Maggie Grace will return to LOST...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a spoiler, but you can't say you didn't expect it, so get over it.

Maggie Grace is returning to the final season of LOST as Shannon Rutherford. She was one of the original cast members but her character died in season 2. The show's executive producer and mastermind, Carlton Cuse says "We're really excited about having her back on the show and we have a good story for her."

Other cast mates who will return later in the season are Michael Perrineau as Michael and Cynthia Watros as Libby. No word yet on how they plan on treating Walt. Surely they won't just ignore him. Surely...

Brand new promo shot for season 6 of LOST

With the last season of LOST premiering on ABC less than a month away (on February 2nd), THR sat down to talk to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse about their hit show. Read some highlights below (including the fact that Ian Sommerhalder and Dominic Monaghan will return), and be sure to read the full interview on THR HERE.

Lindelof: The definitive edition of "Lost" ends this May on ABC, and that is the story that we have to tell. It has a beginning, middle and end. That ending will not have cliffhangers, or be set up in such a way that people will be saying, "Clearly they're going to make more of these."

Cuse: We feel tonally it's most similar to the first season of the show. We're employing a different narrative device, which we feel is creating some emotional and heartfelt stories, and we want the audience to have a chance in the final season to remember the entire history of the show. So we have actors coming back like Dominic [Monaghan] and Ian [Sommerhalder]. We're hoping to achieve a circularity of the entire journey so the ending is reminiscent of the beginning.

Lindelof: Look, it would be nice to look back and say, "We love every episode of 'Lost,' and every episode turned out the way we wanted it to." There are shitty episodes of "Lost" that we wish we had never written. But had we not written them we would be in a different situation now, because we ran out of ideas, we stalled, then the network realized what we had been saying from early on -- that "Lost" needed an end date. And now here we are six years later on broadcast with a show that is -- not what it once was [in the ratings] -- but still performing, and we're ending it on our own terms because we had shitty episodes.
