EW Exclusive: Michelle Rodriguez Returning to LOST

This came in today...

Multiple sources have confirmed to Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello exclusively that Michelle Rodriguez (a.k.a. Ana Lucia) is returning to Lost for one episode in the new season.

Details of her comeback are, not surprisingly, shrouded in secrecy, but here's what Entertainment Weekly can tell you:

Rodriguez is back for one episode, most likely this season's second. As a result, the risk to Hawaii's roadways is said to be minimal.

Given that Ana Lucia's bullet-riddled body is probably entering the final stage of rigor mortis, conventional Lost wisdom (if there is such a thing) suggests she'll be appear in someone's flashback or via hallucination. The fact that Cheech Marin is also on the guest list for eppy 2, suggests that it's most likely the latter and the person seeing dead people is Hurley. There's also this theory, put forth by EW's own Doc Jensen: "Maybe Ana Lucia busted L.A.-based Ghost Hustler Miles during her pre-crash LAPD days, and now the freighter folkster is seeing visions of the late Tailie on the Island!"

Rodriguez' return follows last season's "resurrection" of fellow doomed tailie Cynthia Watros (Libby), who appeared in a vision to Michael. Could Mr. Eko next, thus completing, as Jensen jests, the Busted Tailie Storyline Redemption Tour?"

Thanks to EW for the alert.

Spoilery?

I see hyperform's point, but I don't think the line was crossed here. Since the episodes where Boone kept popping in visions, the audience should have been getting conditioned to know that the "death" of a character does not necessarily mean the "end" of a character.

I've always been mildly disappointed we HAVEN'T seen Ana Lucia, since her absence seemed to stem from the actresses real-life legal troubles. This I found to be an intrusion of reality into the fantasy that is Lost. (Yes, folks - it's fiction.)

I hope they will bring back Eko "in the flesh" this season, if only in a vision. I hope the chess playing tease with Hurley means that he will, indeed, be back soon.

This is kinda spoilery, are you sure right here on the front page is where this belongs? To this day I regret finding out that Harold Perrineau was returning, it ruined what could have been a big surprise.
