Allison: Uh yea, Chloe feels very familiar by this point. Although, she’s very different than I am – I put on my high heels, my tight pants, they do my hair and it feels very different. It’s quite a different experience being her than being me.
- PopWrap: I would imagine that after nine seasons, it's pretty easy to slip into Chloe's skin though.
Allison: Yea. I think that I have a much deeper appreciation for what I have with that character and that show. Just the privilege it’s been to play her. It’s like the Joni Mitchell song, “you don’t know what you have till it’s gone.” Because ["Smallville' is] winding down, I’m able to really evaluate the life she has led, which has been a real honor.
- PW: Does preparing to play her for the final time feel different?
Allison: Just that she maintains her integrity. That she really upholds what is important to her and doesn’t sacrifice anyone. I spent a lot of time playing a character who gives up a lot of the things that are most important to her, for the sake of other people. I think she’s finally reached a point in her own maturation process where she doesn’t do that anymore. I hope the writers maintain that standard as we end her run.
- PW: What's important to you in the way Chloe's story is wrapped up?
Allison: I’ll be back for five total episodes.
- PW: Do you know how many episodes you'll be back for
Anyone who is a fan of this series has to agree with me that one of the biggest highlights of this series was Chloe's character. While Tom Welling was the protagonist of the complete series, Mack is the only other actor who has lasted as long as Clark.Allison: Definitely. They were the reason I decided to come back. I was very much ready to move on, and not because I was unhappy with the show or that anything bad happened, I was just very much ready to enter a new phase of my life. But I realized as we came towards the end of the season that my character wasn’t getting a completion. I didn’t feel comfortable walking away from the show, and my character, without a completion. So I committed to doing five episodes to giving her the ending I think she deserves. I do think there’s a relationship between my character and the people who’ve watched the show for so many years. I want to honor them, her and myself.
- PW: I heard that the incredibly loyal fans were one of the reasons you decided to return. True?
She has created an amazing character and is the Smallville version of Oracle, so my question is; why hasn't she ever been the cover of the DVD box art? She has been on the series the longest after Clark, why hasn't she ever been showcased on the cover of the DVD?
Oh Well, since she has only 5 more episodes I doubt she will end up being on the cover of this season's DVD Box Art but I hope Chloe's end to the series will play a good ending tribute to the character.
What do you all think about this? Do you care about my favorite character of this series?
