In addition, McKean also tweeted the following earlier today:

“Having fun; long days; Welling hasn’t aged a day; Erica sweet, funny, a pro; love this O’Toole lady; spoilers? Not a chance; rain.”

Thanks to “Chico6” (Suzanne Gomez) on Twitter, we have a different image version of Allison Mack behind-the-scenes directing “Warrior”. This picture is similar to one I already have in the gallery, but it’s a landscape-version and a bit larger.

See it in the gallery under “Smallville Episode Promo Pictures”, “Season Nine”, and “Warrior”.

How cool is this – lucky girl! Allison Scagliotti (Wonder Twin, Jayna) posted this picture of her and the very charming Tom Welling on her Twitter – love it!
