hi i agree wif everyone after 5 seasons chloe has loved clark and he has always choosen lana and now in season 6 that lana has gone 2 lex he begins 2 fall for chloe now that she wif jimmy and she is falling for him i reallywant clak 2 gfet wif chloe but he left it 2 late now she dies in season six and he realises he loved her more than a friend wat is goin on y didnt chloe live and have a happy life wif clark i swear shows like this can give u heart failure

Personally, I never really had a problem with Chloe...that is until her overly obsessed fans started bashing Lois! I'm sorry, but when someone insults the infamous Lois Lane, it pisses me off. How dare they! Lois was there from the beginning and then this Chloe chick comes along and all of a sudden she's the "golden girl". Wtf?!

I can't stand Chloe AND Allison Mack. This whole situation has forced me to hate them even more. And I don't see what people have against Erica Durance, she is an amazing actress and I think she's brilliant. But that is just my humble opinion.

love erica durance! she's the only reason i started watching smallville. chloe maybe the reason i stop watching! don't think that in the comics "supes", had someone guide him that wasn't from krypton. he runs to her for everything...prefer she never knew his secret...as he isn't much of a man right now in my eyes....hoping lois will change that very soon.

I haven't a clue why Erica's picture is up there. I don't think it is that big of a deal just a little misleading is all.

I don't get why fans/shippers have to be so bitter towards one another either. Why can't we just respect one anothers opinions or views? Also I noticed people coming in here talking about ships and how chlark was never going to happen no offense but this is about allison mack/chloe sulliven not ED/LL or Clark for that matter.

After living with unrequited love for Clark all this time it does not make much sense that Chloe would be interested in Jimmy. Now that Chloe has gotten this close to the Kent family and Clark.

Smallville, before the CW got their paws on it was a story of heroes. In Clark, we had a hero who resisted his destiny, but there was no denying that he had the heart of one.

In Lex, we saw that a hero can try to resist the destiny *we* know he will follow, and fail, but there's no denying that he did try.

In Chloe, we saw that not every hero needs superpowers. That heroes fall, but they pick themselves up and are better for the mistakes they make.

Now, we are told that none of this matters since there is the CW to *tell* us who our heros are supposed to be. The story of any hero is not worth telling, if there is nothing to be gained and lost for our hero, if there is nothing to be earned. The CW's insistence that this version of "Lois Lane" is more worthy of the title of a hero than Chloe Sullivan continues to be insulting to fans who have remained with the show for *years*. And this "hero's" legacy - thanks to the CW -is that this "Lois Lane" will be remembered as nothing more than a replacement for Chloe Sullivan.

Even more insulting, is that after five seasons, and fan support, AM still seems to get sidelined for ED's more obvious attributes. Sex sells, yeah, we get that's what the CW is out for, loud and clear.

I would love to see Chloe cross over to Supernatural. It would be awesome!

Mab, snarkfest and SEXY! If Chloe moved to Supernatural, I'd drop Smallville without another thought.

I'm tired of Chloe and Allison not getting what they deserve.

Maybe Dean or Sam will know how to treat her.

Oh, **so**, I'm with you there! The snark heaven that would be her and Dean (g)!

I get such a kick out of seeing Chloe being the investigative reporter, but I would love to see AM in something like "Heroes" with some superpowers of her own (G) This is one show I am definately looking forward to seeing.

when does it start??

You know sometimes I wish Chloe would make the jump to another show (Supernatural?) so I could just stop watching the wreck that is Smallville for good.

Caryn - you're absolutely right. I loved that TV Guide respected fan response enough to go out and get Allison for an interview. But I don't think it's going to be worth even sticking around for the sixth season if it's going to be the beginning of the end for Chloe ie the PTBs start to give EDLois everything she needs to start "becoming" Lois inorder to replace Chloe. The PTBs have made no secret of the fact that they don't much listen to fan's responses to EDLois. Who even knows if they can do anything with DC breathing down their necks.

In the end, I think Chloe will be the first to go and by the end of the series, Lana so that they can truly show to everyone that EDLois is their ILL and meant to be with CK. They'll just make it happen however they can, with whatever storyline they can come up with in EDLois' favour.

I think I'll just settle for adoring Allison from afar. I'm sure she'll go on to greater things after the show is over anyway.

And it's even listed under Erica as well - HELLO PEOPLE, article about ALLISON?

This is what people get annoyed by. It's more than obvious that Erica doesn't have the popularity at all, and thus they have to try to hijack and try to downplay the girl who IS. It's really rather pathetic of the CW. What is so wrong about giving Allison her dues when they are there? IF people want to promote Erica, why not find something ABOUT Erica?

Allison's interview is STILL amazing and I find it rather ironic that her TVGuide article was spawned from Erica backlash and yet this is exactly what happens here.

Great interview with Allison. I loved that it doesn't seem as if TPTB are shutting the door on Chlark in the future.Honestly Chloe needs a MAN not a BOY(Jimmy).If I can't have Chlark,maybe Bruce Wayne will appear.Chloe deserves somebody who's her equal,she'll own Olsen.

Another part of Allison's interview I liked was her answer about Agelina Jolie. Most people mention Jolie's beauty as a reason they like her,but Allison talked about Jolie's charity work and intelligence.This on the heels of Mack being involved in a charity auction for Save the Children(raised $1,680+).Allison shows what a classy,down to earth woman she is.
I love her insight into the character of Chloe.I think that having a character like Chloe,that works hard for her dreams is getting an education striving to be something,is a great model for young girl's to see.Too often female characters are nothing more than pretty morons.Chloe's a refreashing change.
It's great to see the media is starting to pay attention to Ms.Mack(Entertainment Weekly ran a pic. of the Chlark kiss)hpefully there'll be more Allison interviews in the future.

I think the reason so many AM fans are upset is because is because the CW seems to have completely snubbed her in favor of ED this summer. I'm fairly positive that if AM had been given her due respect in the CW promos, that you would NOT be geting the reaction you're getting now.

Having said that, I THINK THAT THE POINT HAS BEEN MADE. And from this point forward, we'll just talk about how WONDERFUL ALLISON is!!!!

....Right guys? All we're doing right now anyway is taking attention AWAY from AM and placing it on ED. So let's just ignore Nois and continue showing how much we love Allison/Chloe.

We love to hear as much as we can about Allison since she is all too often the unsung hero of Smallville and her character continues to get short shrift. That's why a lot of people, myself included, thought, WHY is a picture of Erica Durance accompanying an interview that is soley with Allison Mack?

No offense to Miss Durance but her character is the worst Lois ever and that is indeed why many people think Chloe has to be the real Lois Lane. Chloe is everything the real Lois Lane should be and sadly for Miss Durance, there's no doing justice to "Lois" and the writers and producers of the show can take the blame for that.

It's great that everyone on set gets along and Miss Mack is obviously courteous and considerate of her fellow performers. But ultimately, it's Chloe we want to see get what she deserves and what she's worked so diligently for: her dream job and the man she's loved since the moment she met him. And that is NOT Jimmy Olsen; Smallville canon already tells us that is not the case. It's Clark and if the producers think we're going to sit still and watch another two years of boredom such as we've had with the ridiculous overemphasis on Lana in the past, with the hero inexplicably wanting her for no reason we've ever been shown, instead of finally turning to Chloe who's been everything a firend and girlfriend should be, they're mistaken.

I have to disagree with Miss Mack about a Clark and Chloe romance, however. With all due respect, Chloe and Clark could very well sustain a relatonship and continue to investigate with Clark saving people as a result. Clark should be the hero first and foremost and Chloe should be beside him. Both Clark and Chloe deserve a decent romantic relationship together and that is what we've been waiting to see for five long years. And give us Chloie revealed as the real Lois Lane which she already is in everything but name, then it's all good.

It's time to stop teasing us and deliver what we were promised at last season's end. Not more Lana or Clark moping over her and definitely not awful Lois. Bring me Chloe and Clark; they belong together.

I happen to be an Allison Mack AND an Erica Durance fan, and I really don't appreciate the generalization of the fanbases.

Before you start, yes, I happen to be a member of DI, because I am happen to think that Erica Durance is on her way to becoming the iconic Lois Lane, and that she and Clark belong together.

I've been reading the comics since I was very little, and my favorite was always Superman. The comics made it clear that without Lois, Superman wasn't the same person. He wasn't Superman.

When I started watching Smallville, I have to admit that I liked Chloe because of her Lois Lane-like traits. I didn't ship Chlark, though, because it clear to me at the time that she wasn't Lois, the person that I thought - and still think - belongs with Clark.

When Lois Lane came onto Smallville, I was all ready to dislike her. Honestly. I wasn't looking forward to someone with the name that lacked the character. But the thing is, she did. She may have not been a reporter from the get go, she may not have been ready to uncover the truth, but the personality traits were all there. You immediately saw her connection with Clark, and you could see the determination she had to find the story when she worked with Chloe at the torch. Lois Lane was there. You just had to know what to look for. The Lois that came onto the scene was 18 or 19 years old. I don't know many people that knew what they wanted to do by then, and it's not rediculous to think Lois could be the same way.

Honestly? Clark's not iconic Clark, either. The only way we know for sure it's him is his heritage. There's no doubt about who he is, but there's also no doubt that he's not who he's going to be either. Superman was sure of himself, sure of his heritage, and knew what his purpose was. No one can honestly say that Clark has any of those things. That still doesn't mean that he's not going to be the Superman that we all have loved since we were small.

I do love Chloe. I do. But to me, she's not Lois Lane. She's a seperate - but awesome - character. I agree with many other Clois fans when I say that the most solid relationship on the show right now is between the cousins. They have a great relationship that was cemented from the get go.

About DI encouraging spamming - um, no we weren't We were encouraging support. Any other fan base would do the same if they saw that their favorite actress or character wasn't getting the credit they believe that they deserve. We're not here to convert any of you to our ship. We're here to explain why we believe what we do. Honestly? I don't ship Chlark, but I can see why you would. I don't believe the Chlois theory, but I can see why you would. I don't for a second think that Erica Durance isn't worthy of the character she's playing, but I can see where it's possible where you would. We're all fans of the same show here, and I don't see why there has to be a war everytime we disagree with the way things are going with our respective favorite characters.

And I honestly see where you're coming from when you talk about not wanted Erica's picture with Allison's interview. Hey, I don't think she gets the publicity she deserves either. She's a gem on the show, but people don't act like it. But other people don't see it that way, and sometime it's something you have to deal with.

Everyone else certainly has to.

I know is about Allison i am not denin that but I think is UNFAIR that just because a picture you start to bash the Lois Lane character... tha's disrespectful to the actress. Wiht just "I am confuse why is the Erica picture her" would be enough bit noo you start bashinh a make people think that Erica/Lois is the worst of the show which is not true

Maria Gabriela, how in the world does your repeated spamming (of you and your ilk) change the fact that this article, by TV Guide, right here... ISN'T ABOUT ERICA?

IT's about ALLISON. And likewise, people should be allowed to talk about Allison without your mindless Erica ilk spamming the boards with the zombie like repetition.

Allison's amazing. Allison is popular - winning the TCAs. Allison is loved by the fanboys - getting a SV mag because the fans like it. Allison is a media darling - TVGuide interviewed her specifically because they (the biggest TV mag in the country) WANTED her.

I'm sorry if you feel so terribly threatened by her popularity, but surley even YOU can see that this entry should be about HER and what HER article talked about.

Not about No Chance Durance.

Ha! The "KSite is biased claim." KSite does IP tracking on it's polls. Whoever wins, wins because of individual people voting. Nothing more, no matter how people try to spin it.

And KSite posts honestly with their news items - no one lese (not KSite, not DTS) tried to pimp Erica in a story all about Allison.

I agree with someone lower below - There was no need to put Erica in here, no need to try to start anything, and no NEED for DIers to come here and talk about Erica at all (and bash the 95% of fandom which doesn't agree with them at all) -- becuase the article *IS ABOUT ALLISON.*

It's not a hard concept that when Allison gets an article, Allison fans *want to talk about Allison* and *want her to get her appropriate props*, not to have someone else ride her coat tails.

It has nothing to do with Erica - a photo of Kristin would of gotten the same reaction. Or had it been an Erica article with a tag along of Allison, DIers would of reacted the same way. Probably worse given that most of them hate KSite because they were banned for SOCKPUPPETING (something that they apparently like to do to E!Kristin V as well given her inbox spamming.)

Excuse me but not all the CW Boards comments are OT there are maybe 10 of 15 coment OT for each 50 posts....About the promoting of Erica: She alongside with Micahel Rosembaun are the only ones who are promoting Smallville...going to movie premiers and auctions. Erica is in covers and goes to the CW related events....my point is why AM is not in the promos....she dosn't care...she was in a movie..goes to the premier and that's all we knew about her in this hiatus...hell even in the entire 5th season...she makes auction in her website (good she is a nice caring person) but don't blame tha CW for not want to include her in the promos.....she hasn't earn the place....she hasn't work hard to promote the show that she is in it.

Erica has gone to convection in all places..she makes interviews...she poses to magazine (this october she is in the cover of a magazine called Sally and the headline??? the "Smallville's Star") She works to the show be promoted....you bash her cause she dosn't have "some" iconic lois lane qualities...you don't bash the writers for write her that way or the DC for putting those restriction....you prefer not to think that Smallville is going on for 2 years more and she has plenty of time to work Lois in a better way....you choose to hate her and not give her a chance to be the ACE reporter she is ment to be...2 years people two years....that's a lot of time

She's such a cheeser! Look at that smile! If nothing happens between her and Clark this season I'm going to think of her as such a ho! Chlhoey! ahhhh! I'm glad she's holding out for a better movie prospect, if she sold out to those cheap horror flicks I'd think much less of her. You go girl!

Kiki - regarding the DI-ers, sure whatever you say.

BTW, bitter than ED/LL is so umarketable on her own and so disliked by fans that the CW is resorting to using AM's interview (this part has nothing to do with the real Lois theory) to prop her up? Bitter that fan dislike of ED's TV Guide interview led to AM's interview and yet somehow ED is up there when this part has to do with Chloe and AM personally? Nah, of course not. It's to be expected when a character has been so royally messed up by the writing and there's nothing left to do but use everyone else's publicity to promote her as well. I envy you being optimistic about the future of Lois, I think the only way to save the character of "Lois Lane" is the Chlois theory.

THIS is why the Allison Mack TVGuide.com interview exists (and why putting Erica's picture teasing the interview is in bad taste), as explained by the interviewer, himself:

"A few weeks ago, a TVGuide.com freelancer ran into Smallville's Erica Durance at the TCA Fall Press Tour, and subsequently submitted an Insider teasing Lois' upcoming "thing" with Oliver Queen (aka Green Arrow). Immediately our e-mail inbox began overflowing with, no, not fan mail for Lois' portrayer, but missives from steadfast supporters of original cast member Allison Mack, asking that Chloe's portrayer be given her due. Well, Mack Attackers, you're not getting a Q&A with your fave."

And, if the blog pictures are supposed to reflect the "two Loises", why aren't they production stills? Because, really, we're looking at pictures of Allison Mack and Erica Durance, not Chloe Sullivan and Lois Lane.

Anyway...glad to see that Chloe will still play a HUGE role in Clark's life and nice to hear (although, it's obvious :) that Allison waits for great roles and doesn't jump at just anything thrown her way, showing remarkable acting maturity for her age.

Allison is a breath of fresh air on network TV and I'm thankful that TVGuide.com took some time to talk with her!

Uh, Kiki, you (general you) also bash us because you think we're bashing Erica when that's not what this is about at all.

I think it's disrespectful to put a picture up of Erica in a blog when it should totally be about Allison. SHE'S the one the fans want more of. That's been made rather obvious.

Maria Gabriela, using multiple accounts and spamming/bumping threads at the CW boards (to make sure they're always at the top!) with random OT comments really doesn't impress me. Especially when Allison is winning all kinds of awards that don't reflect any kind of stuffing or bias.

I'm sorry, but the explanation why Erica's picture is up there doesn't make sense.

The second part of Allison's interview didn't even mention Erica nor Erica's Lois Lane and yet you have Erica's picture up there?

Allison already got shafted on CW's promos and photoshoots and now she can't even get her OWN picture on an entry blog that's only about her?

Give Allison a break, CW!!!

CW, a name does not a character make. Like Claire said, spirit does. AM's portrayal of Chloe Sullivan is one of the best things on that show and yet you consistently ignore her contribution to SV. When TV Guide publishes an interview doing what you, the network should have been doing all along, CW you proceed to include ED by default in the post above thanks to a question in Part 1 of her interview. This part of the interview was devoted to AM and Chlark. Yet somehow, that translates to a need to show off the choices for Lois? We know who they are thanks. We've been behind Chloe for years now. We know who we want as Lois Lane and slights like this one just make us more fierce in our support for a wonderful character. Here's my hope for Allison Mack - finding a show and a network that fully supports her as a cast member and one of the stars of their show.

Uh, Logan I think you might be confused. People at DI are big fans of AM and Chloe. No need to be bitter because of a marketing ploy.

As for the idea of Chloe = Lois... I can see how some people could buy into that. The writers with their limitations have royally screwed over the character of Lois Lane by giving Chloe many of the characteristics that define her character.

Here's hoping to a change this season.

Aw, come on. What's with the ED picture in an Allison entry on this blog? Why isn't the CW secure enough in her character without pimping her in blurbs that have nothing to do with her? Gawd, CW way to keep the faithful fans pissed off with your attitudes to Chloe/AM. Thanks a bunch.

Erica is an wonderful addition to SV and I love her portrayal of Lois. I like the chemistry between the cousins. Erica and Allison play it off very well. We need more Lois in SV to see how she becomes her future self.

Go Allison Mack! She's really sweet and I enjoy reading about her and her views on her character and the upcoming storylines.

It's awful that the CW finds yet another way to fit ED in something that has nothing to do with her. The TV Guide interview was about AM, Chloe and her views on her character's future in the series. ED's picture should have been up with Part 1 of this interview that dealt with the Chlois Theory. Way to go, CW.

BTW, hello, DI-ers. Let the bashing of Allison-fans begin. How dare we like AM and be disappointed that CW is yet again trying to take attention away from her and her interview to include ED?

What a great interview! Allison is so great - little confused though why there's a picture of Erica next to Allison. This is about Allison's interview, not Erica's....

This has nothing to do with disliking Erica as a person, seeing as how none of us know her personally. This is about wanting to get Allison the well deserved recognition she deserves. And having a picture of Durance posted next to her in this blog, when she's not even mentioned in the interview is just not cool. Especially as that's why there was a fan outcry in the first place. It's really quite clear from really, *everything* that Allison is a fan favorite.

But, thanks Claire for the clarification. I totally get it now and understand completely.

After having said all that, the rest of the interview was fantastic and I can't wait to see what's in store for Chloe and her relationship with Clark next season!

As for who is *really* Lois? Well, what we see on the show speaks for itself. There's a girl doing all the things Lois does (Chloe) and a girl that isn't but has the name (Lois). Think about that one for a moment.

I don't see why people have to pit two (female) characters against each other. Personally, I want more Chloe-Lois scenes. I love how strong both female characters are on the show.

And here's to hoping that Clark stops moping and obessing about his love-life and starts to grow up. I want to see more of the characteristics that make him Superman.

Smallville writers: Give me character development, please!

Thanks for the explanation for the pic, Claire, but it's still in bad taste to promote an actress and her character when neither had any mention in this part of the interview. This is about Allison and her fans and the fact that we want to hear and see more about her. And not a 13-epsiode semi-regular on the show.

Loved the second part of Allison's interview. I guess you guys at the CW don't understand that the fans wanted the interview with Allison, because you SNUBBED Allison in your promos. And the fans are getting TIRED of the Erica PIMPING. Then,in an interview that has NO MENTION of Erica you include her picture? Way to keep the fans angry. When will Allison be included in the CW promos? Allison is also a "star" on Smallville (20 episodes per season versus Erica's 13). Since that was your reasoning for SHOEHORNING a photo of Erica on the blog when there was NO REASON TO. Does it anger you that Allison is getting attention NOT because she's being pimped by the CW, but because the FANS are DEMANDING it? So the CW has to shove Erica down our throats because of that?

I think Allison is a truly amazing actress, and the interview was stellar. I really hope that she'll do some amazing projects after Smallville- and I'm glad she hasn't gone out for the horror films like so many other teen stars have.

I hope that there will be some new Promotional Pictures of the SV cast for Season 6. We haven't had any since season 4, and every one has changed so much with hair styles, etc.

Why is Erica's picture ran with this item? That's weird.

If you say that the CW Boards are contrled by rhe people form DI... well Ksite is controled by Chlarkers...every site is biased if you think about it.

Thanks for the reply Claire, but shouldn't images with news articles reflect what the content is actually about?

Erica isn't in that article at all, it's not about Chlois, and it's certinally not about her "star" status. It's just not about her.

Including her in looks like a ploy - whether to rile people up, to some how equate Allison vast popularity with Erica lack of connecting with the Smallville fanbase at all, or simply because someone thinks it's funny.

What particularly silly is leaving it up when people have made it clear that they don't get the reasoning and it's clear that it's not what the news is about. I read the blog because it's good for CW *news* -- but no one wants biased representations of the news entertainment or otherwise.

And that's what this photo is - it's putting your bias on an article; whether the CW is encouraging it, or your blog wants the attention, or whatever -- This article isn't about Erica Durance whatsoever. There need not be a Erica vs. Allison debate here, NOR should the comments here BE ABOUT ERICA.

THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT ALLISON. The comments should be about ALLISON. About the SPOILERS. NOT about Erica.

IF people want to talk about Erica, Erica should get some news. The fact that she doesn't and that's some how to "justify" the inappropriate picture use is pure BS.

And, it's quiet funny, as it's that type of BS that prompted TVGuide to do the interview in the first place. It's almost circular.

The problem fans have is with the character of Lois Lane NOT ED. Baseless accusations of ED-hating just reflect back on the accusers.

Erica does justice to Lois Lane? BWHAHAHAA. And the next thing y're going to say is that Bigfoot is real right?

Glad to see that TVGuide is on board with what the TCAs have been pointing out for five years - that Allison is popular enough to get nominated EVERY year (Erica never has)and even WIN, something that no one else but Tom Welling has done on the show.

Yep - if one acturally *reads* the CW boards, the ED fans spam with "Hi!" "Bye!" "LOLZ!" to do what? Ah yes *make a actress which 95% of the fanbase find repulsive and appauling look popular.*

One should ask why Allison got a TWO PART interview to begin with: Matt already told us. The TVGuide readers were so annoyed, disgusted, and turned OFF by Erica Durance that they emailed in to get some coverage for the girl on the show that they really liked and tell them how much they don't enjoy Erica Durance's character or interpretation.

People can try to make it out as unfair picking on or that some how Erica is the loose here but, hello, Erica isn't the one person who was left out of the network promos. And the fact that the FAN FAVORITE is trying to be pushed into a corner for a character that is resoundingly unpopular (that even Almiles have admitted that people don't care about) - then yes, people are going to speak up.

People want Allison to have her due praise and her moments; she and her fanbase are often the unsung group of SV, so when something does go her way people ARE going to mention it. And they ARE going to respond appropriately when people are putting up images that do not accurately reflect the content they are representing.

If someone doesn't like it? Whine at DI and spam the CW boards some more. After all, given DTS, KSite, and TWoP -- the sites that have actually BEEN in SV the whole series -- don't give a flip about Erica Durance.

They do, however, love Allison.

Thanks for the explanation, Claire, but the interview was still focusing on ALLISON MACK and her portrayal of Chloe...the second part didn't even discuss the Chlois theory (that was all part one). The pictures of Allison and Erica, teasing the blog entry, give a false impression of what it is REALLY about.
All in all, though, hanks for posting the entry, promoting the interview, and at least, acknowledging that Allison Mack gives a Lois Lane performance that is worthy of mentioning. I hope fan reaction shows that Lois Lane is more than a name..it is, indeed, as you wrote Claire, the spirt of who she is :)

Aww Allison is a sweet heart! I like that she admires Angelina Jolie, Allison has always been into helping whenever she can...I just saw her website AMO says that thanks to her they raised almost $2000 for a charity.

This team is amazing! I love them! I love Erica and Allison. And Erica does justice to Lois.

The CW boards are being controlled by the kids from DI, who encourage spamming of the boards.

Allison won favorite actress at the Ksite awards by 52%. She won a Teen Choice award, only TW has one one of those before.

Nominated for a TWoP award for best actress and best actor in an otherwise crappy show (paraphrasing).

Chlark won best couple at the Ksite awards, best kiss at the DTS awards and was nominated for an E!Online Tator tops award for best Kiss. And Tom and Allison are nominated for best chemistry/or couple I forget at the TWoP awards.

Some of us don't dislike Erica, we just don't think she is the Lois Lane we grew up with in the comics, movies and tv series.

Chloe is a fan favorite, while Lois is not.

I agree with Marcy and Peter. I love both Chloe and Lois but I think season 6 must be more about Lois, Clark and Lex

Sorry, Chlois will never happen. Allison and the producers already said that thousand of times.Even so the theory doesn't make any sense

Allison is a nice person, the interview is awesome. I love how wonderful she is always is about her friendship with Erica.

Erica deserve all the praise she is getting because she is a wonderful and beautiful person.

Love Mack. Love Durance. I think the two make a killer team. SV needs more episodes featuring the cousins! They have, hands down, the best chemistry on the show.

I like both Lois & Chloe, However, I'mmore intrested in seeing more Lois this season in order for her to become The Woman she is Destined to become.

This season should focus on Lois, Clark & Lex, tiying up all the lose ends the writters place in oder to make their journey intresting . Season 6 should be the "GO FORWARD SEASON"

Lois - closer to becoming The Ace Reporter she's destined to become.

Clark - To becoming more and more like SUPERMAN

Lex - going completely evil.

I simpmy don't udesrtand why some SV fans hate erica...She is a wonderful actress and she don't deserve all the bashing for some of you .....She is in the promos cause like her or not she os Lois Lane.....Chloe (until someone says the opossite) is simply Chloe...who is she in the comics???...no one... And please don't say that ALL SV fans don't like Erica...you should pass by the CW Borad and see for yourself that most of the people there love erica....her threads are the most posts in ths SV board and she/and Clark are allwaya winning the polls of best ship....People come her and watch the kind of comments you made and for a minute think that Erica is the most hated person in the show...which calrely is not cause otherwise the network wouldn't be promoting her with Tom in the promos

Allison Mack is great, one of my favorite young stars so it's great to see her getting more press. She truly deserves it. The show is very lucky to have her and all the fans adore her.

Don't really know why there's a picture of Erica Durance next to this story though?

Thanks for the explanation. It still doesn't go with the article at all though since it is about Chlark and about Allison Mack personally and her views on celebrity and desireable future projects. Worse, the article was written in response to Allison Mack fans complaining about her not getting her due publicity wise while others were being thrust into the limelight instead. So for you to put up a picture of said other actress when she isn't mentioned once in the article is exactly the type of behavior that prompted the complaints to tvguide to begin with.

Well I loved the second part of the interview :D, Allison Mack always rock, and thanks for the wave to the Chlark fans, as a Chlark/Chlois fan it was lovely. Just a question, what is ErikaD photo doing in the top of the column?? I would have appreciated a Clark image much more!! Be well and take care.

I adored the 2nd half of the interview with Allison Mack this week. It was well worth the wait and added to the anticipation of the new season and the Chlark relationship intensifying.

And then, I check this site out and wham, ED pic for an Allison Mack interview. Huh. I appreciate the explanation, Claire, God knows it's certainly more respect than the network has shown Chloe fans, but it's in awfully bad taste when the Chlois theory was featured in the first half of the interview two weeks ago now. This second half was focused more on Clark and Chloe and what the future might hold for them like you said in your write-up above. A Clark pic would have been more appropriate if you wanted to add one in. Not an ED one when the interview had nothing to do with the CHlois theory. Aside from that a big thanks for posting and explaining. It's great that people over at the CW are listening to Allison fans.

I was looking forward to this particular interview!

Thanks Claire for your article!

You posted pictures of both AM and ED on this entry.... who will be the real Lois Lane? I hope TPTB will make the right decision and choose CHLOIS! :)

Thanks for clearing that up Claire!

Moving along...I really liked both parts of the interview. The Chlark dynamic is what keeps me watching Smallville, I'm so glad we are going to have more of that.

I'm so happy Allison is getting all of this deserved attention :)

Claire,

Thanks for your explanation--but if that's what you wanted to do (show "two Loises"), why not create a blog that discusses "iconic Lois"? (Or is there a blog for that already?) B/c I think Matt's interview made it pretty clear that we AM/Chloe fans are *not* interested in seeing more of Erica. AM/Chloe's the star we want to see on this blog! :)

Thanks anyway for starting the blog, though!

Well thanks for the explaination Claire.

It's just frustrating for us Chloe/Comic Lois fans to have Erica be shoehorned into SV and now promotion when she is only a GUEST star and Allison is a REGULAR star since the first episode and especially when the article doesn't even mention Erica.

But thanks for the Allison coverage, this blog is a great source for SV info.

Hi, everyone,

I just wanted to let y'all know that I posted this particular image because it showed both Loises - the one who portrays her by name and the one is in spirit according to fans. By no means am I promoting Erica more than Allison.

Actually, this is the first time we've shown Erica anywhere on this site. I know not everyone loves her, but she does star on the show.

Cheers!

Wow, I really enjoyed both parts of the interview.. It was very well done..

One Question Why on earth would you have a pic of Erica on here When the interview was about allison and tom.. We dont want her on there take it off please thanks..

Also if you didn't notice the interview was done because we were so mad at you guys for always having erica everywhere and never caring for Allison we got together to get her a interview not so you could mess it up with Erica's pic.

What's Erica's pic doing here? I thought the TV Guide interview made it clear that AM/Chloe fans want to see AM, not Erica. If you want a second pic here, why not the Chlark kiss from "Vessel"? :)

Matt's interview(s) with Allison were awesome, BTW! I'm looking forward to reading more AM/Chloe-centric pieces, and to seeing Chlark on screen!

Thanks for the heads up, but what's with the random Erica pic?

While it's fantastic that Allison is getting lots of deserved attention, this blog entry confuses me with the picture of Erica Durance on it. If the whole point was to associate this article with Smallville, then having a picture of Tom Welling would be more appropriate.

Yeah..Erica messed this blog entry up.

btw..awesome Allison Interview, I hope TV GUIDE continues giving us what we really want...ALLISON! Chlark! and Chlois Theory news!

Yay for Allison Mack! Great to see the second part of this interview. And I'm glad she says her character will continue to play a major part in Clark's life-- I hope that means Chlark sometime before the end of the season. The kiss in "Vessel" set up expectations among viewers, and I want to see those expectations fulfilled-- and that means Chlark!

I have to chime in here with everyone else, though-- what's with the picture of Erica Durance? This is an interview with Allison Mack, and Ms. Durance isn't even mentioned. We're not bashing Ms. Durance-- but the CW did snub Ms. Mack in the promos, so it seems to me she's entitled to her day in the sun solo:-).

Err..why is there a picture of Erica if the post has nothing to do with her? ::is confused::

In any case, love the 2nd part of the interview with Allison! I figured that there would be some kind of awkwardness with the season finale Chlark smooch, but that's alright! Looking forward to next season!

Please remove the picture of Erica

LOL let me chime in with the rest of you, I also had a "WTF? moment" when I saw the picture to the blog entry.

Erica doesn't belong there, this is Allison's accomplishment. She is the one interviewed, she is the one fans want to hear about..not Erica. I'm sorry, but CW ptb...if you think Erica is what we want..you are seriously mistaken.

Eww, why is Erica's picture there?

I know stunt casting is kinda cheesy and poor Veronica Mars gets more than their share (some of it great, some less so)...but I'd love to see Allison Mack on Veronica Mars. The strong, smart and snarky Chloe reminds me of Veronica and it'd be kind of fun to see her on the show.

I think Allison has what it takes to do a broad range of roles and I hope casting agents will give her that chance!

Okay..first off..why is Erica Durance in the picture for this blog?

Smallville fans dislike Erica, we are tired of her face being pimped all over the place. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT HER INTERPRETATION OF LOIS!

It is disrespectful to put Erica's picture in a blog entry about ALLISON's interview when Erica is not even mentioned at all.

We want Allison coverage, if we havn't been clear thus far, I'll say it again CHLOE IS THE ONLY LOIS!

Its bad enought the CW snubbed Allison and her fans be excluding her from the ads, now we have to deal with this too?

um....we know chloe's going to be lois but its not hard to tell the difference between the two lois

Did you guys miss the memo where they interviewed Allison to appeased pissed off fans who hated all the Erica pimping and wanted to hear about a character they actually liked?

I think you did.

A picture of just Allison Mack would be better

Love the interview! Allison deserves more attention for all the great work she does on Smallville!
She seems like a class act and wants to put forth some great work in the future (which I have no doubt she could pull off because she's already shown she can).
But, seriously, why does Erica Durance's picture need to be alonside hers on this page, teasing the ALLISON MACK interview???
She doesn't even TALK about Erica in part two :)
This is precisely why fans wrote into TVGuide.com in the first place...because Allison wasn't being promoted...

Why have Erica's picture up for this entry? The interview of Allison Mack was overwhelmingly requested because people *didn't* like the idea of Erica being so heavily promoted...cause frankly she isn't very well liked within fandom.

This is Allison't time to shine, so the pic of Erica--who isnt even mentioned in this part of the interview--is not appreciated.

OMIGOSH!

I was waiting for the second part! This is great, I'm glad that Chloe is the one that stops Chlark FOR RIGHT NOW. I'm hoping we get to see Chlark by the end of the season. CHLARK is the one relationship in SV tht makes sense. In my honest opinion, it is the heart of the show.

I think Miss Mack is the best actress of the young cast. I definitely think that she has Emmy/Oscar winning potential in her future. I like that she is not taking just any movie to be in movies, she is taking her time and chooising wisely.

Love Allison!

Someone got confused uploading the photos today!

I think Allison TOTALLY has what it takes to make it after Smallville (her, Tom and Michael are the only one of the new set who have any amount of talent to go anywhere.)

And YAY, Chlark! I hate that they are trying to shove the The Kiss under the rug but at least TVGuide won't let Al & Miles off the hook, nor the CW. People want Chlark - not Clana, not EDClois, not Lexana, *Chlark.* People want Allison IN the CW adds. People want to see and hear more of Chloe. The TCAs, the SV Mag, this interview which was spawned soley out of people wanting it... people want Allison.

And they don't want any other substitutes no matter how hard the new network may try to cram them down our throats.

Chloe's second part! Way to go Allison! I love how much she loves philantropy, and I love how much she's teasing us. Chlark must surely be on it's way - she's WAY too coy.

(Also is it just me but who else is completely confused that an article about Chloe and Clark's relationship has a picture of not Tom, but Erica with AM? Someone is confused!)

Why in the WORLD is a photo of ERICA DURANCE up in an interview NOT ABOUT HER?

Did the bloggers here forget that people were so NEGATIVE about having to hear more about Erica that the's why they did a two part interview on Allison IN THE FIRST PLACE?

That TVGuide interviewed Allison Mack because they ALIENATED THEIR MEMBERS by talking about Erica Durance?

Talk about not reading what ya blog about.

Allison Mack is great. She deserves all the attention she is getting now. She's the reason I started to watch the show. I could see her going the Gillian Anderson route and doing plays and period pieces and picking up awards for them. She is very talented. The producers are very lucky to have her on the show.

Why don't you use the picture they used with the article? And why is there a picture of ED running with this item? She isn't mentioned at all in the Q&A. I thought that was weird.
