On a season seven episode of Smallville, Chloe imagined herself with a fiance. The character was played by Carlo Marks.

Now, Entertainment Weekly reports that Marks is returning to The CW hit as Steven Swift (aka Warrior Angel), a new love interest for Chloe.

Is this just coincidental casting? Or does it reveal something about the show and this storyline? Take some time to ponder those questions. Smallville has not yet announced an air date for Marks' appearance.
