>if Lois dies then Chloe might start using "Lois Lane" as her own pen name in tribute

Wow. That's a good thought.
In Delete Chloe got fired
from the Planet and

told her editor
to use "Lois Lane" to run
her story under!

Neat Hypothesis.

The CHloe character is unique, i believe, to the Smallville series, so, to me, it would make sense to have her depart somehow.

That would clear the way for Erica Durance to get more face time as Lois Lane.
