A Mid-Season Cliffhanger?
Here's a new rumor for you... over on the spoilers page we've already announced that Sarah Carter's Alicia Baker character would be returning for two episodes, starting with #4-11 "Unsafe." We've also said that something very major may happen for Clark during this two-episode arc.Meanwhile, over in the KryptonSite inbox, we've been tipped off that the story may involve a mid-season cliffhanger for the winter hiatus. This would mean 11 episodes would be airing between September and December this year, and then we'd have to wait for a resolution, likely until February.
But wait - it gets better! Said potential cliffhanger will take another cue from the Dawson's Creek playbook.... not only will it be put into question if Clark and Alicia have done "the deed" (yes... THE deed), but it also will be wondered over the break if Jason and Lana have, as well.
We can't confirm any of this or take it past the rumor stage, but if it is true, this could be something major to obsess over on the forums over the break.
ranting Only a rumour... but...
