EW.com reports that Tom Welling is in talks to sign on for a ninth season, which would breathe life back into “Smallville.”
Question: Any news as to whether Tom Welling has signed on for another season of Smallville? — Scarlett
Ausiello: Yes, there’s news, and it’s good. Some would even call it, ahem, super. According to a well-placed Smallville insider, Welling is nearing a deal to return for a ninth season. I’m told they’re just ironing out some minor deal points, such as should the Brinks Truck pull into the actor’s driveway, or just unload on the street.
I’ve always liked this show, and while it has had its ups and downs, its eighth season has been pretty good. They’ve been moving forward on Clark Kent’s romance with Lois Lane, and there’s still plenty of room for Kent to grow into Superman.
