Clark Kent’s mother will be returning to Smallville in early 2011.
The studio has confirmed to us that Annette O’Toole will be appearing in the upcoming Smallville episode “Beacon,” which airs early next year.
Annette most recently returned as Martha Kent in Season 9’s “Hostage.”
The announcement of her return comes only a few days before the return of Aquaman (Alan Ritchson) in this week’s episode of Smallville, which is titled “Patriot.” You can find images from that episode at KryptonSite. It airs in the show’s usual timeslot of Friday, October 19 at 8PM (ET) on The CW.
UPDATE: Annette has posted some good news courtesy of her “JimmyJindo” Twitter account… revealing that John Glover is back for the episode too. Here’s what she said: “Thank you everyone who is happy about my doing the Smallville “Beacon” episode. Mr. John Glover is ALSO in this episode. THAT’s exciting!”
