Cynthia Watros by Bob D'Amico/ABCOK, so technically, the ABC hit isn't bringing Cynthia Watros' short-lived character back from the dead. But Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse confirms to me exclusively that the actress will be playing Hurley's dearly departed sweetheart again this season for multiple episodes, presumably in more flashbacks.

"She'll be in enough of the show for us to fill in the missing pieces of her story," says Cuse. "We could not be more pleased. Cynthia is a smart and engaging actor, and [executive producer] Damon [Lindelof] and I have some very cool parts of her story left to tell."

It's by pure chance that Emmy winner Watros was even available for the return engagement: Her fall pilot, The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud, wasn't picked up, which left a spot open on her dance card.

That's great news. I was very mad that they killed her off.

Good,I liked her.I was so desespointed when she died.The flashbacks are the basic of all the characters so,it's always interesting.Plus it's about Hurley too:D

Whoohoo! They were supposed to bring her back last season, and finally let us know her story, but I think her schedule didn't work with the shows. I'm glad she's coming back. So far, she's connected to Hurley and Desmond....I wonder what else is in store for her...

Great if she is coming back! But if she aint, that wont make me sad
