Over Smallville's nine-year run, the show's universe has fittingly expanded; yet, fans would like to see a few characters come back.
Though we haven't see her in quite a while, Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole) is still alive and well. Even though Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) is presumably dead, the Superman mythos would have to disagree. Jimmy Olson (Aaron Ashmore) was also lost last season, but the real photog and eventual best friend to Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is still running around somewhere.
Executive producer Kelly Souders discusses the fate, fortune or future of various Smallville characters who've been missing in action...

I only have one question about the NCIS finale: Is Cote de Pablo returning to the show next season? — B.C.
MATT: Why, did it look like Ziva was on death's doorstep in that secretly filmed torture scene? If so, think back to what NCIS boss Shane Brennan said about that grim cliff-hanger: Come September, "all will be revealed and you will be surprised. It will come at you from left field." (But, in a word: Yes. Sources whisper to me that Cote will be back.) Bonus buzzlet: Season 6 arrives on DVD Aug. 25!
Please tell us the rumors aren't true, and that Desperate Housewives isn't going with a melodramatic miscarriage storyline for Lynette. — Steph
MICKEY: Egads, this is morbid, Steph, but let's retrace our steps: Marc Cherry has said that he thinks a mother losing a child would be ...

What will be the fallout of the ultimate wedding-crashing? The CW's Smallville resumes its eighth season this Thursday at 8 pm/ET — free of any presidential interruption! — and Sam Witwer is here to share a look at what's ahead for mild-mannered Davis Bloome and his less-mannered alter ego.
TVGuide.com: When Smallville first approached you, how up front were they about who and what they wanted you to play?
Sam Witwer: Oh, they lied. They just lied left and right. No, they were very up front. I walked into a room full of producers, and they started telling me this story about a guy named Davis ... who winds up eventually being Doomsday.

Previously, on the CW's Smallville....
Chloe and Jimmy's wedding was spectacularly crashed by the arrival of dreamy Davis Bloome's nightmarish alter ego, Doomsday. Large and in-charge and sporting the latest in bony protrusions, the creature grabbed the bride and spirited her away to the Fortress of Solitude. Once she came to, it became evident that Chloe Sullivan Olsen was not herself.
What's next in this harrowing tale, starring one of Superman lore's most formidable baddies? This exclusive video, narrated by Sam Witwer's Davis, should give you a tantalizing taste — and in a small way, help you get through the next six weeks, until fresh episodes of Smallville return on Jan. 15.
Check out the hot new promo, after the jump.
