"Smallville" star Tom Welling was at the Television Critics Association press tour today and spoke with Sci-Fi Wire about the upcoming 100th episode of the popular WB series which marks a new direction for the show.
"It was a really exciting episode to shoot because it's a turning point. I think from this episode on, this show is going to be very different from what it's been in the past. And I also think we're finally going to get to what I believe the audience wanted the show to be. And everything up to this point has just been building. ... After the 100th episode, [this show is] going to be even better than what we've ever done in the past" says Welling.
One major change for the show will be the death of a major character in that centennial segment, though he refused to say who - "When the death occurs in the 100th episode, it's a complete surprise to every single character. It's not something that Lex planned or that the audience may have known or have hints about. This is a complete surprise for everyone. And I literally didn't know who it was until I read the script. I actually thought it was between two different people until I read the script"
