Looks like Clark Kent will at least have one of his original pals around next season, as Allison Mack has signed a new deal to return to Smallville for Season 8 in her role as Chloe Sullivan. TV Guide's Michael Ausiello, who first broke the news of the tense contract negotiations between Warner Bros. and Mack, now is reporting that a deal was just signed earlier today.
The situation with Mack was clearly a dicey one – Yesterday, The CW put out their press release for the next TV season, and Mack's name was notably absent from the Smallville listing. But with Kristin Kreuk ("Lana Lang") taking on a considerably reduced role and Michael Rosenbaum ("Lex Luthor") leaving the show completely, Mack because an important component for Smallville to maintain any connection to its original days, which Ausiello says Mack's representatives were using to leverage a better deal for the actress.
