Chloe Sullivan is arguably the star of “Smallville”. Chloe has been involved in nearly every major plot line, and has ties to every single other major character. Not even Clark can say that. Now with the exit of Lex and Lana next season, “Smallville” can’t afford to loose Chloe. According to TVGuide’s Ausiello, Allison Mack and company know this too.

“Allison’s camp used Michael leaving as leverage in the negotiations with [Warner Bros.],” says one Smallville source, who adds that Kristin Kreuk’s decision to only return for a handful of episodes as Lana only strengthened Mack’s bargaining position. “They need Chloe now more than ever — and Allison’s people know it.” (Mack’s reps declined to comment for this story.)

“If Allison leaves, they’ve essentially got Lois and Clark left,” notes one insider. “And that show’s been done before.”

I’m a huge fan of Mack and Chloe alike. If it isn’t obvious, I consider her the anchor of the show, both the character and the actor. If they loose her, maybe Clark should think about moving out of “Smallville” and begin his quest to become Superman.

Just to throw it out there. Get Aquaman, Green Arrow and Flash back and start a real Justice League tv show. But, I don’t watch “Smallville” anymore, so what do you think? Can they stand the loss of Chloe? Should they scrap the cast (sans Clark) and start over?
