"Lost" star Naveen Andrews, who plays Sayid on the ABC series, told SCI FI Wire that he believes the network may be mulling a later start for the upcoming fourth season, which would begin in January and run straight without a break, like Fox's "24."

"I believe that's the plan," Andrews said.

He also thinks the show should be returned to it's earlier time slot.

"I think they should make it sort of like what it was before. I liked it when it started a little bit earlier, because a lot of the audience are kids, aren't they? I thought, hmm."

I have a feeling they might do this too. ABC did this with Alias` fourth season, in 2005. The big question here is, will it hurt the show even more? The recent 3 month hiatus brought ratings down, I wonder what an 8 month hiatus will do.

I think this is great news. I didn't care for the split season at all this year. They botched everything.
