Chloe Sullivan, played by Allison Mack, is one of Smallville’s most popular characters, if not the most popular. I’m willing to bet that most fans of the show prefer her even to Tom Welling’s handsome Clark Kent – but her journey within the show, as well as her evolution from plot device to key component of the show’s ongoing narrative, is a fascinating one.
Created as a Lois Lane archetype, the character has unusually taken on a life of her own, always remaining a key part of the show despite being the first name on everyone’s list whenever the producers announce they’re going to kill someone off. It’s odd, as well, because so many regulars – who form an important part of the Superman mythos, like Lana and Lex – have left the show in the meantime. Not Chloe, though. Here’s why.
The viewers feel like they own Chloe Sullivan. Since she’s not an established part of Superman lore and as DC Comics elected not to retcon her into the Superman line, she will forever remain one of the few aspects that belong exclusively to Smallville. In that sense, I believe viewers resonate with her more as a result. She’s not on the show now to fulfill her original purpose as a Lois Lane stand-in. The show has had Lois Lane for a long time – Chloe’s there because fans want her there.
It’s so rare that a character created out of necessity has become so important, but it’s also humble and must feel validating to fans of the show. Chloe has been developed into the centrepiece of the show’s relationships, and, by not becoming the object of Clark’s affections, she’s avoided the on-again off-again nonsense that turned me against Lana after about three years.
Let’s hope the writers don’t kill Chloe off at the end of season nine. There could be an uprising.

The time of Chloe it’s over. She has to leave Smallville!! That’s the truth
I’m afraid Chloe Sullivan has never been my character on Smallville. I didn’t start to watch the show regularly until Lois Lane appeared in season 4. Before that I found the show kind of boring, despite how goodlooking Tom Welling’s Clark was. Now I tend to only watch the episodes with Lois in – they are always the most enjoyable to me. And Clark has become so much more appealing in season 9! As for Chloe – with the way she’s been written for the past 2 seasons, my apathy towards the character has evolved into intense dislike.
Oops. Meant to say ‘I’m afraid Chloe Sullivan has never been my favorite character on Smallville’. Well, she’s not!!
I’ve been watching SV ever since the first episode, became very frustrated with Lexana. Stopped watching by the end of season 6. Only came back because of Chlollie. It’s about time Chloe has a happy ending. If she leaves I’m done with Smallville.
This show is Smallville (Superman) or Chloeville (Superchloe)?????? because NOW!!!! is Chloeville!!! …. It is the show of SUPERCHLOE!!!!
This show is Smallville (Superman) or Chloeville (Superchloe)?????? because NOW!!!! is Chloeville!!! …. It is the show of SUPERCHLOE!!!!
Chloe is bad
“I’m willing to bet that most fans of the show prefer her even to Tom Welling’s handsome Clark Kent”
Are you? Because many if not most fans of the show tune in because it’s a show about Superman, not a blonde mary-sue
So, Chloe has been my favorite Smallville character since the pilot. And yes, that means even over Clark, I prefer Chloe. Allison Mack has done an excellent job imbuing this character with intelligence, dignity and gracefulness. I LOVE her! I am actually glad that the show never paired her romantically with Clark, because it makes their friendship that much more rare and that much more important to Clark in the canon of Smallville. She’s become her own icon on this show and I’m sure the writers are unbelievably proud of their original creation. It’s not very often that a character that starts out supporting the lead ends up outshining every one else on the show. I’m glad that I was able to watch that happen with Chloe Sullivan.
For some, yes, she is the only reason they watch the show, but for many of us Clark is and always will be the soul of Smallville. And in fact, when the producers and writers of the show sacrifice Clark in anyone’s altar they ruin the show and the person they are trying to make loveable. That’s why Chloe is ruining the show for me like Lana did before.
I love Chloe ! She is my favorite character, and the reason why I still watch the show. Well, her and Chlollie now !
If they kill Chloe, I’ll stop watching Smallville.
I start watching Smallville because of Clark Kent and Superman, nine years later I’m still watching because of Chloe Sullivan. She’s the best character on the show and Allison Mack is one of the best young actress on TV.
Chloe’s absolutely my favorite on this show, followed quickly by Oliver Queen. I can’t stand season 9 Clark. He’s become a perpetrator of domestic violence–toward Tess and now Chloe, as well. If Chloe’s not in season 10, I won’t be watching. Nice article! :)
Chloe is defenitely one of the best and unique things to come out of Smallville. While I love and enjoy all of the characters Smallville has brought us, Chloe is defenitely my favorite and I think she does bring something special to the show. She’s been there from the beginning help shape the dymanics and watching Clark grow up with us. No one else (remaining on the show) can say that. I also think she’s one of the most relatable characters on the show. No superpowers, no predetermined destiny, no millions to back her up; just her. And there’s something great about that.
Chloe has always been my favorite character, without her I wouldn’t even consider watching the show!
Chloe Sullivan has been the only reason I continued to watch Smallville through out the rocky ups and downs. I really hope Allison Mack will be back next season.
Great article, Chloe is the reason why I still watch Smallville. If she goes I go. And I totally agree with you on everything you said, Chloe is a big part of what Smallville is.
This is so right. Chloe’s character has taken a life of its own. She plays such a pivotal role in the show. It’s absoulutely true, she is just as important as Clark, and definitely more entertaining to watch.
She knows Clark better than he knows himself, and has more perspective on issues.
I hope she stays on board. To be honest, Smallville is past its prime, yet her storylines and character evolution have kept me watching.
Chloe is such an amazing character and the fact that she isn’t part of the comics, same as Tess, is that her future is unknown, she can go places other characters can’t because of the comic mythology. I’m loving her storyline this season and loving how her relationship with Ollie is blossoming in such a realistic way.
I came in late to the series, thinking I’d find the Lois & Clark dynamic interesting, but it was Chloe who really stole the show for me. I agree with the author to a degree- Chloe is ours. But it’s more than that: her fate is undecided. As mentioned, the other characters have paths already written; the only question is how they get there. We all know Clark ends up with Lois, etc. Chloe, Oliver and Tess are what keep me watching – I feel more invested in those storylines.
I agree with the article on a lot of points….Chloe is the only reason I watch, and has been since season 1…I am so invested in her character and love the part she plays in Superman’s life, helping him to become the man we know he will..he will always have Chloe to thank for that….I love Allison Mack too, she’s so sweet and adorable, I cannot wait for more from her…..Chloe Forever….Her fans are out spoken about their love for her, you can see it all over the net…she is myTrue Lois Lane!!!! The show created her in the image of Lois Lane’s past and continue to highlight iconic Lois’s best traits thru her.
She is the only reason i keep watching smallville. The show would be a nightmare without her. What the article says is true i truely prefer her to Clark, who spent most of the series a whiny little boy panting after Lana and now hes a jerk who likes to throw women around.
Humm,what about the opinion of Lois fans ….
Anyway, Chloe exceeded stereotypes and became a legend,
whether they like it or not, Smallville may be the story about Clark
Kent, but will be marked in much the appearance of
incredible character, which was beautifully played by
Allison Mack, and it may take time, but certainly we will see her in the
comics someday.
I definitely agree with your interpretation of Chloe’s popularity. Thinking back to when people were convinced she would later change her name to Lois, it astounds me how far the character has come & changed. Excellent character development by the Smallville writers/creators. Much better than some other characters on the show who feel a bit stagnant at this point.
Yay, Chloe!
Chloe Sullivan is the only reason I’m still watching Smallville. This article is soooo spot on. What I love about her is she’s very relatable. She has dreams and ambitions and she works for it (and not handed to her unlike some characters on the show). I love that she loves and protects her friends (and not to mention the world). She’s the most selfless character! I also love that this character is portrayed by the best actress on the show. I’m so proud to be her fan. I, too, hope that her adventures continues! Thank you so much for the very well-written article!
I love Chloe my fav character in SV, Allison Mack is such a fantastic actress and her potrayal of Chloe is on point.
I LOVE Chloe!! She is one of my favorite characters of all times, and Allison Mack does an amazing job playing her. Chloe Sullivan is smart, funny, snarky and brave, and quite honestly the main-if not only- reason why I keep watching Smallville. She is the only main character of the show who’s story is yet to be written, everyone else we know exactly how they are supposed to end up as. Then again, SV can be considered as an alternative universe in the DC’s continuum such as Earth I, II, and III, and in Earth SV Watchtower is a really cool chick that is addicted to almond mochas, can kickass like the best of them, and is a black belt at verbal judo. She had her ups and downs, but in the end she is always there helping save the day anyway she can. So, of course we love Chloe, how could we not? She is LEGENDARY! Don’t believe me? check up the fan-love at http://legendarychloe.com/
I really hope they don’t kill her off. It would be such a waste because she is really a great, interesting, compelling character that has a lot more to offer to the world.
I’m not sure about the “owning part” because if I owned her, some things would certainly be different. Fortunately there is some understanding with the higher ups about carefully writing that all are justifed from their perspective (sadly I think sometimes Clark gets “justified” just by being Clark making him less of a great character).
Chloe is THE reason I watch. I was turned off Lana too for the same reason, and while I liked Lois’s introduction, her easily diverted attention from her supposed beloved cousin turns me off, in addition to no thought to how she took Chloe’s dreams (when they knew it would have to happen, I question how long they kept things hanging, way too long before Chloe got a good realtionship…and actually, I rate beginning Davis higher than Jimmy when it comes to care). I don’t think it was intended to do that to Lois/Chloe relationship, another cost for superman mythos with less care to show cannon.
Too many times do others need to pay for their actions, while when Clark pays the consequences, he’s justifed for just being “fated”. The double standard does not, imo, make a hero and is not my superman. On Smallville, Chloe is my hero, followed by Oliver/Green Arrow because of their hummanity, they have struggles, but they keep fighting, if with some help, they’re don’t forget or belittle that help, nor go “woe is me for being too different to be understood.” What hope if there for humans, if the humans always have to be less for Superman to be shown as super? For her heart, I want Chloe on my side every day of the week ten times more than anyone else.
I have to say that this article is right on the money for me. I am a huge fan of CHloe Sullivan and it is safe to say that if she is the character that dies after this season then I am not watching next season.
Chloe’s character has taken beating after beating especially by people who think she is still a threat to Chlois..She started out as a Lois Lane stand-in but she has taken on a life of her own and I will follow any adventure they have her go on. Now that there is a relationship with The Green Arrow and her persona is Watchtower, she has definitely come full circle. I am one of the many Chlollie fans loving this season. The chemistry between Allison and Justin as Chloe and Oliver burns brighter and hotter than the main couple of the show, IMO… As a Chlollie lover, I am in my heaven with this season,. If they do decide to let go of the character of Chloe Sullivan, I think they need to have her leave and not die so that I can follow her to whatever spin-off show she goes to, preferably a show with Green Arrow….
Alright look. I’m going to give it to you straight–as a writer, and as a person who thinks the writing on Smallville is actually quite horrendous, I have to say that IMO, Chloe Sullivan is by far the most interesting character. Granted, this could be Allison Mack’s great acting, but with shows it seems that that actor becomes an integral part of the character. From day one, Chloe has always had flaws–that much is evident. But in the end it is always Chloe sacrificing her livelihood for others, it is Chloe sacrificing her life for others, it is always Chloe sacrificing her name for the greater good. She makes mistakes, but that is why I like her. Because beyond Lois Lane, beyond Clark Kent, and beyond Lana Lang, she is the most realistic, and frankly, human character. She is the most interesting character to watch because people can relate to her, but also because people can admire her. Lois Lane on this show is very cliched. You know what she is going to say, how or why she says it, and what she is going to do. Clark is just…don’t get me started. I don’t like Clark on this show, but I don’t think that is Mr. Kent’s fault, I think that it is the way that he is portrayed by writers (and Tom Welling’s monotoned acting, no offense intended). Lana became more interesting later on (and less annoying) but a super powered Lana Lang? Come on. It is for this same reason that Tess Mercer is such a fascinating character–because of her imperfections. So if you haven’t seen the show from the beginning, I can understand why you don’t like Chloe Sullivan: Its because you don’t get her. And this is not me being self serving or egoistic. Between Lois Lane and Chloe Sullivan, I am so much more like Lois Lane. But hey, even if Chloe is not the most perfect character on the show, even if she makes a lot of mistakes, she always does what she believes is right–and most of the time she is. (Too bad Clark won’t see that). So whether you hate her or love her…hey, at least she’s interesting. And that’s what makes a good show right?
I actually stopped watching Smallville back when Chloe was pining over Clark, but I started to watch random episodes until season eight. Chloe is one of the most important aspects of the show and even when she’s always shown in a bad light for the things she does, and Clark doesn’t even get a reprimand, she is probably my favorite character now. Her role in everything is important, especially as Watchtower, and she keeps watch over the heroes, doing the things that Clark can’t bring himself to do. This article is right at the end there. If Chloe is killed off, many, many viewers will have a problem with it and I will personally stop watching the show.
Amo Chloe Sullivan, desde a 1º temporada de Smallville.
Ela sempre foi a melhor personagem na serie.
Saindo ou ficando, eles forçando uma queda na personagem ou não, ela continuara sendo.
Chloe is an awesome character and I’m so glad thats being recognized, she is Smallville to me and I really hope she stays.
Chloe is literally the ONLY reason I am still watching Smallville. She is the heart of the show. You’re absolutely right, if they kill her off I have no incentive to keep watching.
Chloe has ALWAYS been my favorite character on Smallville. Her character is written extremely beleivable. The thing that I like about her the most is she isn’t perfect. She has her flaws, but she always does what she thinks is best for everyone. She puts others first, is loyal, and a hero in her own right.
She has a lot of different facets to the person she is and I think that’s why so many people can identify with her character. Plus Allison Mack brings the character to life so well. It’s one thing to have a great characher arch on paper, but without the right actress to bring it to life you haven’t got anything.
Chloe is the only reason I’m still watching Smallville at this point…well and Oliver. They whole dynamic between the two characters is beautiful and amazing.
Chloe Sullivan is and will always be the glue to the Smallville Universe. She’s the best thing that could ever happen to this show. Allison and Tom have been the show’s heart for 9 years and it’s not about to change. I love Chloe Sullivan because she’s the only character I can relate to, whenever she’s onscreen Allison brings an extraordinary energy that makes me want to see more everytime. She shines and Allison is an amazing actress. I really hope she’ll come back for S10 because let’s be honest Smallville without Allison/Chloe is like a chocolate cake…without the chocolate. Not gonna eat it. One thing is sure if Allison is out at the end of S9 then so am I.
Plus Chloe’s relationship with Oliver brought LOTS of people back into the show which says it all. Allison and Justin’s chemistry is insane and that would be crazy not to develop more of that in S10. I hope the writers are aware that they have gold with this pairing.
ALLISON MACK/CHLOE SULLIVAN FOR SEASON 10!!!
Awesome! I love how much recognition Chloe’s getting at the moment, it’s really deserved. She’s always been my favorite character, and that’s not only on smallville, but on tv in general. She’s the ONLY reason I watch the show at the moment, so it’s really nice to see an article praising her like this. She really is a character I look up to aswell as admire, and that’s all thanks to Allison mack’s beautiful portrayal of her. Even though some people believe that this season she’s become *evil* or whatever, this season, IMO she is justified for all she’s done because she’s been through so much, especially with Clark, and he’s been treating her horribly this season, while she has remained loyal as always and is trying to help Clark, although I don’t think she trusts Clark anywhere near as much as before because he really let her down. Love where this season is going with chlollie, and I’m really missing Oliver, not being in some episodes, as this relationship is the most real, after chlark, relationship on the show.
This is so true! Chloe adds a depth and sense of adventure that Smallville would lack without her. After all, it’s a 9-year-old show retelling a story told in various media for 70 years. What would there be to invest in if you didn’t have an original character woven into the rehashed mythos that the audience could relate to?
Chloe rocks to me…enough said….
Love Chloe. She is absolutely my fav on SV. She’s the reason for me to watch SV now that all my other favorites are gone. I use to like Clark so much, but not this season. He has been really violent towards women and nothing like the farmboy I use to find charming.
Thanks for the article. Interesting to see other pov on the situation.
Samuel, thank you for a very cool article about Chloe. She has definitely become an important part of the show and I think the terrible S9 ratings proved how much they do need her there. I would hope the CW sees the error of their decision for a reduced role for Chloe & Allison by now.
And you’re right, she does resonate with viewers more than any other character: http://www.legendarychloe.com/ —> I don’t think this project could have got as far as it has if she didn’t appeal to fans so much.
I love Chloe Sullivan, she is the only reason that I love Smallville. I start hating this show until Lois came along. Chloe is one character that alot of us (exclude those haters) can relate. I am hoping we will get to see her in Season 10 with her as the main arc beside Clark Kent and Oliver Green. I just love those 3 character in Smallville. Just hope those haters will leave Chloe along and be nice once in your life time to have more courteous towards the actress who portrait Chloe Sullivan character. By the way thank you for your written article in regards to Chloe.
So much word on this whole article!! Love Chloe Sullivan. She’s the only reason to watch Smallville this season.
I completely agree with this article! Chloe has developed into my favorite character on the show, and DC’s decision to not retcon her into comics is their loss! She’s shown on the show that she’s very multi-faceted, with the potential for so much!
And while we’re on the subject, I’ve never understood why so many people believe she has to be killed off just because she doesn’t exist in the comics. TV and comics are two different mediums, and Smallville has already differentiated from comic!canon in several ways, screwing with the timelines, the characters, the central ideals of Superman’s character and life. Having a character on the show who’s not in the comics is NOT the end of the world.
It’s funny. I came to the show to watch a Superman prequel and it got so convoluted that I was hardly able to call it that anymore. As crazy and OOC as it’s gotten, as much as Lana, Lois (and now Clark, this season) haven’t measured up to my ideals, I keep watching. I’ve given up on the characters measuring up now. I think I just watch for Chloe. She’s the only question mark left. The only point of intrigue for me. Who is this person and why doesn’t she seem to exist down the line after being so pivotal? How are they going to explain it?
I wasn’t happy with her arc last season, definitely unhappy with her arc and limited screentime this year. But she is the last thing that keeps me watching. It doesn’t hurt that Allison Mack is so emotive and expressive that she makes every scene she’s in. If she goes this season, then so do I. Everyone else, it’s all a stall before they end up where the mythos tells us they will. There’s no mystery and, because of that, no real interest.
Wonderful piece and incredibly true. Chloe is a truly compelling character largely because, unlike with much of the show, there’s no way to forward write her. The writers of SV have an unfortunate tendency to cut corners at times. There are many examples where they create a situation for a character that really doesn’t make sense and depends entirely on the knowledge of the Superman ‘verse outside of Smallville. Chloe is really exempt from that by virtue of not being tied to canon and that means that they often have to show us the growth that she has. For me, it makes her very easy to relate to because I feel I understand more about the character.
Also, I think that the writers tend to use a cycle of action and consequence with her that I sometimes don’t get quite as much with the other characters – Clark especially. It doesn’t always happen, but it’s by far most consistently seen with her. Even her secret keeping for Clark had a definite consequence for her in that she was fired from the DP. Because that is a great avenue for growth I think it’s given her a lot of depth. I felt the same way about Lex before they reached the point of evil canon Lex. When they were free to write Lex without being so constrained by canon he was much more intriguing, and the things that were best about him in later seasons were those things established in the earlier ones.
At this point my curiosity about how things end for Chloe is really all that’s keeping me watching. The story lines are often ridiculous with little payoff at the end and I’m really not happy with the way that they’re having Clark treat women on the show – he always had some problems with his lying to Lana to protect her thing, but they’re moving him to outright abusive now and that’s not okay. So while I love Chloe and seeing more of her character is great, if they write Chloe out after this season then at least I’d be free of this show. lol But I definitely agree about her popularity because, let’s face it, killing off Chloe in that safe house would have made the writers’ jobs much easier, so there has to be a reason that they’ve kept her around for so long despite that.
Chloe is my sole motivation for watching Smallville. I fell in love with her character in season 1. I was so disappointed with her storyline in Season 2 that I stopped watching, but came back in Season 5. Ever since I could care less about most other characters on the show, because let’s face it: Smallville is not the best written TV shows out there, in fact it is one of the most inconsistently written shows ever.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the show even though it frustates me a lot. I don’t hate any characters or actors, but Allison is the only one who has the acting chops to make even the bad storylines work. If they kill her off this season, there is no reason for me to watch Season 10. And I guess the best thing about that is, that I won’t have to read about the childish Lois vs. Chloe internet wars anymore.
We are all here because we enjoy watching Smallville, not to express our intense hatred for a [i]TV character[/i], right?
Great article. Chloe’s always been my second favourite character after Lex. She’s just that AWESOME. I don’t think the show would have lasted that long if not for her. She’s not in the mythos and therefore brings some kind of unpredictability in a show where the ending is already written. I really hope they don’t kill her at the end of season 9. Her relationship with Oliver has just begun and I really want to see more of that. They have incredible chemistry. Anyway, Chloe rocks and you also do for writing such a great article. Thanks :)
Chloe is the heart of this show. As many problems I have with Smallville, I have to thank the show for introducing the world to Chloe, and Allison Mack makes her the girl you want to cheer for because she is the most realistic. Every decision Chloe makes, good or bad, has had an effect on who she is so you never feel as if her choices come out of left field and that’s because of Allison’s amazing talent.
Clark Kent may have been the reason I started to watch Smallville but Chloe Sullivan is the reason I still watch after 9 seasons! I’ve related to her character more than any other on the show over the last 9 years and I really hope she’s back for the 10th Season. I’m also enjoying her current storyline and pairing with Oliver Queen, at last Chloe has been given a love interest that is perfect for her and the actors have amazing chemistry!
LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Chloe Sullivan, my #1 favourite character of Smallville always has been, always will be.
And I really don’t care what anybody else thinks or says about her, I think she is AWESOME!
Thank you so much for writing this and I couldn’t agree more with everything you said.
Again thank you so much for showing some love and support for my favourite character.
Sunny
you’re right: totally prefer Chloe to Clark. I stopped watching Smallville after season 2 – It was only by chance seeing an episode with Chloe in it in season 7 that made me come back to the show… I’d forgotten how great she was. So I watch for Chloe (and some of the other awesome characters there are! Like Lois, Oliver, and now Tess and Zod…) but sadly not for Clark.
IA with everything you say.
I relate more to Chloe because I understand her actions and where she comes from and I respect her fierce loyalty to her cause and her intensity. Her journey to this spot, of becoming her own woman and her own hero status is long and hard, harder more than the other heroes because 1) she’s human 2)because she’s just an ordinary girl (at least right now). She’s made mistakes along the way and her decisions-making sometimes suck, but that’s life. I’m sure if I was in her shoes, I would make a lot more mistakes than she did.
She hit a high and hit the bottom low but again and again she picks herself up and held her chin high and she stands by her decisions.
And I agree with what you said about the viewers feeling that they owned Chloe, because she’s the original character.
I don’t know why people have a problem with her, it’s not like everyone else in the TV show is perfect and blameless. And most only go on the hatin because Chloe is finally out of Clark’s shadow and stepping out on her own. *shakes head*
Thank you for the wonderful article on Allison Mack’s Chloe Sullivan and how important she is to Smallville. Chloe not only hold the narrative together but she is also the heart and soul of this show. It also helps that Allison Mack is the best young actress this show has ever seen
When Allison leaves at the end of S9, I’m leaving as well. Without Chloe on the scene to lend some much needed intelligence, there is no reason for me to watch. Chloe Sullivan is the best part of Smallville.
well, chloé is good, i like her but she’s not and she has never been my favorite in smallville. it’s true that she’s a good actress but my favourite is lois acting by erica durance. i think erica is not like the other lois lane we can see on the different Superman’s show, i think she make the show alive. moreover, since i watch smallville, it’s when she arrived in the show, she’s like a breath of fresh air to the série.
Sorry for my english, I’m french
Thanks for the wonderful article about our Allison Mack/Chloe Sullivan. She is the reason that I have watch Smallville she is the best thing the creator have created. Hope Allison back for Season 10, if not I will be out of Smallville.
Chloe is the only reason why Im still watching craptastic Smallville. For those people saying that its Chloeville thats not true at all based on screentime this season. its just that Allison Mack is so talented you think she’s Smallville
I love Chloe Sullivan, is the one character I haven’t stopped loving in this series and one of my favorite ever. She has grown, be good, be bad, evolved, become as amazing as she always has been.
This is not only about being an unique character to Smallville but as being the only character that has evolved in a logical way, instead of using lightswitches and non logic like with some characters that change suddenly without a reason, just ’cause the script shows it in one episode.
I love this character and is the only thing keeping me watching a show that is not what it used to be and that it has gone down so bad.
Allison Mack is the most important part of this show for me, thank you for talking about her :), be well!!
My favorite character is and will always be Clark Kent with Lois Lane in second, I do like chloe and her character and how she has evolved but I dont like how shes put on a pedestal and how Clark’s character is made to look bad to make Chloe look better.
Clark and Lois have worked 70+ years to gain the mythos status that they have, its gonna take more than filling a plot hole to rise to that sort of standards
“Chloe Sullivan, played by Allison Mack, is one of Smallville’s most popular characters, if not the most popular.”
I dont really think shes the most popular it just seems that way since her character has the craziest/most out spoken fan base which seems to happen when your character is futile to the rest.
Well, Chloe is one of my favorite characters. I started watching Smallville because I love Superman, he’s absolutely the best hero. I was not so sure about Lois Lane coming to Smallville because that is not part of the mythos, but I love her too, she’s smart, funny, courageous, etc… I could say many things about her. But I agree that Chloe is part of Smallville, she was created because of Smallville. In the first seasons I didn’t like her that much, but she’s a fascinating character… I can relate to her in many ways, I have smiled because of her, laughed, and also cried because she has suffered so much. Now that she’s with Oliver I’m thrilled, she finally has a chance in love, I’m so grateful the producers are doing that. She totally deserves it. I love the fact that she’s Clark’s friend, and I hope they fix their issues before the series end. And yes, Smallville will not be Smallville without her… even if she’s not the main character. All my love to her, hoping to see her in season 10!
I love Chloe Sullivan she’s my fave character! I started watching SV waaay back on the first season because of Clark Kent but I kept on watching and came back because of Chloe Sullivan. Nice little article about her and being loved. She is loved. And what I also love about Chloe is her evolution I love that she is no longer the archetype of Lois Lane. Those days were fun and cool but it’s great to see her to grow into a real hero and not just using her pen to bring out justice but to do what ever she can to save the world in her own way.
Chloe’s always been the underdog and the girl where things always don’t seem to work out for her, which is why I think a lot of us root for her and we want to see after watching years of struggles and disapointments and heartaches to finally see things to work out for her.
je suis une fan de chloé sullivan depuis la première saison beaucoup l’aime ici en france j’espère qu’il ne vont pa ma tuer sinon bye bye smallville
I don’t know why Chloe haters always write in every Chloe related thread… if u don’t like stay away… I’m not a fan of Smallville’s Lois so whether something comes up about her I don’t comment or even read it cause I don’t care at all. Haters should get over it!
And ITA Chloe is my favorite character without her for me Smallville has no sense.
Great article.
Thank you for pointing out how much this character is loved.
I watched Smallville since day one. Started watching for Clark Kent and his journey, but i have to admit, that i always liked Chloe and now only watch for her, and Allison Mack’s awesomeness!
I don’t see myself following the show, if she’s not in it anymore.
In this abysmal season 9, Chloe, and Allison Mack, who is WONDERFUL in the role, is the ONLY reason to keep watching the show. Our precious so-called Superman has become a jerk of massive proportions, and the so-called “Lois Lane” of the show? Is the hussy who stole her cousin’s life, and has like, ZERO chemistry with the guy who’s supposed to be her soulmate. And the ratings reflect the crappiness of the show now. The only way the writers can save it is by allowing Allison to stay, and follow through with what they originally presented. Chloe isn’t just the Lois Lane archetype. She IS the Lois Lane of this story!
Wow, a lot of comments there! I love Smallville and I’ve stuck through even the worst seasons, but I’ve noticed that Allison Mack has shone through as Chloe. There haven’t been that many bad episodes with Chloe in them, and I especially love what they’re doing with the character in season nine! I’ve also had a mega-crush on her since the beginning too… :)
Buen artículo!:) Y tengo que comentarlo:
I agree, I started watching SV for Tom Welling (because he´s HOT),I got interested in the plot and stuff, but then I started loving the Chloe and Clark dynamic and that was the reason I became a SV fan. I think that AM has portrayed Chloe perfectly, and like some say…Chloe is real.
Clark and Chloe are THE SOUL OF THE SHOW,Clark in S9 has been a little weird though. I can´t imagine the show without either one of them, so Chloe should not leave. If she leaves SV will be…so boring and predictable.
Saludos!
I love Chloe–she’s the rock, the stability of the show, imo. Smallville wouldn’t be the same without her. No one knows Clark like Chloe–we see Clark’s up and downs and moral compass & dilemas thru her eyes. Hope she’s in the show as long as there’s a Smallville. Nope, to me, Smallville wouldn’t be the same without her. And it’s because of what Allison Mack brings…
I love Chloe, but I feel is better for Allison to leave the show, lately the writers are making her character the one everyone hate and is nor fair for Allison Mack, and her fans.
I want her in a show or in a place she really can be appreciated as an actress.
Alright I gotta say: Chloe’s okay, but she’s BY FAR one of the least popular characters for the SV fandom. Most people at this point are sick of her attitude and just want her gone. I think she was okay around season 5, but after that just lost it. Now most fans can’t stand her- just the few fans she does have are obnoxiously vocal.
I have to admit that I prefer Tom Welling’s handsome Clark Kent, but Chloe is a close second for my favorite character on the show.
Have always liked Chloe. Use to be she was part of the show for me, now that the Luthors are gone, she is the show for me.
Chloe Sullivan has got to be one of the most unique and special characters I’ve ever seen on TV! Both the character and actress has made such an impact on Smallville fans. The show would not be the same without her and I’m glad she is getting good recognition for the amazing character that she is!
Thank you. Smallville’s creative legacy is Chloe Sullivan. As a young woman I began watching because Chloe had *it* quality, her intelligence, loyalty, work ethic, dreams inspired me. I’m sick of “mythos” & 70 years of L&C blah, blah.. she’s not in it. whatever. Mythos changes ALL THE TIME (See the addition of Jimmy Olson!) Something new, inspirational & different is good!
Or beloved~ see Chloe Sullivan!!
“I’m willing to bet that most fans of the show prefer her even to Tom Welling’s handsome Clark Kent” – I agree with um… “lol” who said that is not true, MOST of us still watch because we love Clark and Superman. sure I love Chloe but I also love Lois, Oliver, and of course CLARK!!! If Chloe dies, I am ready, Allison wants to leave and the show can still be great without her. I wish Allison a wonderful future career which I know she’ll have because she was cast in tons of things before Smallville as a very talented child actress and now has an insanely obsessed Chloe fanbase. I really do love Chloe, I even made this fanvideo about her: YouTube id to paste to end of URL is watch?v=WV4jShtL3pY Plus I’ve made some Chimmy & Chlark videos, and a Chlavis video, and I really do like Chloe a lot. But I loved so many characters over the course of this show and I’m willing to bet AT LEAST half of all fans are NOT insane Chloe fanatics who only watch the show for her. And by the way, the number of people to comment on this article that say they truly agree with this article are going to be skewed in the article’s favor because Chloe fans will want to click on the article more than other types of Smallville fans. Just saying.
Meh. I like Chloe and all, and I know there’s a HUGE fanbase for her/Allison Mack, but I’m a Lois Lane girl all the way.
Chloe kind of lost her stamina for “awesomeness” somewhere in Season 8 I think.
I don’t have a problem with her and I’m not a Chloe-hater, but I just think there’s article’s a little out there on how fantastic she is.
I love Chloe! I do not see smallville without it, and couple it with the way Oliver is just perfect!
Allison Mack is season 10, please!
Thanks so much for such a spot-on article. Chloe Sullivan is Smallville’s legacy on the age-old Superman story. She’s a character that always tries to do the right thing, works hard, is smart, driven, and caring, and makes mistakes and tries to learn from them. I started watching Smallville because I like teen dramas, I never expected to fall in love with the honest, intense relationship that Clark Kent cultivated with his best friend. I related them to my all-time favorite relationship on TV- Mulder and Scully from The X-Files, and I kept watching because I loved their interactions, even if they were destined to be “just friends.”
Sadly, Season 9 has wrecked everything I ever loved about the show with sidelining Chloe and Allison Mack from leading lady status and destroying Clark and Chloe’s relationship for no discernible reason. I’ve come to expect so much less from the show since this year, where they threw all previous seasons out the window to focus on a comics plotline that doesn’t fit the show continuity or characterization sensibly. But I’m sincerely hoping they will use Season 10 to fix this and go back to what made Smallville popular in the first place- Clark Kent being a hero, with loyal friends like Chloe by his side. If Allison Mack isn’t in Season 10, my interest with the show and my viewership will be gone.
Chloe and Oliver are the only reasons to continue watching smallville ;)
I’m normally a Scifi gal and when it debuted it was billed as a Dawson Creek style show for teens. I started watching the series in Season 4 because Lois Lane was a family role model and the news that ILL would show was irresistible. I marathon-ed S1-S3 and at the same time saw S4. The way things played out I have felt shame on my three generation role model but I stick with it because of Chloe.
Who knows, maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and can share with my nine year old daughter a fictional character she can see as a role model when she is older just like my grandmother shared with me.
Here is to hope!
Will definitely take Chloe over Clark. Clark is a JERK.
I love Chloe, she’s my favorite character.
Quoting
“Clark and Lois have worked 70+ years to gain the mythos status that they have,”
So has Tom Welling and Erica Durance existed for 70 years? Wow
Come on people, enough with the whole riding on the backs of mythos excuse just to bring Chloe down. Tom cannot take credit for what the past actors have accomplished playing Clark and same with Erica for Lois. Let them stand on their own. (not trying to offend anyone here)
Now to Chloe
Favourite character ever played by favourite actress ever. She’s smart, loyal, curious, impulsive, courageous. One of the reasons why Chloe has such an outspoken fanbase is because the mythos doesn’t protect her – refer to quote above. I don’t expect her to always make the right choices, no one is perfect on that show, but when push comes to shove (sorry for the cliche) she’s there on the good side.
Best character, imo (everyone else’s opinions duly noted)
I love Chloe Sullivan!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chloe is the only reason I watch Smallville. She goes I go. As much as other do not want to admit, I’m willing to bet a good portion of viewers will stop tuning in.
She’s the best, has e evolved even more than poor kryptonian.
And she’s better than teh legendary Lois, Thank you Erica!!! :/
Allison you rock! Chloe it’s great thank you!
Thanks for this article! Chloe is the only reason I still watch Smallville. I love discovering how her character develops. Kudos too to Allison Mack, who is such a brilliant actress.
I’m not sure if I want Allison Mack to sign onto season 10 or not. She is fantastic in her craft, and I’m really excited to see her in some new projects. However, I love the character of Chloe so much, I don’t want her time on our screen to end. Either way, Chloe deserves a happy ending. They’d better not kill her off!
wellllllllllllllllll I like Chloe…. but I am not all consumed with her as so many are…. I think she is the tie that holds things together… but there have been so many other characters that have shone just as bright if not brighter in their brief stay… problem is not many people appreciate a character in brevity…. I have begun to dismiss Chloe as she is becomming annoying and superficial… and als she is more demanding and controling than she should be… it is as if no one has any better ideas than her… she rules just about everyone and always has gotten them in trouble…I AM NOT A CHLOE HATER so don’t get confused… those that get confused easily when you go against Chloe… sorry for that is sad…. I like all the characters because they all have their ups and downs and it is not always perfect as Chloe seems to demonstrate…. that is awful….. she always seems that she has a trick up her sleeve not that I mind but it never goes in the right direction without some pain… and that is not good…. when we first met her she was great and innocent and a perfect example of teen… and she had some brilliant work …. but now she is same ol same ol…. I don’t want her to die… I want her to get with it and either be a real Watchtower or get of the pot…. simple as that…. all this goo over romance and what you must have if you please is getting boring and tacky…. either she likes Oliver or she dosen’t don’t play the off and on game cause it too gets tiresome…. I think she needs a vacation … time to think about what and who she really is…. after all, this is just a game and we are all players…… lol lol lol lol
I absolutely adore the character of Chloe and the actress who plays her, Allison Mack. Chloe/AM is the reason I stuck with watching the show. Chloe’s my favourite TV character ever and easily my favourite on Smallville. Smallville has/had a gem in the character and actress. I only hope to see more of her!
I would not have stuck it out with Smallville if it were not for the character of Chloe. I’m one of the people who prefer her even over Clark. She’s my favourite one on the show and I think she’s probably my favourite overall tv character too. If Chloe/AM leaves, I’ll be done with Smallville, there’s not enough interest for me if she’s not there. The character is awesome as is the actress. She brings something special to the table and I hope I get to see more of it.
Allison Mack is such a talented actress and I really hope she comes back for season 10. I really can’t see Smallville with out her. Where Clark’s fails to be a Hero Chloe steps right in, she is amazing and I really hop they continue to write her character that way.
Go Chloe!!!
@ Captain Iconic – Smallville actually has more than its fair share of crazy fan bases. No character’s are worse than any other’s, although I think that it often seems that way for everyone when they look at people that they think of as “on the other side.”
Personally, I don’t think that Chloe’s character is what is making Clark look bad at this point. I think that there are two main problems that the character of Clark has right now:
1) The writers tend to forward write the show when they can. Instead of showing us the ins and outs of the journey to becoming Superman (the point of the show) they often make ridiculous plot moves and expect us to accept them, not because we see the development on SV, but because we know that’s how the future turns out in the Superman ‘verse.
For instance, Clark getting the job at the DP was ridiculous. There’s no reason that the show couldn’t have provided him with even minimal qualifications. To go straight from farmer to winning a competitive internship is a cop out on the writers part, disservice to the fans, and pretty disrespectful of an iconic character.
The same goes for the idea that Clark would abandon his friends because Lois went missing. Just a few months before that he was planning a life with Lana and yet, in that short space of time, he was so deeply in love with Lois that he became an utter tool and left his friends to die. They expect us to accept that because Lois and Clark have that kind of love in the future. But because the writers didn’t lay enough foundation to make his abandonment relatable in the now instead of absolutely appalling, Clark ends up looking like a jerk. But that’s about the choices that the writers make with Clark as opposed to what they’re doing with Chloe.
2) The writers don’t really address Clark’s mistakes with proportional consequences which leaves all of his poor choices open ended and takes no advantage of the potential for growth.
I think that an excellent example of this is his treatment of women lately. The mind-wipe in season 8 alone was an abominable act for anyone, but certainly for a hero. Taking someone who is vulnerable and then, despite their *unequivocal* “No”, using your superior power to force your choices on them completely against their will is horrific. The fact that the show has in no way addressed is the kind of thing that makes Clark come off looking bad. Again, that’s nothing to do with Chloe, in fact the show (bizarrely) actually tried to paint Clark as noble there. The act was basically an assault and then they just left it hanging and by not providing some kind of closure on the event it lingers and taints the idea of him as a hero.
Another example is the lack of addressing his startling cowardice in Pandora. The fact that he came out of that experience with the lesson “I should still make all the decisions unilaterally but just opposite ones” completely avoids facing the realistic lessons that should have come with the choices he made. And by avoiding those lessons they screened out all growth. A fact made incredibly clear when it turned out that he was withholding the information of the only thing that kept humanity going in the war with Zod. Again, a fact which seems to only require the barest of apologies and then is completely forgotten. One more thing without realistic closure.
It’s not that those plots are bad. Actually I think that they’re the perfect way to have Clark make the mistakes now that lead him to be the hero of the future. But the only way that works is if there’s huge consequences for huge mistakes. By not showing the cycle of action and consequence the writers make Clark look bad on his own merits.
What’s even more detrimental to the character is the fact that the writers seem to have a rather odd perspective on being a hero. I think that having the destruction of the towers be in *any* way evocative of 9/11 shows a fundamental disconnect between the writers and an understanding of the iconic aspects of Superman. They seem to believe that they’re being edgy, but their follow through is too lacking and inconsistent to make it work.
I think that it’s tempting to lay some of this at Chloe’s door because she requires a certain level of development specifically because she’s not a mythos character. If they don’t give her an understandable progression of some sort then the character would fall apart because they can’t use the trick of saying, “Accept X because Y happens in the future so there’s no real need to explain.” But Chloe’s development doesn’t negate Clark’s potential for growth. The writers simply don’t seem to think that it’s necessary. Their belief that the very name “Clark Kent” is self-explanatory is the reason why the character is having problems at this point and nothing they change about Chloe would fix the utter laziness in the telling of Clark’s journey.
Chloe is utterly AWESOME. She is one of the few characters i love to watch in Smallville.Her charming appearance,her wonderful talents in acting and the manner in which she utter her dialogs, is entirely majestical. From way back when, when lex and lana was there, to me i didn’t really recognize her true significance. But as seasons continues her talents begins to looms. Her role to smallville, will for ever be indebted……..
Love You Allison Mack.
Chloe without doubt is one of the most pivotal character on Smallville. She presents an outsider point of view into the growth and development of Clark Kent to Superman.
She present a new perspective which makes the show entertaining and engaging to the audience. Without her, the show might as well be “Lois and Clark: New Adventures of Superman version 2″.
The recent storyline present a good example of this when she and Oliver Green began to develop a relationship and it give the writers and producers additional material to work with rather than just focusing on Lois and Clark.
Chloe’s relationship with Clark Kent is one of the most intruging and dynamic of this show. From the beginning of Smallville, she had a crush on Clark then became a friend that help him through the Lana years to becoming a close confidant that endured a rocky road in season 9. She helps Clark to become the man he is destined to be by providing a voice of reason and moral authority when the Kents left Smallville in their own ways.
Smallville will benefit from having Chloe in season 10 and it’s only fitting that the show ends with her too.
Clark Kent is the reason i watch smallville it is about him but chloe is a good character iv been watching since season 4 and shes gotten better.
What ever happened to her power to heal, after brainiac possesed her she hasnt shown her ability.
Chloe is the only reason I’ve stuck with this show. If AM leaves next season, I won’t have any problem saying goodbye to Smallville. Chloe is the only character I have ever even remotely identified with on the show. She’s had the most organic growth whereas other characters seemed like they were just magically light-switched into their iconic roles to fit the Superman mythos. The storytelling on this show has been so bad over the past few seasons that it should really have ended the way the producers originally intended with five seasons. However, AM’s Chloe keeps drawing me back into the show. I’ve grown up with her. I want to know how things turn out for her, and I want to know if she ever finds happiness. AM deserves much of the credit for creating such a successful character. Only AM can deliver the cheesiest lines and make them sound real. Chloe/AM really is the heart of the show. I have a lot of admiration for AM in sticking with Smallville all this time with little appreciation/promotion from the producers. Put her on the cover of the next DVD! She and TW are the only original cast members left on the show, and not one DVD cover? Really?
WEEE. AM is stunning and absolutely perfect as Chloe. I love her. My fav character of the show. And yes, much more than clark.
LOL however wrote this is a dumbass. No one likes Chloe.
@ Skauble => Damn straight. Your post says it all. And some of the points you make in your posts are some of the reasons why I have a strong dislike for Clark Kent. I use to watch the show for him. I mean it is supposed to be based on the journey of Superman. But with the way he has been written especially in the last 2 seasons it’s very hard to picture him in a true hero capacity.
In the earlier seasons he was very heroic and still had a sense of morality. Not so much lately. Somewhere along the way Smallville has gotten lost in the journey they’re supposed to showing us. Highly disappointed with the turnout after watching for 9 years. I much prefer Dean Cain and Teri Hatcher’s Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. I have all 4 seasons on DVD:D Anyway, I only continue to watch Smallville out of habit and the need to see where Chloe’s journey end. We all know where Clark, Lois, and Oliver’s journey lead. But what about Chloe? She’s the only question mark.
I’ve been watching since season 1′s pilot and I need to know what happens to her. Lex, Lana, and Lionel are already gone. Clark and Chloe are the only two remaining from the pilot and since Clark has seriously turned me off as of late I’m only interested in Chloe’s storyline.
I almost stopped watching the show during season 8. All the sudden changes in the characters were disturbing. I hated what they did to Clark and Chloe’s friendship. It was unnecessary the lengths they went to destroy it. I hated what they did to Chloe’s character. Just ridiculous. She became a whole new person and Clark just went downhill ever since. He’s no longer that charming farmboy I once loved. Chloe is hella different too, but I much prefer her because of reasons mentioned above.
I also hate how everyone jumps on Chloe for her actions and not Clark for his. He has become the BIGGEST douche ever this season with his treatment of her and his handling of certain things and certain situations. I wasn’t completely satisfied with his treatment of her in the earlier seasons either, but this season has been the worst ever. A thousand times over. And it’s part of the reason why I’m sort of partial to Chloe’s new attitude in dealing with Clark.
Lots of Clois fans see it as a negative, saying she’s annoying and too controlling and whatnot. But I see it as a positive. She took an initiative and ran with it. She works her ass off trying to pull the JLA back together and trying to save the world. She’s calling shots now and doing what needs to be done. Some of her tactics are questionable but at least she is doing SOMETHING. And the BEST part is……….. She’s no longer Clark’s doormat and I love that.
So Lois, Clark, Clois and whoever else’ fans can say what they want about Chloe. But I think she totally kicks ass!
I know my post is no where near as put together and well worded as Skauble’s, but it’ll have to do.
I love Chloe so much, she’s my favorite character on the show, and hasn’t had much competition since the Luthors left. I love the scope of her character journey since the old days as editor of the Torch, and her friendship with Clark was the heart of the show for a long time.
I’m really not digging season nine, especially since almost all the characters I loved are gone from the show and Clark has been acting like such a jerk this year. I really miss the Chloe and Clark friendship and the show has gotten stale to me since their interaction was cut off starting in last year’s finale, but Chloe still keeps me watching to see how it’ll all turn out for her.
@ SJ – LOL. You’re the dumbass if you really believe that.
Clearly, as a majority of posts here comfirm, Chloe is a much beloved character. Has she made a few mistakes? Yes. But she has always tried to do the right thing paid for her mistakes in spades, something the supposed hero of the piece never has. In fact, she is just about the ONLY character who ever pays for her mistakes. Everyone else is simply lightswitched into wherever the so-called writers think they should be and that is something this old Superman fan refuses to accept.
Smallville was supposed to be about Clark’s journey and that’s no longer the case. Worse, the Clark of Season One had morals and attempted to do the right thing most of the time. For several years now, the supposedly adult Clark, who should be acting like the decent, caring, loya-to-his-friends man the real Superman should be at this point in his life, is behaving like a total jerk who learns NOTHING from his mistakes or experiences. This Clark is a superjerk and pretty much unlikeable now. Furthermore, ratings have been tanking for a long, long time and it’s evident that the appallingly awful lightswitched relationship between Clark and “Lois” has driven viewers away by the boatload.
If it weren’t for Chloe, there would be nothing left to enjoy on this failing series.
Chloe Sullivan is not what has made SMALLVILLE a success. She’s not the reason I ever watched the show or the reason I continue to watch the show. She’s had an interesting arc over the years, but her evolution into an ends-justify-the-means Mary Sue has made the character utterly unlikeable (to me). Her total lack of self-awareness and the way she revels in the gray areas of life are unappealing.
What I have appreciated about her is how she was allowed to evolve, because it is very realistic for someone who had a dream to change that dream as she matures. It’s also realistic for a person to experience growing pains in a relationship like the one she had with Clark which was so co-dependent. It’s too bad that the person she changed into is just not a good person or a very nice person from my point of view.
At this point, I really want to see her character less and less on the show. I enjoy watching the show, and it’s main source of success with me as a viewer, has been the character of Clark Kent. Despite the fact that he’s an alien, I find him the most easy to identify with and relate to. Currently, I see Chloe’s character as being truly detrimental to this journey and my enjoyment of it. Therefore, while I appreciate the article, I have to respectfully disagree that Chloe is a success in my eyes.
Yo entiendo a la gente que les gusta el personaje 8aunque no a todas, porque ciertamente hay algunos fans del personaje que son despreciables, y algunos estan precisamente aqui y que se les conoce bien en el twitter por sólo tirar insultos a Lois y a Clark)
Smallville no es Chloe Sullivan… Smallville es Clark Kent. Sin él, la serie no existiría, sin Superman Smallville no sería posible. Clark es el único personaje que en verdad hace la serie. Chloe Sullivan es un personaje secundario más, como lo fue Lionel, Lana, Pete, etc… Que ayudan a la serie y a la vida de Clark ser más interesante pero es por Clark que todo esto existe y por lo que el show es popular.
Nadie en sus cinco sentidos se pondría a ver Smallville por Chloe Sullivan, porque en primer lugar ella tiene historia gracias a Clark, su vida empieza a ser inventada por Clark, ella no empezó siendo un personaje independiente y cautivador por ser ella… Ella empieza con la etiqueta de: La mejor amiga de Clark Kent. Personaje que no existe en la mitología de Superman pero que sin embargo sigue aquí en la serie no por sus fans sino porque los productores inciales de la serie no tuvieron el valor de sacarla de la serie cuando tuvieron la oportunidad de hacerlo. Sus razones? Simple: Tener siempre a la pobre amiga enamorada del protagonista que siempre sería rechazada para darle más protagonismo a Lan Lang.
Porque la gente quiere algo así? Pues poque la gente esta acostumbrada a amar al mártir, al rechazado y marginado.
Este es el viaje de Clark Kent, no el de Chloe Sullivan. Se podra ir Lois Lane, Green Arrow, Lex, Luthor, Lana Lang, Tess Merecer, Chloe Sullivan, quien sea… El día que Clark Kent se vaya, ese día se terminara Smallville y ese día la gente dejara de mirarla.
Si hay un personaje que debo admirar en este show es a Clark, porque con sus aciertos y errores siempre ha sido intachable en la serie y la razón porque yo sea fan de Smallville
@ lol
I’ll take that blonde mary-sue over this shows piss-poor excuse of a Superman anyday babe.
LOVE HER SOOOOO MUCH!!!SHE IS THE BEST!and yes she is the only reason i watch smallville!!i think the relationship beetween clark and lois suckks!it’s not like lana and clark or chloe and oliver, they haven’t such a chemistry than clan and chollie!
if she leaves i will STOP WATCHING THE SHOW for sur!
Allison Mack is amazing! End of.
Smallville will be pointless without Chloe- she makes it.
Allison Mack/Chloe Sullivan IS Smallville.
Without her it would be ‘just a show’
With her it is ‘THE show’
What happend to her power to heal herself and others, after brainiac possesed her she hasnt used it since. If she doesnt have her power any more why? Still dont know why clark destroyed the legion ring would have been a good story him going to the future to see himself as superman.
wow for people who love AM & chloe so much , her fans are pretty selfish, there is a whole world to discover out there, and better projects to pursue out of SVland, if u truly wanted the best for AM, u would respect her wishes to wanting to leave the show,ever since S7, but no yr selfish needs for chloe fix are more important to you……
LANA FOREVER! Lana was wronged because she is the pretty girl.The one who some people want to fail. I get the sense that some people ignore the obvious. Many people have envy of her!
Chloe made mistakes like Lana, but for many smallville fans Lana always was wrong while Chloe was right. The same is for Lois now. Lois has been giving many exemple of a selfish person but Lois’s fans thinks she is right.
Lana always loved and care with Clark, Lois only thinks in Blur, Blur is my hero, bla, bla. Lois doens’t likes Clark!
The true is Clark/Tom and Lana/Kristin was the main element for Smallville success! No matter what you says!
It was an accident that I started watching Smallville, but I’m pretty sure Chloe is the character that has kept me going through the nine seasons. Sure, all of the other characters are awesome, but Chloe has always stood out among them. I’ve just really loved the ways the writers have used her and her character’s genuine progression.
While season nine was a low point, and it was frustrating, it was still necessary, and I am really hoping she will be back for the full tenth season with her back to her good old self. Still, I don’t think she will ever be as awesome as she was in the fifth and sixth seasons.
With Martha and Lionel gone (my other two of my top three characters on Smallville), Chloe has been bringing me back :).
Let’s put it this way. Chloe is probably the most hated character ON this show because of her portrayal and how the writers handled her character. She turned into this Mary-Sue unoriginal character that was only interesting because Clark was lowered in order to up her character.
This is a Superman based show. People tend to forget that Chloe isn’t in the comics, and the majority of her fans don’t give a hoot about the comics which in it’s own way; a spit to the face of the original creators of Superman.
Allison is great, I love her to bits, but her character makes you want to kick puppies. She’s over the top and seems to have been labeled a mary-sue by the fandom in general. Is this a character whose loved by many? Not entirely. I’m sure she has a hunk load of followers, but not enough to say that she’s loved by many.
shes a keeper: the red black blurr
Chloe es el peor personaje de smallville, es maquiavelica por aquello que el fin justifica los medios, roba engaña y quiere dar lecciones de moral, yo la detesto y quiero que se valla, la razon principal del exito de smallville son Lois y Clark, por mi chloe debe irse, morir o desaparecer ya que es igual o peor que lana. Fuera Choe no mas Chloeville.
Lois/Clois fans are crazy..
Chloe ala Allison Mack is a wonderful actor and is the only original character other than Clark in Smallville.
She and Clark are Smallville.
This is not a Superman show with Lois and Clark.
Clois has failed..The ratings have dipped so low even Tom Welling is bailing on doing an 11th Season.
It just proves that the show was and is good pre Lois lane..Cause Allison Mack was and will always be the prototype Lois Lane.So said Gough and Millar when they came up with the concept of the show.
The writers and people in charge have messed up what would have been a great great show..
Now we are subjected to watching a baffoon and slutty Lois Lane/Erica Durance with zero sense of charm and humor.
Whenever I see CLark and Lois together there is this pretense and.not to mention..Erica looks way older than Tom..
I didn’t like Lana too much but atleast.We can all see that Lana was physically beautiful and around Clark’s age..
I think that it is a good thing the show is ending..it has become like a sick patient approaching it’s expiration date.
Allison you rock..And thank you for putting up with the shitty stories you have had to endure for the past yrs..
We feel your pain..
But we celebrate your beauty..your talent and your warmth.
We Love you Allison Mack!!
Allison Mack truly Legendary!
Chloe is most loved character by who? Only by Chloe fans!
Who knows how many fans Chloe really has! everything what we know is that they are a very vocal group!
on many SV forums where arent only Chloe fans but even the others viewers its clear many many people cant stand Chloe! most of the viewers think she is annoying and useless!
And I highly doubt theres more Chloe fans that Clark fans or fans of the others character!
Its naive to say Chloe is loved by most of viewers becouse it simply isnt a truth!
by the way Im not fan of Lois or Clois! Im just fan of Smallville!
Adoro a Chloe Sullivan es un gran personaje que los escritores han desaprovechado. Chloe y Oliver son la mejor relación que he visto en tiempo en la televisión, teniendo en cuenta que la mitad de su relación nos la hemos imaginado (off screen), es increíble que tenga tantos adeptos ¿es que los escritores no ven que son oro puro? sólo deseo que en Smallville Chloe y Oliver acaben juntos (y tengan escenas reales calientes no de Disney).
Por favor escritores Chloe y Oliver juntos en este show!!!
Hola yo veo Smallville desde la 1 temporada ya que me encanta superman y Tom Welling me cautivo desde el principio, pero Chloe me robo el corazón es la Lois Lane que yo admiro y creía que podía llegar a ser, tiene una gran personalidad y tiene claro lo que desea y por lo que lucha es la mujer independiente de esta era y admiro tanto al personaje como a la actriz, a interpretado a la perfección su personaje que de ser un personaje secundario a llegado a ser muy importante dentro de la serie, por eso duro tantas temporadas y les costo mucho quitarle protagonismo. Tuvieron que enemistar su amistad con Clark para poder darle protagonista a Lois ya que la amistad entrañable de Chloe y Clark era demasiado fuerte y de alguna manera Lois tenia que lograr ser la Lois que Chloe siempre fue desde el principio y Lois jamas lograra ser ya que es la ultima temporada y de Lois Lane le veo bien poco. Es mas es tan genial el personaje que tuvieron que incluirlo de alguna manera en los comics, ya que se robo parte del protagonismo.
