There's been plenty of talk the past week about a former cast member of Lost who might not be coming back to the island for the ABC show's last season. By process of elimination and a little detective work, some thought that the person who didn't want to come back to the show was Harold Perrineau, who played Michael. He left the show once, came back later, and then was killed off in a boat explosion. After that he didn't have many nice things to say about the producers or the show.

But you can forget about all that talk, because Perrineau says that he would love to come back to the show for the last season but he hasn't been asked yet. As for all that stuff about not liking his time on the show or holding a grudge against the producers, he says he loved his time on the show, loves the cast, and there are no hard feelings.

Maggie Grace, formerly known as Shannon Rutherford on Lost, is taking another step in her film career. The actress is set to star in the action movie Taken with Liam Neeson. Grace will be playing a character who is kidnapped and forced into slavery. Neeson's character, a former spy, is charged with saving her. French writer-director Luc Besson (The Transporter) is both writing and producing the film, and French cinematographer Pierre Morel will direct.

Hey, they played brother and sister on the show! How can they get going with all the K-I-S-S-I-N-G?

Ex-castaways Ian Somerhalder and Maggie Grace (Boone and Shannon) are currently dating, according to a story in US magazine. They also spend a lot of time "working out together." At Gold's Gym, that is.

The next new episode of Lost isn't until Wednesday, January 11th, so ABC is kindly airing a recap of the season so far. It airs at 8 pm on January 11th, and is called "Revelations," and then the new episode about Eko and his stick, called "The 23rd Psalm", airs at 9 pm the same night. By then, we will have gone for six whole weeks without a new episode of Lost! If you've never seen Lost, but you want to get in on the excitement, I would recommend watching the DVDs for Season One and then watching the recap. You can also read recaps of all this season's episodes here.

And, if you're like Ryan, and you're wondering what all the excitment is over Grey's Anatomy, ABC is also airing a recap episode of that show on Sunday, Jan. 8th at 10 pm. The next new episode of Grey's is a week later. This won't be nearly as hard to catch up on as it will be to catch up on Lost. Basically, Meredith Grey is a really skinny surgical intern in Seattle who had an affair with another surgeon who is married. She has pretty much spent this whole season pouting about it. Yet, I can't stop watching...
