Smallville Stars Confirmed To Return

Smallville finishes shooting on March 22nd (sniff, I told myself I wouldn't cry!), and as the final episodes of the tenth season loom for the cast and ultimately viewers (that is if E4 hurry up airing the series here), two guest stars from previous seasons have been confirmed to make returns in one of the five remaining episodes each. First up is Laura Vandervoot as Kara, cousin to Clark Kent and already established as Supergirl in the show. Last time we saw the only remaining Kryptonian on Earth, she was promoting herself as the first of a wave of supers that would reveal themselves in an effort to draw out major antagonist Darkseid, telling the future Superman that his father had lost faith in him and had dispatched her to rid the universe of the darkness. Vandervoot had previously stated she wanted to return to the show once more in Series 10 ('Supergirl' having been Episode 3) to "wrap things up for Kara". Meanwhile, Callum Blue has also been confirmed to reappear once more as Major Zod, the main antagonist of Season 9, for another episode somewhere inbetween the seventeenth and twentieth stories- the 21st and 22nd will be the ones to bring Smallville to a definitive close. Blue's baddie was zapped to a New Kryton in last year's finale, so who knows how he'll return this time? One thing's for sure, he probably won't be as prominent a threat this season as Clark still has Darkseid and (most likely) Lex Luthor to face before becoming the Man of Steel. Smallville returns in the US on February 8th, and will climax with a two-part finale in May.
