Who's returning to Lost next season?

ABC Lost

Some may consider the following rumors to be spoilers…

Lost has proven time and again that dead does not mean gone. Characters have reappeared in visions, as well as showing up in various situations following their demise on the island. As such, the rumors (some now confirmed) about who will be appearing in the final season of this popular sci-fi show. Here’s the current possibilities for next season’s return from the grave.

Boone’s sister Shannon might is rumored to be returning following an interview with actress Maggie Grace by E! Online. While Grace has only mentioned that she is looking forward to spending time in Hawaii (though it’s not certain that she’s actually planning to do any work while she’s there), it is quite tempting to look forward to her return to the mysterious island of Lost.

Charlie, played by Dominic Monaghan, has been showing up around Hurley since shortly after his death. It’s not particularly surprising to hear that this character will have an important role to play in the final season. This rumor is highly debated, but see the ABC commercial that has us all wondering below.

Though she didn’t die, Claire was absent for the entire previous season. It is confirmed that Emilie De Raven will reprise her role for the final season. For many that once loved the innocence and naïveté of this character, the chance to see how the character will evolve into the final season is quite intriguing.
