John Glover and Annette O’toole
So I bought the Smallville Magazine the other day, and I saw a lot of interesting things in there. If you like anything to do with Smallville, it’s a really good thing to pick up. One of the most interesting things in there was an interview between John Glover and Annette O’toole. In the interview, they spoke about their characters’ relationship, and how it has built over the last year or so. I found it very interesting, as in my opinion, you could look at the situation two ways. Ever since John Schneider’s character, Jonathan, was killed off, Martha has had to deal with his death, and that has been very hard on her. She swore that she and Lionel would never be more than friends, because to her, that would be like his death was in vain, and she would be betraying him. However, as things have progressed, as her and Lionel spent so much time together, when she took the spot of senator, she began to realize, whether she wants to admit it or not, how well suited she and Lionel are for each other. So the question is, would being with Lionel, really be betraying the memory of Jonathan? Well, my opinion about it is sort of mixed. I understand how people could see any romantic involvement with him as betrayal, because of how much Jonathan hated Lionel, and the last conversation that they had together. However, Martha deserves to be happy, and Jonathan always wanted the best for her, and they are so very well suited together. It all really depends on how you look at it, I think. We’ll just have to wait and see how the writers unravel the situation in the coming weeks.
