Two more cast members returning for Lost season 6

We're a few weeks away now from the return of Lost for its sixth and final season, with the promise of answers to some of the questions that have been burning for the last five years. Actually, there's no promise, and this being Lost, there are no guarantees either. But it'll be fascinating to see where the whole project ends.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, two more pieces of the jigsaw are being put into place, too. It reports that the show's executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, on the TCA winter press tour (whatever that is), have revealed that two characters will be returning. The two in question? Michael (played by Harold Perrineau) and Libby (played by Cynthia Watros). Expect lots of time jumping and/or flashbacks to fit them in.

Interestingly, Lindelof has also been talking about the ending of the show, saying, "There is certainly a hope that everybody universally loves the ending, but I don't think it would be 'Lost' if there wasn't an ongoing and active debate." He added, "If I could put on my predicting hat, there's going to be some that think it's the worst ending in the history of TV, and on the other end, to balance that out, would be my mom."
