The Grim Reaper is once again descending on Smallville, and this time he’s not foolin’ around.
Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that two pivotal characters will bite the dust in this May’s season finale. And in a bit of a departure for Smallville, both deaths will stick. “These characters will die and they will stay dead,” maintains my insider. “This is the real deal.”
Of course, that’s not to say producers aren’t planning a twist or two, because they are. But I’m told those twists do not involve bringing either character back to life.
If you’re looking for another clue, you’re out of luck. I’m not even going to do one of those morbid charts where I assess each character’s chances for survival. I wouldn’t want to do anything beyond writing this spoilery story to ruin the surprises in store.
Eh, one more little tease won’t hurt anyone: One character qualifies as a Smallville vet… the other one, not so much.
Let the speculation (and prayer vigils) begin in the comments section!

I think it’ll be this year’s bad guy – Doomsday? – and Chloe. They had troubles getting Allison Mack to sign for S8, I think that this year, she told them flat out no.
My guess? Davis and Chloe (sniff). Or, Tess and Chloe (still sniff).
Doomsday is ofcourse one of them. IS it possible that someone like mom Kent will die off-screen or something? If not it’s Chloe, there is no one else it could possibly be if the death is supposed to stick.
How about Ma Kent as the vet?
And here I was certain Chloe was going to take a one-way trip to the future…
So obviously Clark and Doomsday.. they aren’t going to kill Chloe.. unfortunately.
I would go with Tess & Chloe myself … Smallville doesn’t tend to mess with the DC history toooooo much … and we all know what Doomsday ends up doing down the road …
Chloe is probably a safe bet given what Saturn Girl said in “Legion” this year in that they have never heard of her.
By nature Doomsday cant be killed, although removed is always a possibility. For a character who is not a vet… maybe they mean Davis as a character dies, permanently giving over to Doomsday? Mercy would be a good possibility, although that would be a bigger departure from the comics than they usually go for. With the exception of Pa Kent (who had a precadent in dying in the movie) every other character who is alive in the comics is alive on the show.
So I say Chloe and…. ?
Davis is 100% sure cause he said he may not come back
the other wont be chloe IM SURE! they wouldn’t dare
either Oliver? or umm martian manhunter?
Put my vote in for Davis/Doomsday and Chloe. And think it could work for the show, the story, and mostly, the budget.
I think to Chloe and Oliver. Neither Clark and Doomsday can’t die.
two cents
Tess and Chloe
Clark and Davis. Clark’s death will mirror the Doomsday storyline from the comics and will be the cliffhanger to next season. And Davis will probably die. (Note I didn’t say Doomsday…)
I am possed at the PTB and want to know why they are ruining the best character and angering their biggest fan base by first turning Cloe evil then killing her off.
Like some one else said since the legion episiode stated there was no record of Cloe in the future and spoilers have her aiding and abbeding and even feeding people to Doomsday coupled with the earlier spoiler this week that Cloe will be on the run with Doomsday in the finale 2 episiodes. My only hope is that Cloe is being forced against her will to run with Doomsday and dies protecting Clark from Doomsday so she can go out a hero. How ever if Cloe is killed off permantly I will not watch next season and niether will any other true fan of the show so the CW has royaly screwed themselves over ordering another season.
Obviously the non-vet is either Tess or Doomsday but the other vet can’t be clark. They said the character would stay dead. Is this going to be Chloe’s final hour? Hope not…
It seems my worst fears for this show could come true. They will probably kill off Chloe and Davis, the twist being that Doomsday will still come back without his human alter-ego. LAME. TO kill off the two best characters on the show is a mistake. Maybe the actors want out. I hope if they do kill them off, then they better go out in awesome Romeo and Juliet style. Oh, and I’ll be one less person watching next season. What would I watch for? Nothing. I guess that would free me.
Much as I love Chloe, Matthew, they don’t seem to know what to do with her anymore. Chloe could possibly be the major death, if they stick by both staying dead. I’m getting a feeling, though, that this is subterfuge to throw off the Clark death (and eventual resurrection). Of course, they could just kill Lana offscreen and call it good.
Please let it be Chloe. If there’s any justice in the world it will be Chloe and Davis, but most definitely Chloe must die.
My bet is Chloe and Tess. Both of them are expendable and have no baring on the Superman mythology. Clark, Lois, Jimmy, Oliver and Doomsday are very much alive.
I have stuck to this show, even during its worst times, for one character- Chloe. They kill her, I’m out. At least wait until the last season..*sighs* I am going to go head and take a wild shot and say Lois dies..Chloe becomes Lois. I always hated that theory because I like both characters, but I prefer Chloe over Lois. Can’t Clark die(via Doomsday) that dude might be what attracted me to the show but he’s annoyed me since(still nice to look at,heh.)
Sadly, I think it will have to be Davis and Chloe… although it will be interesting to see if the show can carry on without her.
i would say that the “vet” is oliver and that the other is probably davis since he definitely is not returning…
If they kill off Chloe, I will throw up. I’m not joking. They’ve put Chloe fans thru the ringer for YEARS. This year her life has been a shambles and to kill her off?
NO!!!!!!!!!
It’s gotta be Chloe and Davis the man. I’m sure we’ll see Doomsday in Season 9, but Sam Witwer won’t be reprising the human side of the character anymore.
Yeah I’m all about Chloe. I don’t watch it for anything else now that Lex is out of the picture. I suspect Tess will be one of the deaths – she’s not particularly interesting anyway. I haven’t a clue on the other one though. Lana?
I want tess die not chloe i love chloe too much she too die. Davis die too. He not be season 9 ok.
Pete and Tess
Let’s face it there are only 2 vets left on the show that have been in every episiode from day one Cloe and Clark. Since Clark has to survive to become superman that only leaves Cloe. As much as I don’t want to see her die I don’t think Killing Martha, Lana, Oliver, or even Pete or the daod would count as killing off a vet. They could always kill Lex one more time I guess but that too would be a cop out.
The show may be called Smallville but the vast majority of fans watch the show solely for Cloe. No Cloe equals the death of Smallville.
To the people saying it’s Clark and Davis….did you not read the whole paragraph that said the Deaths will stick and there will be no resurrections?
Can’t be Clark.
I think it’ll be either Chloe and Davis or Oliver and Tess.
