Most of the article is just an interview with Maggie Grace but it includes this gem:

Quote :

The producers have been deluged with calls and emails from irate viewers after Rutherford joined the lengthy body count in the second series, which is halfway through its run. But nothing in Lost is quite what it seems - the show is told through a series of flashbacks, and she is due to make her next appearance in a scene about another character's past.

Also if that other spoiler you posted, with the possible surreal dream sequence in the airport, comes through, I guess they might bring in some of the deceased for that?

I was wondering that too, Rain.  Wonder if we'll see anyone else (i.e., Boone)

I wouldn`t mind if Boone did a guest appearance. But I bet Ana Lucia will be right behind him lol.

Maybe if they`re going to do a flashback scene from the airport, it will be a way for some of the deceased to say something that would shed light on their storylines - without giving them flashbacks of their own ...
