For a decade fans have loyally tuned in to watch Clark Kent (Tom Welling) evolve into the man who would one day be Earth’s greatest hero. Tonight Smallville comes full circle, with the return of Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) as Clark takes the final step become superhero of legend.

When asked about the Smallville finale by TV Line, Welling revealed “I really think people are really going to like what we did. I mean, when I think about it I get excited. The last image… for me, it gave me goosebumps.” Zap2it bids goodbye to Smallville with Smallville': 10 seasons of Clark Kent to Superman. Meanwhile, Deadline's Nellile Andreeva points out that "With Smallville ending its 10-season run, Fox canceling Human Target and NBC passing on Wonder Woman, there will be no comic book-based series on broadcast TV for the first time in a decade."

Eric Martsolf (Brady Black, Days of Our Lives) debuted as superhero Booster Gold on Smallville this past Friday. The actor also talked to TV Line about his role and the current state of soaps:

Daytime has been my bread-and-butter for over nine years now, so it’s a big part of my life.I have the utmost faith in the choices I made and the work that I’m doing. People say that the soap genre is going away, and in my humble opinion I don’t believe it is. I think this is the result of networks doing some penny-pinching and trying to put in cheaper programming. In the long run, they’re going to find that canceling these soaps that have been around for decades is probably not a wise move. It looks good on paper, but the fan bases of these soap operas rival those of primetime shows.

The CW is preparing to transition into new era of management. According to the New York Post, CBS and Warner Bros. are interviewing 10 candidates to replace The CW's entertainment president Dawn Ostroff, when she leaves the network later this year.

CBS insiders, however, insisted both partners are committed to the joint venture.

Don’t expect Ostroff’s departure to overturn the egg basket, as it were. Reportedly, Ostroff is still the one choosing The CW’s new series for next fall. READ MORE
