Elizabeth Mitchell on V
Will Lost lose Elizabeth Mitchell to another science fiction series?
Reports say the actress has scored a guest starring stint on the upcoming remake of the 80’s series, V. While the character she plays is still not known, the actress is confirmed in the cast that will also star Scott Wolf, Morena Baccarin and Joel Gretsch.
This guest appearance though will in no way mean Elizabeth’s Juliet on Lost will soon be killed off the series, proving earlier rumors that a major character will be dead by the end of this season. Shooting schedules on Lost allow other actors to take projects of their Lost schedule most of the time. And since V is still a young show (alright, a remake) whose possibility of being picked up to series is still unknown. With Elizabeth’s appearance only on a couple of episodes, her inclusion does not confirm Juliet’s demise on the series.
Besides, Lost is on its last leg next year, anyway, I think it’s good for the actors of the series to start branching out and becoming more visible in other TV projects. I’d sure like to follow them wherever they go after Lost next.
The original report from EW:
I sure hope this doesn’t mean what I think it does: Lost heroine Elizabeth Mitchell has been cast in ABC’s eagerly anticipated V pilot.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking — that this confirms Juliet as the major character who gets bumped off at this season’s end? Yeah, I kinda thought you might be with me on that one.
However, my moles at ABC and Warner Bros. (which is producing V) say we need to chill, because Mitchell is just a guest star on V. But, however much I may want to chill, that’s pretty hard to do, since everyone told me the same thing when tailie Cynthia Watros booked a pilot (and two months later, Libby was pushing up daisies).
