ABC Adds Hours To Lost

ABC has added more hours to the final two seasons of its SF drama Lost, whose current season was cut short by the writers' strike, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each, not 16 as previously planned.

The strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to part two of the season finale that airs May 29.

For the upcoming season finale, show co-creator Damon Lindelof promised a more action-driven cliffhanger instead of the mind-bending flash-forward time shift that stunned fans last season.

Lindelof declined to say whether the flash-forwards will continue, but did leave open the possibility of the show's main story line on the island catching up with the flash-forwards that have taken place on the mainland this season.

As for the series finale in 2010, Lindelof told the trade paper that he and executive producer Carlton Cuse plan to "go into hiding for many, many months" at an "undisclosed location."

Dead Returning To 'Lost' This Season

By MICHAEL HINMAN
Aug-25-2008

This story contains MINOR SPOILERS for the upcoming season of "Lost."

Someone call Haley Joel Osment because fans of ABC's "Lost" are seeing dead people.

Michael Ausiello over at Entertainment Weekly says Michelle Rodriguez, who played police officer Ana Lucia before getting blown away by Michael, is coming back for one episode, likely the second of the season.

Rodriguez was one of several cast members of the show that seemed to run into problems with police while shooting in Hawaii, and also seemed to be part of the same group of actors who found their characters facing surprising deaths soon after, although producers claim the timing between DUIs and death were just coincidental.

How Ana Lucia will return since she seemed pretty dead is not certain, but Ausiello is speculating that it would like come through a flashback or even a hallucination. Don't forget that Hurley has been seeing dead people for quite some time, and there is enough to believe that the episode Rodriguez appears in could be centered on Hurley since Cheech Marin also is listed as a guest star that week.

Rodriguez has been busy since her 24-episode stint on "Lost" ended in 2006 including a return to the Fast and Furious franchise with a 2009 sequel already in post-production as well as playing Trudy Chacon in James Cameron's highly anticipated "Avatar," due to be released next year.

"Lost" premieres next winter in ABC.
