After some not-so-encouraging news came in Entertainment Weekly, TVLine’s Michael Ausiello came through with the news we all wanted: Michael Rosenbaum will indeed be back for the Smallville series finale on May 13.
“I’m delighted to return for the series finale,” Rosenbaum told TVLine. “I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.”
“I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he’s destined to be,” he continued.
Executive Producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders released a statement about Michael’s return. Here’s what they had to say:
“It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn’t be more excited about having Michael back. And as far as the way he returns … there’ll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent’s life. He *is* the villain of the story.”

What a surprise. I had hopes he could be persuaded but had my doubts especially after what I read over at SYFY.COM. I guess things do work out some times. Now if Kristen Kreuk would only drop in as Lana Lana one last time…………
