They won't kill Lana. She's still alive in the comics AND the movies. Besides, she's one of their three main stars, and the producers think she's one of the most wonderful things about the show -- they say it all the time. They wouldn't kill Lana any more than they'd kill Lex or Clark. About the petition -- I appreciate those of you who signed it. As a matter of fact, I'm the one who helped start it last year. But it turned out to be not very effective. E-mails are MUCH more effective. Here's a timeline from last year to show you what I mean: 1. With John getting his screentime cut last year, some of us got worried and started that petition. 2. We heard from John via his newsletter (in May) that they were thinking of killing off his character. 3. We realized that the petition wasn't working, and started a major e-mail and postcard campaign to the network and the producers. 4. In June, John announced at the Superman Festival, and via his newsletter, that the network publicity department was "amazed" at the volume of mail, and that he had been told he would be kept on for all of season 5. Lesson learned: Networks and producers don't care squat about petitions. But they do sit up and take notice if you flood them with mail. So if they've forgotten our response last summer and are going back on their word, that's what we need to do -- flood them. Send as many e-mails as you can this weekend, and if you won't watch if John leaves, then tell them exactly that. That's what they need to hear. Thanks, everyone!!
