Lots of familiar faces could be popping back up in Lost, and there are a few other titbits for the show’s sixth and final season. Mild spoilers ahead…

BE WARNED: IF YOU LIKE YOUR EPISODES OF LOST SERVED COLD, IT'S PROBABLY BEST NOT TO READ AHEAD....


A few news titbits for the currently-in-production sixth and final season of Lost, arguably the most awaited TV show of 2010. If only to get some bleedin' answers off all those concerned.

Firstly, there are some returning faces.

You'll have to go right back to the start of season one for the first appearance of Greg Grunberg in Lost. The actor, best known now of course for his work on Heroes, played the pilot of the doomed Oceanic flight 815. And while he popped back again very quickly in the fourth season of the show, his work on Lost appeared to be done and dusted.

However, the actor has confirmed that ABC has been in touch with him about returning for the final season of the show. Again, it'll just be a cameo appearance, and he's had no firm detail of what it'd entail, and according to TV Guide magazine, Grunberg has said that "If NBC will allow it, I will go back".

Also rumoured to be returning is Maggie Grace (Shannon), who was killed off in the second season of the show. Emilie De Ravin, who played Claire, is coming back for the final season as one of its main characters, and Juliet, as played by Elizabeth Mitchell, will also be popping up.

Meanwhile, the opening episode of the show's final season has now been named. It'll be called LA X (presumably after Los Angeles Airport), which might explain where Greg Grunberg fits into things. Finally, the sixth season will now be running to 18 episodes, giving the final series of Lost an extra hour to play with.

The show will be returning in January 2010.

This purely my own speculation now, but I'd have to say the clues points to the bomb going off having succeeded and stopped the plane crashing. The inclusion of Greg Grunberg and naming the next episode after the destination of the crashed flight. It's all terribly intriguing

Simon, don't you mean Maggie Grace who plays Shannon? Sound like it's going to be a headscratching return for the final season. I always liked Grunberg in Alias, he's wasted in Heroes.

And going on what gudge 1 just said I always said the moment they made out Lost is show about a tropical polar bear island that time travels I always thought that they'll end show with them doing something to fix past so plane they're on in future doesn't crash ! Final scene of show is all of them arriving at LAX not knowing what their previous selves went through to get there ! Now that's the first scene of final season it's shows me man how insanely awesome Lost still is ! That and I think what's happen is the plane has arrived but is now in different pocket universe from the one they originally came from. That fixing past has put them in alternate reality, alternative future from the one they're from and that island is really one bug huge giant gateway to different dimensions, parallel earths. That's why everybody this season has to get back to island ! It only way they get back to future, they're future reality, the right one, not the one there in now ! But hey guys, I'm only guessing ;-)

You know the first thing they all notice when they step off the plane that they're in a parallel dimension is the Starbucks at the airport. The company logo still has the really big pair of jugs on her and yeah ... I don't want you guys to know any more about me than you should but Jesus, I need to get laid ;-)
