The CW announced that Smallville's upcoming 10th season will be its last one, but it will end without one of its original stars.  According to Entertainment Weekly, Mack will not be a series regular for season 10, though she will return for several episodes to wrap up Chloe's storyline.

SPOILER WARNING: This article may contain some details about Smallville season 10 you don't want to know.

Mack is the only original cast member left other than Tom Welling, and her exit will be very hard on fans who've rooted for Chloe since the beginning.  The exit is confirmed by the CW's official press release for the final season, which doesn't list Mack as one of the series regulars.

However, the press release does list Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley and, most interestingly, Cassidy Freeman as the four series regulars for season 10.  The last one is a bit of a surprise, as Tess Mercer was pronounced dead at the end of season 9, but the mysterious knitting woman in the hall going into her hospital room could explain how she'll come back.

Smallville's 10th and final season will be worse off without Chloe, but at least she'll be back to give the character a proper goodbye.
