New Promo Hints At Former Castaway’s Return To ABC!!

Published at:  Jun 05, 2009 11:31:44 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!


I am – Hercules!!




A new ABC promo features Courtney Cox (“Cougar Town”), Ed O’Neill (“Modern Family”), Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and Dominick Monaghan playing foosball together:



Since Monaghan hasn't been announced as the co-star of a new ABC show, many assume he will be returning to “Lost” after missing all of season five and all but one episode of season four (4.1, in which the ghost of Charlie Pace briefly visited Hurley).

But Mike Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly reports Monaghan will be joining another ABC hourlong. Ausiello won't say which hourlong, but my guess is "V."

Monaghan, a star of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” hasn’t done any TV since leaving “Lost,” save a one-episode guest-shot on “Chuck.”

    It's all crime drams and it's sad Law and Order will last longer than Lost.

    Reply to Talkback

  • Then who the hell knows? Charlie's ghost? Charlie's body inhabited by Jacob's enemy? Projection of Charlie made by the smoke monster? The explosion changed the past and now Charlie's alive? Season 6 will take place in the past? The only thing consistent about Lost from season to season is that each season takes a turn that would be hard to predict from the season before, so we have no idea what the story's going to be and how Charlie (or Dominic Monaghan) will fit into it.

    How EPIC would it be for little old Charlie coming in to defeat evil Flocke? Given the connection that Charlie and Locke had, this would make for great television, as well as tie everything back to S1.

    Ghost Charlie Honey traps Evil Locke.

    by evilwizardglick

    The subtext is Loacke likes to dabble in young men. How else does one explain the cop honey trap set for Locke to catch the dope farmers? Or Lockes continually drugging the young boys, just of legal age, and spending time with them in the woods? THE DARK SCARY WOODS. Everyone needs a hug when they are scared and doped up, right?
    Charlie's ghost will lay yet another honey trap this time for evil ( sexual preference unknown)Locke. A honey tarp resulting in Evil Locke being trapped in some type of hell with dead women for all eternity.

    by symphy

    He's replacing the badly mangled (face unrecognizable) George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy. The actor (T.R. Knight) left, but they wanted to keep the character, and massive facial trauma (as they did on the finale -- George was pulled by a bus 50 feet) was the way they came up with.

    Final Fate of Hurley

    by thusspakespymunk

    I'd love to see the last shot of Hurley on LOST being that he's chilling out somewhere, completely calm, strumming a guitar and making up a rock song - IE getting his jazz from his friendship with Charlie. Would be a fitting end to the character who Never Can Relax Despite Saying Dude.

    RE: Bumpasses Dawg

    by scoob1978

    My current theories:

    Aaron is clearly the new host for Jacob, not Charlie.

    I still like the island being the Garden of Eden theory a lot.

    It'll turn out Christian wasn't the voice of Jacob but the other guy.

    Locke is not dead.

    Its not a guitar in the guitar case.

    Kate dies.

    Juilette is not dead and is in the series finale.

    Sawyer sacrifices himself.

    Finally.....
    Jack finds a way to go back in time and prevent the flight from ever reaching the island.

    Claire was convinced to abandon the child by Jacob and to stay away until she can reclaim him.

    The smoke monster is Isiris, the Egyptian god of the dead who was reconstructed by Isis.
