Smashing news from Comic Con as the Lost producers unveiled Harold Perrineau to Lost Fanatics as it was announced the character of Michael Dawson is coming back as a series regular.Michael left the island at the end of Season 2 after striking a deal with The Others to allow him and son Walt safe passage off the island - in exchange for betraying 4 of his closest friends. The news that fans have been waiting for is now in as Michael makes his long awaited comeback to this wonderful show.
It was not confirmed whether Michael will just appear in flashbacks and flash forwards but his status as a regular would indicate he will see action on the island. We predict and hope that Michael will be made to face the music on the island. Which begs the question of whether The Others really let him and Walt escape in the first place.
Interestingly no news on Walt's current status - he popped up in the Season 3 finale (seemingly as an illusion) but his return will depend very much on the storyline. Despite the actor's aging and growth spurt, we really hope they bring back this character - arguably one of the most important in the whole show due to his unique abilities and understanding of the island.
Other news from Comic Con:
- We will see a Danielle Rousseau flashback - Yay!
- This season will see a mixture of flashforwards and flashbacks.
- Libby's story will be completed.
- Jack and Claire's relationship will be explored further - it has been strongly hinted they share the same father.
- The ending of the season 3 finale (Jack and Kate) will not be the ending of the entire show - there is more to come following Jack's apparent breakdown.
- There is some major trouble heading for the island - the newcomers will make The Others look like 'humanitarians.'
As you can probably we are very excited about these developments - watch this space for more news as it arrives!
