And Found

Kristin from E!Online has posted a great article filled with information about the upcoming third season of Lost. She confirms Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) will join the regular cast and hints at who Kate might choose in the love triangle between Jack and Sawyer. Read the full article after the jump…

Who will Kate choose? What’s with the newbies? Who’s the daddy of Sun’s baby? And seriously, what’s with those freaky-ass Others?!

Some people might head to the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii, for a little rest and relaxation, but last week, your favorite tube-obsessed TV Diva was there for one reason only: to try and get some freaking answers to this endless list of questions about Lost!

The second season DVD is coming out in just a few short days Sept. 5 and the cast gathered on the beach in Kahuku, Hawaii, to celebrate. So, I did what any right-minded Lost-aholic would do: Pounced.

And so, in our spanking-new exclusive Vine show at the top of this page–shot on special location in Hawaii!–you finally get to see what the castmembers have to say about some of Lost’s lingering mysteries, including the big Kate-Jack-Sawyer love triangle, Jorge Garcia’s “clone theory” and, hope you’re sitting down for this, a possible third option as the father of Sun’s baby’s daddy-–gahhh!!! (And no, it’s not Michael.)

Still, there are many, many more questions we Lost die-hards are dying to know. So, let’s tackle ‘em one by one, and I’ll share with you what the cast and producers were kind enough to spill.

Step aside, “Freckles,” and make way for “Pinky”!
Question: Who Will Kate Choose?
Answer: It Sure Doesn’t Sound Like Sawyer.
Thanks to Lost boss Damon Lindelof, we know Kate is “making a choice” between Jack and Sawyer in the first six episodes. (Can. Not. Wait.) And, well, after talking to Sawyer himself, Josh Holloway–and a few insidery moles–something tells me it might not be Sawyer. Which could explain why Josh was a bit on the defensive (albeit jokingly) when asked about Kate’s big decision–which you can see in the clip at left, along with Josh’s new nickname for me!

“I say Sawyer stands alone!” Josh told me with his signature sly smile. “I love Sawyer as a free agent. I don’t want him all tied up, you know? Sappy. He can’t be soft and sappy. I mean, come on. His stock would just [plummet], just drop!”

Regardless, executive producer Carlton Cuse promised there will be lovey-dovey satisfaction very soon. “This season will have a lot more romance,” he said. “We have been talking about romance, but finally we’re at a place in the show where we’ve done 49 episodes of the show; the castaways have been there for 65 days. It’s time for some romance, and we’re going to deliver.” Can I get an Amen?

Question: Will Desmond or Ethan be back?
Answer: Yes! And Yes!
Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) confirmed he is now officially a series regular, and a little birdie told me William Mapother was in Hawaii last week–and he exactly wasn’t sipping mai tais by the pool, but rather, he was working his wonderfully creepy Ethan magic. Love it.

I was hoping Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond) would join the regular cast, he is one of my favorite characters on the show. Also William Mapother (Ethan) returning could be interesting, my money is on a Henry Gale flashback episode.

Question: Did the Hatch really explode?
Answer: Yes!
Simply put in the words of executive producer Bryan Burk: “The Hatch is gone. Done. We have new sets that have been built on our soundstage, so it’s a whole new world for you.”

I will miss the hatch but I bet the new sets will be interesting and I am sure there will be a few more Dharma facilities explored this season.
