ALLISON MACK TALKS SMALLVILLE
Allison Mack, who is returning as Chloe Sullivan for Season 8 of The CW's Smallville, said she is looking forward to the new-look season.
"I think we're going to have the opportunity to add some really awesome new characters that we've never seen before," Mack said earlier this week during a question-and-answer at the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Ill. "We're going to explore a lot of things that are a little darker than we've ever seen before on the show."
Mack said she wants Chloe to understand her powers.
"You'll definitely see my powers develop in Season 8, absolutely," she said. "There's so many questions that have been unanswered as far what the powers are, how they work and how I can control them. So I think you'll start to see me really harness them and understand exactly what I can do, which I think will be really cool."
Mack said production of Season 8 begins next month in Vancouver.
