It’s been nearly a year, and diehard LOSTies are are still curious to see what the Oceanic castaways are up to. Last month, Entertainment Weekly dedicated their March 18thcover to “Life After LOST,” and provided some insight as to where the actors and show creators are now and when they might return to a small or large screen near you. Although it will never be the same, we will always have the island – and the excitement of new projects keeps us glued to the internet.
The big news (and when I say big, I mean nearly 9 months worth of BIG) is Evangeline Lilly’s pregnancy.
This is the first child for Evangeline [Freckles, uh, I mean Kate], 31, and boyfriend NormanKali (who reportedly worked as a production assistant on LOST). Lilly’s estimated delivery date is late June. "I'm definitely planning on taking a break for a little while," she said. "I consider acting a day job – it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all." Still the face of L’Oreal, Lilly will appear with Hugh Jackman in the sci-fi sports motion picture Real Steal, a futuristic drama that hits theaters in October where 2,000-pound robots that look like humans do battle.
Here’s what your other favorites are up to:
