Lost Season 4 Revisions
ABC is moving Lost to a new time slot beginning April. Currently, the show is sitting on the time slot previously occupied by Grey’s Anatomy. The latter is expected to return after a strike-imposed hiatus this April. Lost’s new time slot would be Thursdays at 10 PM, immediately following new episodes of Grey’s Anatomy.
ABC’s new Thursday line-up would be the powerhouse combination of Ugly Betty, Grey’s Anatomy and Lost. Sources say, this is one of the best programming the network has come up with.
Producer Carlton Cruse has also expressed there will be a six episode arc to close the season. EW is reporting the show will take a break in March, to return by April.
Below is the interview transcript from TV Guide:
Any chance that the first of the five episodes will air the week after that last pre-strike episode — thus eliminating any scheduling gap?
Cuse: No, there’s probably going to be four weeks between the airing of the first batch of episodes and our new episodes.
What will happen to the three “lost” episodes? Will they roll over into next season’s 16, or will they vanish forever?
Cuse: Damon and I remain committed to producing the 40 additional hours of the show that we promised. We haven’t figured out exactly when we’ll put those other three on, but we’re not eliminating them from the show. You will get those three episodes downstream.
I know it’s early, but have you decided what will have to get cut from this season’s arc in order to accelerate things? Are we going to lose some flashbacks and/or flash-forwards?
Cuse: All those conversations will take place tomorrow when we actually start talking about story.
Is it possible that some guest actors you were planning to use before the strike may no longer be available now? Like, for example, Andrea Roth?
Cuse: Yeah, there are a lot of issues that have to get sorted out. We’re also in the middle of pilot season…. We’re kind of figuring out what has happened to all of our actors who have gone on to do other things. Literally, there are cobwebs on the couches in the writers’ room. Call me in a couple of days and I should have more answers for you. | TV Guide
