ABC has just released the first official photos for season 6. Yes, they’re cast photos, but it’s still our first real glimpse of Claire’s return.
What can we tell from these photos? Well, a lot of them have their hands on their hips, and many of them look sad or forlorn to me. Basically, I’m not smelling a happy ending for most of the characters.
Anyway, check out the pictures for yourselves and tell us what you think.
Shiela Kelley is joining the final season of Lost, EW’s Michael Ausiello reports. The former LA Law star joins in a recurring role as Kendall, an intelligent and sharp-witted beauty who commits corporate espionage and has to lie to get out of it.
TV Guide Magazine confirms that Maggie Grace is returning to Lost’s final season. She is set to shoot her scenes in November. It took a while for the actress to clear her schedule for a possible return, as she was working on three films. Her scenes are expected to be cut into those of her on-screen brother Ian Somerhalder, who shot his scenes earlier.
Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello revealed that Emilie de Ravin will feature throughout the entirety of Lost’s final season. But we should expect to see a Claire that’s very much like Rousseau. Apparently, Mira Furlan’s not joining the final season because of a prior commitment.
Japanese superstar Hiroyuki Sanada is joining the sixth and final season of Lost, Entertainment Weekly reports. The catch is, they’re not telling who he plays, only revealing that he’s playing a “significant recurring” role. The actor also starred in movies The Last Samurai and Rush Hour 3.
John Hawkes has joined Lost’s final season as Lennon, the wily spokesperson for the president of a foreign company. The former Deadwood star will be a recurring character, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Josh Holloway is going to be a father. The rugged portrayer of Sawyer on Lost and his wife Yessica Kumala are expecting their first child sometime next year. The couple, who got engaged in 2004 after Holloway finished shooting the Lost pilot, live in Hawaii. Yessica, a native of Indonesia, and Holloway officially married in October of 2004, right before Lost premiered to exceptional ratings. The last time we saw Sawyer, he was on the island, whose whereabouts are currently uncertain.
Josh Holloway, at 39 years old, is an actor who is difficult to figure out. He didn’t appear in anything noteworthy before Lost (unless you count a one-off role in a CSI episode) and he hasn’t done anything notable outside of the show since Lost began. Perhaps the interest isn’t there, though his co-star Matt Fox has done a handful of films during Lost’s run. Given the immense popularity of Lost, it may be difficult for Holloway to be anyone but Sawyer. I know, personally, I’d have a hard time thinking of Holloway as anyone but the sarcastic yet lovable con man.
