Living and Dying on “Lost” (SPOILER ALERT)
January 10, 2007 by Kath Skerry
Is Matthew Fox getting ‘lost’ for good? Are they really killing off the good Doctor? That’s the rumor that has been running rampant for the past few months. And while Lost producer’s have been enjoying the buzz caused by the news, E! Online’s Kristin Veitch has just confirmed that Foxy isn’t going anywhere. In a column from earlier today, Veitch said that she “…just received definitive word that Matthew Fox is not being killed off of Lost…”. Knowing that the TV diva is on co-creator Damon Lindelof’s speed dial, I’m going to take her word on this one.
But if Jack is staying around, then who will be the next to bite the bullet? You know the Lost folks can’t keep people alive for long. I sometimes think the writers forget that there are other ways to shock the audience other than killing off characters for no apparent reason (sorry, but I’m still bitter about Mr. Eko). So who will be swimming with the fishes next? Charlie? Clare? Baby Aaron (why not, he contributes nothing)? Or will they be bold and do away with a major fan favorite like Sawyer? Anything is possible. However, the intrigue gets lost (no pun intended) when cast members spill the beans.
SPOILER ALERT after the jump!! SPOILER ALERT after the jump!!
According to Veitch, Lost newbie and hottie, Rodrigo Santoro, recently said in an interview in a Brazilian magazine that “he is shooting his last scenes this month and then he is going to ‘disappear’ from the series. He said the writers are writing an episode focusing on him, and they’ll problably kill him off. Rodrigo said he would like to participate more in Lost, as long as the writers have an incredible story to have him back in the future. He said he’s going to focus on his movie career in Brazil.”
As much as I appreciate some more hotness on the island, I could care less if Rodrigo goes. Then again I’m not sure why he was added to an already too big cast to begin with. Let’s see if this one plays out.

Oh, yeah, he’s one of those two new characters that stick out like a sore thumb and contribute nothing, right? I completely forgot they existed. I was hoping they were being added to set up something important in the future. And why is he being so loose-lipped about being killed off? Usually Lost is pretty good at keeping spoilers under wraps, aren’t they?
About Mr. Eko: Didn’t he ask to be written off? So, it really wasn’t the producers’ decision. At least that’s what I read in EW.
Yeah, what’s the deal with those two new characters? Were they supposed to have been on the island the whole time and we never noticed them? evs, he’s hot but there doesn’t seem to be a story there. Yay for Jack staying!!
