Each character plays different roles and significance with Clark or Lex. The problem is lana's only role in the show is Clark's love interest and because they want to make her an important character on the show they have never allowed this love to happen without secrets and lies because then Lana would just move into some "wife sitting at home" role since she has no other importance. Thats why we have this back and forth Clana so that Lana seems to play an important role on the show this way. The writers are just trying to force her into the story too much because really she is not an important character and the show becomes backwards many times with the 2 main characters revolving around this unimportant supporting character. The key to "fixing" the show and its Clana problems is for lana to move into the role she should be in, which is either off the show all together or with clark (as a friend or love interest doesn't matter either way).
Anyways thats my whole long drawn out analysis thank you if you read this far lol.

Her own story arcs are weird and do nothing to make viewers identify with her. Her character is needy and rather humorless. Even Lex is funnier.
The problem with Clana, as I see it, is that it keeps resurfacing and it makes Clark, the hero of the show, into a pathetic wuss. At this late stage, he's already transitioning into being Superman, but he keeps being dragged down by Clana. Being held back is ok. It creates dynamic tension for the story. But, being dragged down again by Clana, people will go "Hey, haven't we seen this before? Boring!!!!"
