One confusing and rather cryptic promo from ABC got viewers into thinking that Charlie Pace is brought back to life on "Lost". However, Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello claimed that he has solved the 'mystery', being informed by the network that Dominic Monaghan was only there for another hour-long series.
On June 5, ABC released a promo video of its Fall line-up, featuring Patrick Dempsey to represent "Grey's Anatomy", Courteney Cox for "Cougar Town" and Ed O'Neill for "Modern Family". But one big question was thrown as to why Dominic Monaghan, whose character on "Lost" was dead in the third season, was there.
Shortly after Monaghan's publicist said, "He may or may not be returning to Lost. Viewers will just have to stay tuned." A network insider meanwhile, said, "There's obviously a lot of ABC talent in the promo. It doesn't necessarily mean that Dominic is returning to Lost."
Ausiello has been sworn to secrecy not to spill on what new show is starring Monaghan. He claimed that the Alphabet wants it to be a "surprise".
