4/15/09: The smoke monster will get some backstory. From Kristin[Considering there are only two episodes and three hours left in the season, it'll have to happen soon. Considering there was news of Ben and Locke returning to the Temple in the finale, maybe there will be some backstory since they might have Lapidus in tow this time around.] 4/3/09: We'll see the four-toed statue again. Ben will explain why he killed Locke. Miles will tell why Ben wanted 3.2 million dollars. Ilana "might" not have been working for Charles Widmore. From Official Lost Podcast 4/2/09: "Today, we went back to a character I never thought we'd see again. They cast another actress in the role, but luckily she fits the costumes." From Honolulu Advertiser[The interview appeared to take place during episode 14, but we're not sure what female character he could be referring to. Theresa was comatose in her previous appearance, so not sure why she'd have costumes already prepared.] 4/2/09: There will be both a series regular and a "major-ish" death From Ausiello 3/30/09: A series regular will die and be off the show.

From Los Angeles Times 2/28/09: One of the following is true: Ben is Locke's brother. Charlotte is the grown-up Annie. Miles is Marvin Candle's kid. From TV Guide[As much as we'd like Charlotte to be a grown-up Annie, we think that Miles is actually Candle's son.] 2/28/09: Jin will be speaking fluent English in the second half of the season. From TV Guide[No doubt thanks to his time in the Dharma Initiative.] 2/15/09: Someone we've already met will turn out to be Ethan's mother.

From DarkUFO[Is Ms. Hawking the same as Ellie from the 1950's?] 2/15/09: According to Damon Lindelof, Ben can go back to the Island. From Kristin 2/15/09: Brad Henke has been cast as a character with ties to Ilana and appears in at least four episodes. From Ausiello 2/9/09: Midway through this season, we will learn the Island pulled off one doozy of a masquerade. From TV Guide[Huh?] 2/9/09: Someone changes "something in the past, which is a huge turn in the storyline." From TV Guide[Our first guess is whatever Daniel is up to in the past at what becomes the Orchid station is the big change and we get some "Back to the Future"-like effort to fix the past to save the future.] 2/9/09: Locke appears in half of the first twelve episodes. From TV Guide[Since Locke appears in the first six episodes, that seems to indicate that he'll be off the show for a good while after the sixth episode, which is all about what happens when he gets off the Island and how he died.] 1/26/09: It will not take all season for the Oceanic Six to return to the Island. From US Weekly[That was seemingly apparent from spoilers already, but nice confirmation.] 1/26/09: According to Jorge Garcia, Hurley and Miles will "bond" because of their communing with the dead.

From TV Guide 1/11/09: Following up on the revelation in Season four that Charlotte might have been born on the Island, we will see a young Charlotte and see her birthplace. From The Transmission 1/11/09: It appears that we won't be getting a Libby backstory since Carlton Cuse stated that her story was pretty much finished. From Carlton Cuse & Damon Lindelof Interview 1/11/09: Richard Albert is set to appear in nine episodes this season. From Nestor Carbonell Interview 1/11/09: There's a possibility that the Oceanic 815 pilot could return in a flashback.

From IMDB 1/3/09: Guest character starting with episode 8: AMY - A smart, attractive and charismatic Caucasian woman somewhere between 35-42 years old. She is outdoorsy and adventurous. She is comfortably successful at her job. Her love life is complicated and a reflection of her own complex nature.

From TV Guide 1/3/09: Ms. Hawking will return this season and turns out to be related to one of the "Losties." From Ausiello 1/3/09: Jin's fate won't be seen in the first three episodes. It will be in the fourth and fifth episodes that we'll find out what happened to him when the freighter exploded. He'll apparently be found floating on a door. From Kristin[Based on the previous location shoot info about the six in the canoe, we're guessing that they find Jin in episode four and then in episode five we'll learn how he's been surviving.] 1/3/09: Horace Goodspeed (played by Don Hutchinson) returns for at least four episodes. Based on shooting dates and the interview date, we're guessing around episode five. From SciFi Wire[Based on the fact that Horace won't turn up until around episode five which is why Caesar also apparently turns up as well as the news that Ilana is "associated" with Caesar, we're guessing that Ilana, Caesar and Horace Goodspeed are part of the same storyline on the Island.] 1/3/09: According to Michael Emerson, missing "material about Ben's childhood... could be explored this season." From Kristin 1/3/09: Caesar doesn't appear until the fifth or sixth episode of the season and will appear in 5-6 episodes during the season. He will then be a regular in the sixth season.

From EW.com 1/3/09: Another tease that we'll get Rousseau's long-promised backstory this season.

From Lyly[This is interesting since Emilie de Ravin isn't supposed to be a regular this season.] 10/16/08: Terry O'Quinn (John Locke) posted this over at The Fuselage: "There's some question as to whether I'll go the rest of the way." 10/16/08: In spite of the way Desmond and Penny's story seemed to reach a conclusion in the season four season finale, Desmond will be seen again and likely Penny as well. From TV Guide[We know that Ben is now set to go after Penny as payback for Alex, so it's not at all surprising that Desmond and Penny are still "in the mix.] 10/16/08: One more casting call from the first episode for another recurring character: Martha (35 to 40, Asian, attractive. A smart, capable scientist with a strong personality who has taken a break to raise her baby but plans to work again. Completely believes in the work she is doing but sometimes questions the decisions of those in charge...CO-STAR, RECURRING) From Ausiello 10/16/08: Dr. Candle gives his real name as Pierre Chang and is seems to have some knowledge of time travel.

Chau says he knows who the baby and the voice behind the camera are but wouldn't reveal them. From Francois Chau Interview 8/9/08: More casting info on the two new characters: "Casear, a dangerous, physical and extremely intelligent male between the ages of 35 and 45. Although his intentions are unclear, this much is certain: he's as skillful at charming people as he is at killing them. He also has a dark past... Ilanna, a European female in her late 20s to early 30s who possesses great intelligence, but who's also dangerous as all get out. She's alluring and apparently used to getting her own way." From Ausiello 7/27/08: Faraday survived on the Zodiac, but the other nameless survivors likely did not. Speaking of Faraday, his little notebook is full of notes about things that will be prominant in this season. From io9 Article[Seems like this most likely means the end of episodes being single character-centric.] 7/27/08: Rousseau's story will still be told, but not as a flashback. In fact, there won't be flashbacks and flashforwards. There will still be on-Island and off-Island storytelling in different timeframes, but not in the existing structure of flashbacks/flashforwards.

From Entertainment Weekly 7/17/08: Even though Lance Riddick has joined the cast of Fringe, he'll likely continue to appear as Matthew Abaddon since Fringe is from J. J. Abrams. From Kristin 7/17/08: David Reyes (Hurley's dad) will likely be back in the fifth season. From IGN Article[Considering Hurley is off the Island, this tidbit isn't that much of a surprise.] 7/17/08: Christian Shephard and Charles Widmore are likely to be recurring characters in the fifth season with the possibility of being regulars in the sixth season. From Ausiello[Widmore's expanded role isn't that surprising, but would Christian be Jack's dad or the embodiment of the Island?] 6/24/08: During the season, Jack will become more a man of faith, while Locke will be more a man of science. This ia reversal from their positions in earlier seasons. From Damon Lindelof 6/20/08: Richard Albert will be back and appear early in the season.

Very attractive in a naturalistic, athletic way, her looks are only one small part of charms. Precocious, loquacious, and funny, Charlotte a very successful academic who also knows how to handle herself in the real world.

From DarkUFO 8/24/07: Casting info for Russell: Late 30s, a brilliant mathematician and deep thinker who is capable of great insights and has a tremendous knowledge across various scientific fields.
