That Big Character Death: It's Shelby
Surely you've heard the hints about a major character dying in an upcoming episode of Smallville.

KryptonSite can now EXCLUSIVELY confirm who that will be. It's not who the trailers make it look like it will be... but instead, it's another very beloved member of the cast who's appeared in several episodes....

Who is it?

It's Shelby. As in Shelby, the dog.

Yes, the Smallville powers-that-be are pulling the bait and switch on us yet again. "Will it be Lionel at last?" you think. Nope. Nor is it Chloe, or Lana, or Lois, or anyone. It's THE DOG.

The behind-the-scenes reasoning for this is that Bud the Dog, who had been the famous "Air Bud" of the movies, is getting a bit old and his trainers felt it was time to finally retire.

Shelby made his first appearance in Season 4's Smallville episode "Krypto." He's been a fixture of the show ever since.

The big doggie death episode, "Descent," airs on April 17.
