Zap2It talks to Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders about Tess being a Luthor plus dish on returning characters. Here are some highlights, spoilers ahead.
“We obviously have a lot of ideas up our sleeve for the end of the season,” says Brian Peterson, also an executive producer. “Having the Luthor name definitely has a profound impact on you.”
“She’ll be back in 12. She comes back in a very cool and exciting way, in addition to a very very romantic way,” says Peterson. “It’s very true to who Chloe is and who she’s becoming.”
Another familiar face in the back nine? Look for Clark’s mother, Martha Kent, to return with a mission. “Becoming a senator was twofold for Martha Kent,” says Souders. “Part of it was to serve the people and part of it was to protect her son. When she comes back, she’ll do both.”
“We can promise in the next run you’ll see them (Lois and Clark) back at the Daily Planet working together,” Souders adds, reassuring.
The bond between Tess and Lex’s clone, Alexander, is growing stronger. “Lex is definitely evolving very quickly now,” says Peterson. “He’s got this connection with Tess, and with her being a Luthor, he’s more tied into the rest of her world in this next run of episodes than he was before.
