Justin Hartley, known on the show as both Oliver Queen and the “Green Arrow”, will be back as a regular character in season 8.
Given the departures of Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk, this is certainly good news for Smallville fans.

BuddyTV has a nice article that looks at the problem of villains in Smallville. Now that Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) is leaving the show, there is a big opening for the role of “primary villain”.
There is some talk of having Doomsday fill that gap, but that seems unlikely. There are also reports that a “sexy female villain” will arrive this season. Maybe the two of them combined could work out well.
Either way, it seems likely that we’ll miss Lex more than we realize…
After losing a few big stars this season, things looked pretty bleak. It also appeared that Allison Mack (aka Chloe) might not return, either. Fortunately, that idea can be put to rest as she has signed a deal to come back for Smallville’s 8th season.
As BuddyTV suggests, her agent probably scored a good deal for her, since they had the leverage gained when Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) and Kristin Kreuk (Lana) left this season.
