Q: Looking back, is there anywhere you wish you’d taken the characters of Smallville?
AG: I wish we had a better trajectory for Lana Lang. That was probably a three-season love story that lasted six seasons.
MM: It’s so torturous and slow. Ultimately, it damaged Lana in the audience’s mind. Because Clark refused to tell her the truth about his identity, he >was constantly forced to lie to her. Although justified, Lana’s response to his behavior made her seem cold and unsympathetic — even though from ?her POV, Clark was a sneaky, bold-faced liar.

I think it worked well. Lana from the films didn't know the secret and was well into adulthood with a son. Have her graduate from high school and leave town. She could've made one or two more appearances after that.

Think having the love interest not know the hero's identity the entire time had become time worn and too much of a stretch of credibility.

Thinking back it does seem they were going there first with Zack saying she accepted his powers and he was honest with her. Next Dylan with premonitions where he kept saving her. I thought Clark would tell her after that.
