John Schnieder, aka Clark's adoptive father Jonathan Kent shall be returning for the first episode of season 10, entitled 'Lazarus'.

I'm quite looking forward to this! I was so disapointed when he was killed off, although it was an amazingly touching scene! It will be good to see him again, but I'm interested to see in what capacity he'll be returning. Hallucination? Dream? Shapeshifting Krypto-Freak?

What's everone else thoughts on this? And who else would you like to see return?

Be interesting to see how they bring him back. Was he not killed?

So is he back for the whole run or just that episode I liked the character a lot but tbh I don't see how he would really fit into the show now, unless he is maybe raised form the dead to be the ultimate baddie for Clark before he finally becomes Superman proper.

He died so long ago now, I think I'm right when I say that he was temporarily given super powers by Jor-El so that he could bring home Clark, who had been infected by red(?) kryptonite and had run away to the city. The stress of having the powers whilst still human caused his body to weaken and eventually he had a fatal heart attack on the farm But at least they managed to squeeze in an episode with Tom Wopat (Luke Duke) before he died

You're right in saying the above all happened, that was the... Season 3 storyline. Papa Kent died back in season 5 when Clark went back in time to save Lana. In a very LOST fashion, the universe course corrected to make sure someone died. Instead of Lana being hit by a car, Jonathan's heart gave out after a fight with Lionel Luthor.

He'll probobly be back in dream fashion or, considering how season 7 ended, mabye some Kryptonian Heaven

I'm guessing that he'll only be back for that episode, although conisdering Season 10 is Smallville's last, he may be back in the Finale in true TV fashion

I have also heard that the writers are interested in bringing Martha back which could be interesting... Mabye we'll see Jonathan through her?

[Sandiwich11]

I forgot about the dream sequence he was in, I suppose that could factor in as well. I have to admit that my viewing of the last two seasons is a bit patchy, I know Martha was back for an episode last year but I don't recall the why or how

I really liked Jonathan and hated when he died Seeing that the title of the episode is "Lazarus" he could very well come back to life (Lazarus is from the New Testament and Jesus raised him from the dead http://is.gd/dbULB) I think that would be kinda weird though and not sure how it would work into the show. Maybe Clark dies or mostly dies and sees his dad in the afterlife and Clark is the one raised from the dead?

I still kinda want Michael Rosenbaum to return if only for a limited amount of episodes. I miss him and I don't really care much for Tess.

I haven't watched the last season of Smallville since Lex left, I hated the Tess character and missed JK. I think I'll definitely be tuning in now though since it's the final season, and the return of JK is like the second coming of Jesus to me.
