Lost’s Five New Cast Members

I thought Lost was looking suspicious when they added a few new cast members, but now they’re up to five! Something is definitely brewing on the island this upcoming season.

Most recent addition to the Lost cast is Jeff Fahey, currently “a cult-pop fave” known for the films The Lawnmower Man and Grindhouse (“‘Lost’ Scoop: Jeff Fahey Joins the Cast”). It sounds like the death of the creepy Tom of the Others has inspired the casting of another potentially creepy character.

Another Star gets Lost

Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan) will be adding to the new cast members along with Rebecca Mader (more) on Lost this upcoming season (E! News Online). This is getting rather suspicious. The Lost survivors will somehow be meeting new people who will appear regularly… does this mean these are the people on Naomi’s boat, people in these new-fangled flash forwards, or new characters as the survivors actually get off the island?

Oh the questions that must wait so painfully until Lost returns mid-season! Stay tuned for more Lost news to come!

Rebecca Mader Joins Lost

Lost has indeed lost Kristen Bell to NBC’s Heroes for the upcoming season (more), but will be adding a new cast member. Rebecca Mader, who’s appeared on All My Children and Justice, will be joining the Losties for the 4th season (Mitovich).

LOST’s Michael Returns for Season 4

While it’s not earth shattering news, ABC’s announcement that Harold Perrineau (who plays Michael) will be returning to Lost for Season 4 (Ausiello) certainly stirs up plenty of questions for the upcoming season!

As Lost fans know, Michael was allowed by the Others to leave the island on a boat with his son Walt at the end of Season 2, but with the Others usually so set on no one leaving the island, it was questionable to if Michael and Walt really made it home.

Desperate Housewives: Finale

On the Desperate Housewives Season Finale, Bree was back and bigger than ever! She’s definitely been missed by the fans and it’s pretty obvious why: the other women can scheme and gossip, but no one does family-scandal cover-up quite like Bree. I thought we’d seen the last of her scandalous cover-ups when she hid the fact that her son, Andrew was the hit-and-run driver who took out Carlos’ mother, but then she went along with covering for her husband, Orsen, when she thought he could be a criminal, and now here she is again: faking a pregnancy for her daughter.

As for the rest of the women, Lynette was unsuccessful in her own family cover-up when her mother showed up and reamed her out for trying to hide her cancer. It turns out there’s much more to Lynette’s life than we imagined as we heard her childhood stories unfold.

Now with Gaby unhappily married to a lying politician and kissing her ex, Susan and Mike happily married, and Edie shockingly hanging herself, we’ll be anxiously waiting this summer for what will be next to unfold!
