SARAH CARTER Remembers Her 'Dangerous' Time on SMALLVILLE as Alicia Baker

[@BAMinNYC]

Sarah Carter was hands down the most compelling guest star on Smallville -- and she's right, it's clear that the character was written really well.

[@masterbaraman9372]

Damn straight!

[@AngryNewAger]

She was my favorite guest actor / character! When they brought her back, I actually screamed!!

[@masterbaraman9372]

@@AngryNewAger I was happy to see her back too for all those reasons and upset when she died for the same reasons. That said, I still would have been annoyed that she couldn't end up with Clark anyway.

[@handstand0]

Agreed.

[@ChristinaTaft]

Alycia was so well known in the community by people loving Smallville! Haha Sarah Carter is so funny about the danger part -- it's great that they kept the set professional

[@mjethier]

she was one of the most gorgeous women ive ever seen. 20 years later shes still amazing.

[@ninasterling8757]

She hasn't aged since

[@ValRoyD]

100% agree

[@JayClearman411]

Indeed she has aged gracefully

[@anthonyobryan3485]

I HATED when Alicia died. I was in disbelief and actual anger, as her redemption was so poetically written. It may have just been a TV show, but it was compelling character development.

[@hellomark1]

I was super excited that she was back! I would have LOVED if she was a regular, because her and Clark broke the rut the writin on the show was in! And she was fun and interesting and so great for Clark, and she was great for him! And then they just went and fridged her, and she was never mentioned again.

[@ufokemo]

Same here

[@Pogol13]

This was the greatest missed moment in the entire run of the show. I recently rewatched Alicia’s arc and it still ticks me off that they killed her. She should have absolutely been promoted to a regular and they should have let her and Clark have a long and healthy relationship. We knew he would end up with Lois, rightfully so, but they should have allowed Clark to have a genuine long-term loving relationship with Alicia first. Their dynamic was always so much more compelling than that between Lana and Clark.

[@pepe_da_prawn]

As much as it was sad, I loved how it became an important lesson to kal-el.

[@markx1126]

They definitely did her dirty. And the way they killed the character was so terrible. Probably the worst death in the show, worse than Lionel getting pushed out a window.

[@Vaultboy50s]

I don't know of a single person who didn't LOVE her character in Smallville. She's awesome!

[@Bunny11344]

Me lol

[@JSmith99]

I've run into a bunch on the Smallville reddit, but it's to be expected there.

[@vze21gwa]

She was only in 3 episodes! The fact that she had such an impact in those 3 episodes is fantastic.

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

She still has one of the sexiest smiles ever My dad and I were so upset Alicia died on Smallville He called it a depressing experience

[@defiant341]

Worse death ever in Smallville... loved her character

[@DavidMartinez-ce3lp]

I agree!

[@Psy8ern3t1k]

Idk. I think Alicia’s death sucked, but as far as worst death on the show goes, I think Ryan takes the win. The episode where Ryan dies still brings a tear to my eye and a lump in my throat; every time.

[@deputyvanhalen6386]

​@@Psy8ern3t1k yeah Ryan's death is up there. Maybe Jonathan Kents too!?!

[@mattmccullough1093]

I completely agree. And I think the stupidest death in smallville.That still drives me crazy to the day. Is when jimmy died. I think that was the worst writing of the show.

[@Ezekiel_unabor]

Bro alicia death is the only dumb writing i can remember in smallville. I mean how do you kill someone that has teleporting ability by suffocation?

[@JoezBro]

She wasn't just crazy. She had an endearing quality that made me root for her. I was sad that she was killed off (so quickly), but the Superman story talks about Clark and Lois, not Clark and Alicia. But the fact that Alicia knew about Clark and Lana didn't, made a love arc possible where there was no room for between Clark and Lana.

[@hajime6908]

well Lana in the end finds out about Clark and they have their love story

[@gustavm]

Lois & Clark

[@JoezBro]

@@hajime6908 A fairly short-lived one, because... 🙂

[@vicoregano]

20 years later and she is still my favorite guest staring character on Smallville! The writers made a mistake not keeping her on longer.

[@noles9998]

My favorite episode of smallvile was Clark and Alicia. When she cried after Clark threw the paint on her you could hear her pain of a broken heart.

[@Keep-Believing-Mark536]

Alicia was not a crazy, she was an adorable, wounded young girl. She just needed help and a little more time. Such a sweetheart.

[@BLERDJUUHEARDNETWORK]

She was my favorite relationship in the show

[@darthvader7450]

Everyone saying her death was the worst. It was devastating, but the writers knew what they were doing. And Tom's acting/ reacting to her death was excellent. It's all that is what made her death impactful.

[@TheGreatMerman]

All these years later and Sarah's smile is still amazing.

[@kleavage1983]

I mean she's totally right, their love story was different from all the others, it felt organic. They actually went on dates. They were people with special abilities just trying to be normal. They really liked each other for who they were. It made us feel like their love story deserved to be longer. And she was dangerous. Their chemistry was oozing out of the screen, imagine if you were working on set. Like Michael said, their chemistry was undeniable. It would be easy to think that there could have been some real feelings there with how well she acted.

[@BlackBeltChris23]

She was definitely my favorite. So much fire between her and Clark, made their story come alive. Good stuff!

[@CarlosGarcia-yr5sf]

Wow it’s really nice to get to know the actress behind the amazing character Alicia was.

[@bloodymares]

Alicia was definitely the most intense childhood crush ever.

[@JohnDoe-fe6nq]

Wow she is stunning still ! 20 years later and she is still looking amazing, loved her in Smallville

[@SarcasticPlotRecaps]

She was a major crush of mine back in the day. Utterly GORGEOUS!

[@BradyThomason]

Absolutely the most gut wrenching episode when she died!! I literally cried as a 30 something year old man 😭😂 She lit the Smallville small screen on fire!! 🔥

[@LokeshThakur]

lol you pansy.

[@Yodathesolja]

Bet your husband just lovesssss you

[@Draec]

Absolutely my favourite guest star on Smallville. Alicia should've had like a whole season come back, and while I'd prefer the character didn't die, something would have to happen - I just wish we'd gotten more time with her.

[@selenarodgers5667]

I agreed, Alicia was one of favorite ❤️

[@deaddudegaming]

I don't know I think I like the fact that she had those three episodes. I think if they had given her more episodes it wouldn't have made her death has impacting. The reason being is how the entire town hated her and saw her as a psycho. That every one believe she was one killing all those people and even had Clark doubting here. Then just him finding her dead was just gut wrenching. I think it was perfect the way they did it.

[@leannepritchett6323]

Always loved the chemistry between her and Tom. Truly electric 🔥.

[@markbastings4451]

She is so gorgeous, this was the first time I ever saw her and haven’t forgotten her since.

[@antoinewright1425]

She’s still beautiful man I remember seeing her when I was younger and being absolutely mesmerized

[@caroline_Ravenslayer]

Really enjoyed the overall arc of Clark/Alicia and the amazing chemistry between Tom and Sarah, my only wish is that Sarah had a more regular role on the show than she did but I love the fact that in only a couple episodes her character still resonates so well today, her character, relationships, shades of grey were just beautifully written and portrayed on the show! 🥰

[@EvilTheOne]

As I don't believe that Alicia Baker was canon to the DC Universe, it would've been great to see her in the series for a longer time. I can understand the story arc, although Clark & Alicia were so great together...true love story! I broke my heart when she was killed, and Clark was clinging onto her body. Ms. Carter and Mr. Welling, you both did such a great job telling their tragic love story!

[@kandh125]

Its mental that she only had like 3 episodes but everyone remembers her. Sarah carter was perfect for alicia

[@thomasstengel7356]

She's more stunning today than she was when Smallville was on. And, she seems like a great hang. Her summation of her role on the show was spot-on. That connection and "being seen" is exactly what connected.

[@jedibateman9452]

Love this show watched all 10 seasons again last year and went straight into reading the season 11 comics

[@sarrum7696]

Loved her character soooooo much!

[@nebulous798]

Yes, thanks for getting her, I love her!

[@SepRoyle]

I love Smallville ❤️ 😍 this 😉 show will never get old 😍 🙌

[@juleswinnfield616]

Still stunning! 😍

[@FryCanon]

Absolutely loved Sarah in Smallville and Falling Skies. She crushed both roles. Wish I could watch her film In Her Name on streaming!

[@jiraiyasanninn]

The best guest on the podcast and best secondary character of Smallville. The saddest part is that we won't get to see her again on the pod😢

[@ineptgamer3814]

Alicia was an amazing and also complex character and her death was a complete tragedy. Her relationship with Clark was brief, but powerful and it felt like not just Clark lost something, but we all did. Sarah Carter played the role with charm & strength and Clark's pain was also ours. 💔

[@mbacaqofcode]

I had s major crush on Sarah Carter after her first episode.

[@PhillipeStLeger]

I absolutely loved her character. I wish we’d seen more of her.

[@corgifamily85]

Those dimples when she smiles

[@chrisbarker7619]

Glad you got Sarah on here, great interaction and loved her character on the show!

[@surnbe]

She was great on Falling Skies also. The Flash appearances in 2019 were great also

[@cptsketch13]

She was great in Smallville and really turned things on their head for the show. Loved her guest appearance on white collar too

[@kareemwray6777]

I cried like a baby when she died. I felt what clark was feeling when he was holding her body and then when he went and got ahold of sandman and was so tempting on snuffing him out. Lois stopped him and then she hugged him. I literally felt his pain that whole time.

[@juststevejones7235]

She looks the same! Stunning! I loved her contribution to the show.

[@NoGoodNames20]

I hated how after her death her character was just forgotten. There was no lingering effects to what happened. She dies and the next episode was ok moving on like nothing happened. she was an important character and it would’ve been nice if her death impacted Clark for a least a little while.

[@SarcasticPlotRecaps]

Yeah i thought that too. Was a bummer.

[@LokeshThakur]

Regarding the chemistry aspect, I've heard that certain actors are deliberately kept from interacting too closely on set, at least until promotional activities, to prevent a scenario where they might discover the true nature of each other and potentially clash with their personalities, thus risking the chemistry on the show.

[@thevoiceoftheseagull7413]

I would have liked Alicia to last at least for the entire Season 4. Not in a dangerously unhealthy way for Clark but as a story of love, understanding and complicity that I loved in their brief but intense relationship also interesting and strengthened from the point of view that this relationship was opposed by everyone. In reality I think that the writers and producers loved Clark and Alicia very much together, so much so that they understood that the story, the relationship between Clark and Alicia could have overshadowed Lana and probably also Lois at least in the initial phase of the entrance of Lois' character into Season 4. It was very nice to listen to Sarah Carter and it was great to see her and Tom together again. ❤❤❤

[@jojo6028]

She's still beautiful today. A fragile beauty🩷🩵🤍

[@AnFr33]

Man i'm re-watching 4x11. Smallville is forever for me. I re-watche sometime! Now i'm watching again after years ans years! Nice times in my life in 2004! Alicia, Sarah excellent and beatiful actress before and now!

[@PaddyDukess]

I had such a massive crush on her when her character was introduced

[@tapetwo7115]

Me too. Then I watched her on entourage. Watch that episode it’s in their season 2 lol

[@Bunny11344]

I guess I’m diff female and I always thought Kristen was the prettiest

[@nukiesduke6868]

Both Sarah and Kristin has aged like a fine wine.

[@mclaugsc]

totally agree with Rosenbaum. Funny because that was how I felt when i watched this episode. love is a drug. they did a great job in this episode

[@lindamawdsley6130]

Great episode Sarah definitely brought a new energy into the scenes which was interesting to watch🙂

[@MartinHermans-dw3is]

What an awesome character. loved her and her character arc

[@luanpretorius7496]

Clark and Alicia. BEST LOVE STORY EVER.

[@miguelsilva3867]

I never felt that Alicia was crazy. I always felt she was broken. The way she was raised to the way she was treated by her doctor. All she wanted was to be herself. Out of all of the returning guest starts, Sarah had the most impact to the story.

[@ChristinaTaft]

Haha this is hilarious!! I love the on the set stories too and how they kept it professional

[@Davon85J]

It speaks volumes to how great of an actress Sarah is that in only 3 episodes she was able to make Alicia such a memorable character. I was devastated when she was killed. I really wish her and Clark could have been the main realtor at least the rest of Season 4 and maybe into S5 before Lois.

[@william_eliezer2000]

I'm so glad you have such good memories, you guys are the best, Tom, Sarah Michael 💪🏻🤍

[@ginger00022]

Thank you Alicia Baker for talking about your time on Smallville.

[@5150crazyfun]

I thought it was clever to have Alicia be very different from Lana in the show. Because by season 3 and 4, the whole Clark and Lana roller coaster was getting stale in my opinion. So, Alicia’s dark side taking over and seeing how it influenced Clark was a breath of fresh air. It was smart too in Alicia’s relationship knowing Clark’s secret foreshadowed what was to come with Lana later and Lois.

[@NickCharles1010]

I remember being by my locker in high school the day after Alicia first appeared. Almost everyone down this line of lockers realized we were all talking about Sarah Carter in Smallville from last night.

[@omriu5000]

This is about my 4th time binging Smallville and I can tell you straight up - the chapters where Sarah shows up in them - are my favorite, most interesting and fun. She was beautiful with the most beautiful smile I've seen (still beautiful with a stunning smile btw), she was fun, crazy, adventurous.. I genuinely think she was the diamond in season 4.

[@mrstupiduniverse731c]

I love her, not like in a creeper way. But as an actress and a person she's just so talented and seems genuinely kind and a happy person...

Le personnage de Sarah pour moi était très intéressant parce que c'est un des rare personnage qui comprends directement Clark avec les pouvoirs qu'il a et ce que cela implique.J'ai eu une haine et une tristesse de la fin tragique qu'elle a eu.Clark n'a meme pas eu le temps de lui dire un dernier mot avant qu'elle ne meure.

I did wish that her character had more episodes with her! She's still very beautiful!

[@joester4life]

I wish her character was longer! She was so damn amazing! And loved everything about Clark.

[@olliethepizzaguy]

When you think about how self-contained Tom can be, it's not surprising at all that he'd feel so comfortable to be himself with Sarah. These characters were simply extensions of themselves. That said, it's also not surprising that they told Crazy Sarah to stay away from Tom. 😂

[@ProwlersPit]

The death scene was so emotional, And tom did agreat job with the revenge scene. You can feel the conflict in Clark. Because clark could've ran in there in a half a second and just instantly killed him. Then you could see Clark battling between the rage and What he knows is right and still.On the verge of crossing that line until lois louis pulls him back.

[@jiraiyasanninn]

[@masterbaraman9372]

Killing of Alicia was a sin imo. I loved that character. I actually wanted her to be with Clark more than any other character. No disrespect to Lana or Lois, she was just all in from day one. I mean, the end scene of s04e11...

I loved her on ..FALLING SKIES ..as well 😊 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@lyianx]

Alicia might have been 'crazy', but she was one of the few characters that had a very understandable reason for being the way she was. And the fact that they developed her into a redemption was awesome, and made her death far more impactful and (as other comments suggest) we wish she lived longer. Very good character.

[@tierraellerbe1802]

She was probably the most compelling love interest outside of the main 2 but lets not act like she didn't expose him to chole drugged him and was doing too much but i did love their chemistry 😮😫

Seriously... i had a crush on her and right now she looks so beautiful so probably I still do LOL I remember that scene when she was biting the cup... OH MY GOD! but talking about acting... her character and performance were awesome! I can't see anybody else playing that part. And she was also so good in Flash!

[@cdz30]

Always loved Alica. Of Clark's romantic interest outside of Lois, Alicia was always my favorite. It felt like they just let it work unlike Lana where there was always some unnecessary drama. Plus the sight of Clark just being himself, relaxed and enjoying himself when otherwise he was always so serious and straight laced made me happy for him. Alicia could have been another character that got written into the comics, still sucks they killed her off.

[@BruceWayne-fs8ty]

She was/is awesome!!!!

[@kingsman8475]

There was real chemistry between Tom and Sarah. It was flowing out of the TV screen. I had to wear rain gear.

[@Aven9er]
