As we mentioned earlier this year, Laura Vandervoort (as “Supergirl”) is only coming back for a single episode. Given the vast cast changes, this really hurts the show.
As TV Squad pointed out, any talk of a “Supergirl” spinoff died a few years ago, that’s apparently not going to happen.
Continuing to fill the void left by Lex Luthor’s departure, another villain has been added for Season 8. This time it is Maxima, who will be played by Charlotte Sullivan.
This goes with the additions of Tess Mercer (new owner of the Luthor estate) and Doomsday (aka Davis Bloome). How will this all work together? We’ll find out in a few short weeks.
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.
