Lana, Lex and Al and Miles are ditching the show?!

Like Ive said before I havent seen any of season 7 yet so maybe it fits. Maybe it makes sense with the story or something (dont tell me anything about it though!).

Ive never liked Lana. She used to irritate me so much in the earlier seasons with her permanent puppy eyes and her Clark-its-all-your-fault-all-the-time! nonsense and her Clark-youre-never-honest-with-me whining. Every time she was in a scene I couldnt help but make snarky comments at the tv and every week I hoped she would be killed off, or at least leave. Remember Crisis in season 3 (I think?) where Adam shot her...Or the time she got trampled by the horse before that? Or when she left for Paris at the end of season 3...Got my hopes up so many times.

She did get better in later seasons but I still dont like her. Now though after so many years of wishing for a Lana-free season for Kristin to leave when theres only 1 season left does seem a little silly.

Apparently Laura "Supergirl" Vandervoort is leaving too but she was only in it for the 7th season. She hasnt been there from the start unlike Al Gough, Miles Miller, Michael Rosenbaum and Kristin Kreuk so her departure wont really have much of an effect. It wont totally totally change the show.

I dont know, maybe it'll be ok but I cant help but feel they should all just stick around for the last year. Why do they all feel the need to "move on" and "move in a different direction" and "advance their careers" now after 7 years? Whats one more year?

Also being on a show like that guarantees work and income. Why leave that? Why not stick around for another year of steady work rather than look for roles in movies or other shows or whatever theyre planning to do and maybe not have work for a while?

It just makes me a bit apprehensive about season 8. If alot of the cast, and more importantly the original cast, wont be in it any more will the 8th season suck beyond belief? I know Smallville isnt exactly the greatest show on tv anyway but will this just make it worse?

What do you guys think?
