The spoiler in question concerns one of the main characters in "Smallville." It is going to play a big role in the first half of the season's story arc. Which character is it you may be asking? Well...
Tess Mercer! Or should I say Tess Luthor! Yes, Tess will be revealed to as the half sister to Lex Luthor and daughter of Lionel Luthor. This episode will contain flashbacks of a young Lex played by the young Lex clone seen in the premiere, "Lazarus." The flashbacks will involve the return of John Glover as Lionel Luthor.
At Comic Con in San Diego when questioned about Tess' story arc for this year, actress Cassidy Freeman had this to say: "Tess goes in a different direction than what most people think. There is a big secret for Tess that changes her life and the way she thinks."
In an interview with Kryptonsite she later added these tibits: "I've known for some time what I am." and expanded "Nothing. I can say nothing about it! She's still going to be a mystery, and I think the part of that I love about Tess, is that she is complicated, and that she's human, and that you never really know. She's so wishy washy, and not in a flamboyant way. She just goes with what her instincts are, and sometimes her instincts are with what she wants, no matter what it means she's going to do, and sometimes her instincts are with wanting to help the team as much as she can. I think that she struggles with wanting to be wanted, and wanting to be liked, and wanting to have a family and have a friend, and sometimes that just goes by the wayside, and so do her morals."
Notice the quotes from Cassidy. Mostly in "Smallville" interviews, the actors are told what they are allowed. It is literally what you hear in an interview you will hear in a future episode. So when Cassidy mentions "WHAT I AM" and "WANTING TO HAVE A FAMILY" are key quotations in there.
What do you think of this revelation?
