may very well die, but it won't be until the series ends for good. She won't die before that. Pete's not an adequate measuring stick, his character was never used very much and TPTB never made much effort to involve him in the show's big storylines.

Chloe, on the other hand, grows more and more important each season. She's been heavily involved with Clark, with the Luthors, etc. Pete learned Clark's secret over the course of one episode. Chloe learned his secret over the course of, what 10 episodes? From Pariah to Arrival. Chloe's received a lot more development with this storyline than Pete ever did.

So no, I don't think Chloe's in danger of being killed or shipped off to Wichita just yet. I also think there are other possibilities for her. She could write for the NY Times instead of the DP, or move on to some other area of journalism. She could even just end up at the DP, like she's always wanted. Chloe never existed in the DC universe, but that didn't keep TPTB from creating her for this show. Smallville's it's own universe.

[tornoofo17]

She'd better turn psycho and get institutionalized at some point. It could be like something she tries to hide during the 7th season until it's too late and Clark can't do anything about it.

[smoky]

Who's to say the public has met EVERYONE in Clark's/Superman's life? Maybe Chloe changed her name for some reason. This is also Al/Miles version of Clark Kent.

Yeah, but we already saw that show several years ago. It lasted for a few seasons, too, BTW. :)

[Chesay]

Chloe is pure gold and, hopefully, won't meet the fate others have who have found out Clark's secret. There are so many things that can be done with Chloe's character since she has no restrictive past comic associations. The writers seem enamored of Lana as a character to write for, but they need to look more closely at Chloe. Allison Mack has made her more than a fictional character and such talent should be rewarded. Hopefully it will be. It is too easy to kill off characters for shock value. Actually it has happened so much that the "shock" isn't what it once was and it should be eliminated in favor of other alternatives. Chloe should be with the show until the bitter end like the main three.

Couldn´t have said it better myself!
In fact, there shouldn´t even be the ´big three´, there should be the ´big four´ instead!

[smoky]

Did anything ever happen to Martha because she knew Clark's secret?

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

I've felt ever since Chloe found out about Clark's secret that she would end up dying protecting that secret.

I've seen shows that have killed of very popular characters, so anything is possible, this is SV we're talking about ;)

[mobiusklein]

Clark doesn't deserve that kind of sacrifice since he'll probably forget she died the next week.

[kryptonite-proof]

I think someone hit the nail on the head in defining the difference between the Pete situation and the current Chloe situation.

The writers/producers struggled to make Pete a worthwhile part of the story. In fact, a large part of the reason they decided to bring him in on the secret was to give him a unique role; Clark's confidant. During seasons 2 and 3 that was essentially all Pete was. Don't get me wrong, I liked Pete, but that doesn't change the fact that he was not an integral part of the story.

Chloe, on the otherhand, is vital to the story. Not only is she a friend, like Pete, but she is also crucial for expositional purposes, being in the position to deliver lines and facts that no other character is. The writers essentially use her as a tool for getting Clark from the realization that there is something amiss in Smallville to the understanding of how to make things right.

I simply don't see at this point, how they could get rid of her.

[Crisis Superman]

It's too messy if she continues on into the future, being a reporter at the Daily Planet etc...with Clark and Lois. She was designed as a composite character of the classic Lana Lang with Lois Lane, both of them fused together. Now, that Lois is part of the cast, and Clark is with Lana, Chloe just seems unncessary (no more need for "the other girl"). It'd really be a waste of time to give her her own stories and adventures at Met U, while Clark is still in Smallville......she needs to be elimintated, her time has come.

On the brightside, Chloe's death may inspire Lois to finally go into journalism, to continue Chloe's legacy, or maybe that was Chloe's wish for her.

It may also make Clark more responsible with his powers, not reckless and emotionally driven. He uses them more carefully and becomes more aware of keeping his identity a secret.

[wickedgirl23]

you guys need to read the Chloe = Lois thread in theories and speculation. It gives lots of reasons why Chloe is crucial charactor and even how she could be a part of the superman legacy.

Of course it will be in that NEXT MOMENT after the realization that Chloe sees Lex's nefarious Krypto-Death ray is trained on Clark and she throws herself in front of it to save him.

I've read it and I really don't believe it will happen. I love the character of Chloe and she is crucial to the smallville story but so are the other characters. I feel she will decide to move away in the end cuz she will realize taht Clark will never love her so she leaves to start a new life.

[wickedgirl23]

very possible Superwannabuffy

I guess my point is that Chloe is not doomed because she knows his secret.

[kryptonite-proof]

Chloe may (emphasis on may) die before the end of the series as a sort of explanation as to why she doesn't exist in the future stories at the Daily Planet. But I strongly disagree that Chloe's role is meaningless, though I do agree that Clark and Lana being together changes the dynamic.

If she dies in Smallville, I think it would be somewhere down the line, probably in the last season. I can not picture it occurring this season, especially in the first half.

[luthorcorp]

yes i think Chloe will be the next one out either to die or to leave smallville
everyone says it will be Lionel but i disagree

i like Chloe so it will be bad news for her to go but its out of our control:(
like all the other broken plots and forgotten people

[cloisisveritas]

I def. think that Chloe will die it's just a matter of when, depending how many more seasons there will be. I don't see them killing her off this year if it's not the final season, but I think that her death is going to really motivate Clark into becoming Superman,although he does have a habit of short periods of mourning so maybe not... I would hate to see Chloe go she is one of my favorite characters.

[MBCorp]

I think Chloe will be brutally murdered by Lex.

[Incus]

I would have liked a little more discussion about Chloe knowing about Clarks powers. It would have been nice to have mentioned Alicia. This just makes their bond grow deeper... perhaps we may see the chloe-lana-clark triangle resurface... which I wouldn't mind seeing

[~*Lois & Clark Fan*~]

Chloe is an important character on Smallville, but in the Superman universe she doesn't exist and I think that can work against her.

I remember reading that in one of the recent SV magazines Allison herself said we'll find out why Chloe isn't a part of the Daily Planet in the future. So the way I see it Chloe's future is an open book for TPTB to do with what they want :\

[last man of krypton]

As soon as Chloe said "your secret will never, ever leave my lips", I thought "yep, she'll be dead soon". Which I'd hate to see, the character's really grown on me.
Here's a crazy idea: Lex already suspects there's an alien around Smallville and knows that Clark knows more than he's letting on, as well as Chloe. Could Lex eventually think Chloe is the alien, and to test his theory he accidentally kills her?
(The idea may have already been posted, but I can't be bothered to wade through a few thousand threads to check :) )

[ClarksGirl21]

i hope not, i love chloe's character :( .. that would be really sad and also take away from the show.

An interesting idea. I wouldn't want Chloe to die too. Maybe, during her brief stint in DP, she went under the witness protection program after supplying evidence against some other crime lord and was never heard of again or like someone speculated, she might have ended a room in Bellerev (sp?) after... I don't know, what Lex may have in store for her.

[chrismen]

Yes Chloe is doomed. She is not part of the Superman world which is too bad because I love Chloe. I am sure they will get rid of her one day. Maybe not even this season but they have to do something about her especially now that she knows.

:rotfl: Ooh ooh! The episode could be called Torture. It would be one of the those titles that actually represents two things happening in the episode. The torture inside chloe about possibly betraying Clark's secret and the real physical torture that Lex has initatiated to "prove" chloe is an alien.

Her knowing Clark's secret will probably work for a season or TWO if they're lucky and milk it, but she really isn't an important character. Eventually all of her dynamic will be picked up by Lois and she'll be pretty useless. She's already heading down that path.

I mean, who would want to tune to the show to see about Chloe's love life unless it was with Clark, and that option has been exhausted. Or Lex, who she shares no chemistry with. A Lana relationship wasn't even well recieved and she is an important part of Clark's love life.

Face it, Chloe's days are numbered.

Yeah, I have to agree with this. Chloe isn't one of the main three and she's not a part of Superman mythology, so I can see them easily killing her off, especially with Lois there to take her place in the grand scheme of things.

[xrayvision]

The main thing is that Lois does not belong on this show. This is all about his life before Metropolis. Unfortunately, I doubt they will get rid of Lois now. But she shouldn't be a part of this show.

As far as mythology, they have strayed from that so much that I wouldn't think it would stop them from doing something new. Jeph Loeb has left so who knows how much more they will stray now. I know Chloe will most likely be killed off, but I hope this doesn't happen until the end of the show. The bad thing is that they may make this as one of the reasons he becomes Superman, which would really cheapen everything.

I did hear one of the promos where it sounded like Lionel telling Clark that someone close to him would exchange their life for his. This could be Chloe, Jonathan, or Lionel and the real bad thing is that all these characters add value to the show (unlike some who I won't mention).

[Liriel]

They kill Chloe - I stop watching. If they wait until the last half-dozen eps of the series I might keep watching. I know she's not essential to the mythology, but she's my favorite character of the show by far.

[wickedgirl23]

I agree with you Liriel

[UDStyle]

It is true that Chloe is not apart of the Superman mythology, which would make her seem more expendible to the story. That's not the case though. Pete is apart of the Superman story line, and they cut that dude out like *snap* that. What is expendible on Smallville begins and ends with Smallville. The Superman comics and mythology holds a lot less weight in the show then one might've thought. My conclusion is that it is very unlikely that they will kill her because she is important to the shjow itself. She is the nexus between characters at times and I don't think the story can keep up without her (unless a drastic replacement is made, which would be a gamble all itself.), but it can happen.

[Ultron]

Wasn't Sam Jones being nabbed for other movies, as the reason why he left? I've seen him everywhere since then, in a couple movies, a CSI episode, etc. I don't pay attention to contact stuff. I just know Sam's been in a lot of stuff recently. :)

I also agree that killing Chloe would be a big strike against the show, and it would probably lose some viewers. How many, I couldn't say, but I don't think they want to mess with a ratings drop if they can afford to.

[ms.c.]

They CANNOT kill Chloe. She is the heart of the show. They would definitely lose viewers.

[GhostRider]

Chloe does have a large fanbase and provides many functions on the show so I doubt they’ll write her off. However to say she is the heart of the show is going overboard. The super powered alien who becomes the world’s greatest superhero is the heart of the show.

I know you are specifically speaking about Chloe and romance but viewers turn in to see Chloe period. That's why they gave her the spinoff in the Chloe Chronicles. And the Chloe Chronicles was so well received they made a second addition. Chloe does not need to have a romance (although I think it would be fun.) She is one of the few characters who can drive a story alone. I don't think they can just hand all of her qualities and scobbying over to Lois because that wouldn't make sense.

She'll be there to the end... and probably after.

She is one of the few characters who can drive a story alone. I don't think they can just hand all of her qualities and scobbying over to Lois because that wouldn't make sense.

She'll be there to the end... and probably after.

I think alot of the other characters could "drive a story alone". Clark, Lex, Lionel, the Kents, Lois, even Lana, are just as perfectly capable of driving a story as Chloe is. Chloe isn't the only character on the show to have a large fanbase, after all. Chloe has a fairly big internet fanbase but the majority of viewers don't tune in to just see Chloe.

I actually don't like Clark. He does, and according to spoilers, will continue to do things that I don't like. I watch for Chloe. It use to be Chloe and Lex, but they took away a lot of my Lex love last season.

For me, Chloe is the heart of the show and I know I'm not alone in that sentiment b/c I know a lot of other online fans who feel the same. However, if you look at my post, I didn't claim to speak for a majority of fans...only that there are fans who feel the same as I do and that they exist and would probably stop watching if Chloe left.

Additionally, I will say that the other main relationships, Clana and Clex are poisoned with lies and deception so they are simply not as heartwarming as the Chloe/Clark friendship, imo. But, yes, aside from the light aspect to their relationship, Chloe also drives the story so getting rid of her would hurt the show.

Seriously guys, she's contracted through the 7th season, if there is a 7th season. So things could get pretty sticky if they decide to off her this season or next, cause then it'd be kinda pointless to have paid extra money (usually when there's contract extensions, there's also bonuses involved) and sign her for more... just to off her?

They re-negotiated in season 3, which is why Sam was written off at the end of that season... his contract was up, and they didn't want to re-sign him.

Plus? Allison is the ONLY one who can do the expositional dialogue, TPTB have admitted that, so they'd never get rid of that.

And Chloe is the only one Clark can confide in besides his parents. I highly doubt that Lana will ever find out, if she does, it won't be til the very end of the series.

Also, let's not forget, they already killed her once. So if they wanted Chloe dead, that was the time.



What good news!!We are going to have Allison til the end of the show!!I dind't know Allison was contracted until the seventh season!!:D :D
Chloe's not going to die!!Pete was not as popular as Chloe is!!Just my opinion!!;)
If they kill her, for me there's no reason to continue watching Smallville.

Oh, I agree with that. Pete definitely didn't have the popularity of Chloe. I still think though that sometime at the very end of the series Chloe will end up getting killed off, probably by Lex.

For the record, I think Lex is the heart of Smallville.:D :p

The thing is actors can have contracts for 7 seasons, but the WB can break those contracts anytime they choose. A contract isn't really a guarantee of anything much these days :(

[GhostRider]

The contracts for the leads lock in the actors and the network so the actors can’t just decide to leave nor can the network just decide to write off their character. The contract can of course be terminated bilaterally anytime. The contracts for the supporting cast only lock in the actors, the network can write off their character any time. And or course the network always reserves the right to cancel the show which it will if the ratings are poor.

So they can write off Chloe at anytime, however I doubt they have any intention to do so.

She is SO going to spill the beans. It's only a matter of time. Whether it's by accident or on purpose will be the question.

[Shadow09]

Chloe is too important a character to the show and to Clark.
They wouldn't just kill off a character unless it propelled the show in a new direction for example Clark finally accepting the mantle as Superman, but if memory serves correct... isn't Pa Kent's death suppose to make Clark become Superman??? please correct me if i am wrong
