Over the weekend, Kristin at E! posted a video clip where she interviewed John Glover (Lionel Luthor) about “Smallville.” In it she was asking about the season finale and several things came up. The first of which was that Chloe isn’t really dead. The second of which is that Annette O’Toole is leaving “Smallville.” The video clip has since been removed.

In the clip Kristin asked how they were going to handle Martha Kent being in Washington, D.C. and if they were going to film in D.C. John Glover looked really confused and said he didn’t know. Kristin asked again and he said “I’m under the impression that Annette won’t be back next year except for one or two guest appearances.”

The fact that E! and Kristin removed the video clip suggests that John Glover leaked way too much information ich leads me to believe that Annette O’Toole really has left “Smallville.”

Updated@7:31pm: I just got an email from a source at TV Guide saying Annette O’Toole has left “Smallville” for good. Thanks for confirming my scoop!
