The Vancouver-shot WB series, "Smallville" toyed with us all season with one questionwill Clark Kent and Lana Lang hook up? With fans itching for more, they might get their chance in this year's two-part season finale. The shows will air Tuesday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 20 at 9 p.m./ET on the WB.

But before the Vancouver-born-and-raised Kristin Kreuk reveals whether that's a rumor or not, what is it about "Smallville" that keeps audiences glued to their television every week? "I think that the show appeals to so many different types of people," she explains. "There are various elements to it. Heart and soul. Romance. The show deals with family relationships that appeals to all different ages and races."

On the show, Lana lost her parents, her boyfriend, her horse almost and her childhood friend. Why does this keep happening to her? "A lot of it is just bad luck on her part," says the 20-year-old, who now owns a condo. "I feel so terribly for her. The poor girl. She tries desperately hard to stop that from happening, but it doesn't seem to stop at all. She's going to have to grow a lot."

It does show that Lana is strong. "Most people would have just broken down," she says. "And she does that every once in a while, but she tries not to. She's lucky that she has people like Clark (Tom Welling) to help her carry that burden."

Lana must be stupid. She has to know Clark is an alien. "Lana is suspicious about him," she reveals. "She isn't like Chloe Sullivan in the sense that she doesn't think about all the weird stuff things that go on in 'Smallville.' Lana wouldn't question whether or not he was human. I think she just sees him as a sexy guy."

Will she learn of Clark's secret in the future? "Anything is a possibility," she says. "He does have a heavy secret he can't share with her. I don't know what the writers plans are for that, but maybe a couple of seasons down the line, she'll learn."

People think Lana and Kreuk are major babes. She laughs. "Well, I don't know. I can't think about it. It's flattery, I guess." She laughs more.

In cyber world, "Smallville" fan sites are buzzing even more lately on the message boards with rumors and spoilers. Kreuk talks about show feedback. "I don't have the internet right now. I moved out recently and I don't have it up and running yet. I don't have cable either. So I'm kind of disconnected from the world. It's kind of nice not to get feedback. It's important to get feedback, but it should be from people you know and respect. People that care about you." The show struggled in its first season, but now, it's the WB's top-rated show.

Check this out. She digs hip hop music. "I'm into all types of music actually," she admits. "I go through phases, but I do enjoy The Roots and A Tribe Called Quest. My music collection is very eclectic."

Born to a Chinese mother and a Dutch father, Kreuk went to college for forensic pathology. What? Why forensic pathology? "I wanted to be a forensic scientist," she laughs. "I was interested in the problem solving aspect to it. That you could go to a crime scene and find out how someone got into a house. Or how someone was killed. I thought it was an interesting field and I still do." Imagine Kreuk a forensic scientist.

In her final year, her drama teacher told her to audition for Fox channel's "Edgemont" in which she garnered the role of Laurel Yeung, a Chinese Canadian high school student. Then, she landed "Smallville" and a fresh new look at Snow White in the ABC's television movie.

The beauty with dimples and a simple smile charms magazine covers worldwide. She's also in the Neutrogena club with notable veterans, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Kreuk feels commercials are a very different world. "There are long days of feeling really giddy and hyper. They splash your face or something and the water has to go in the right direction. I'm really bad at it."

What does the future hold for Kreuk? Professionally, she sees herself growing and doing more work she's proud of. "Most actors are, but I'm overly critical. Normally, I'm not that happy with the work that I've done. There's this actor part of me that knows I can do a great job." She plans to travel more and visit New York in the near future.

Now the question we've all been waiting for. Kreuk laughs. Will Clark and Lana hook up? "It's been two years of will they? Won't they? Will they? Won't they? It must be a strain. The show, 'Accelerate' really showed Lana as a character so her and Clark are in a position where there's really nothing holding them back anymore." What would Lois Lane say about this?

She won't say much about the finale except "Clark changes each characters' lives."

Most of us know that young Superman, Tom Welling is married in real life. So what if he wasn't? Would Kristin date Tom if he was interested? This is just a question to ponder among us.
