Lost cast members reveal upcoming flashbacks

Lost stars Naveen Andrews, Jorge Garcia, Dominic Monaghan, and Emilie de Ravin have given USA Today a few teasers about their upcoming flashback episodes. Jorge Garcia's Hurley-centric episode airs tonight, and the actor claimed that a younger, slimmer Hurley will be seen. Daniel Dae Kim and Dominic Monaghan will also have significant screen time, since Hurley attempts to distract Charlie from his recent bad news. Hurley's grief over Libby's death is revisited as well.

Sayid's flashback episode will air next week, and Naveen Andrews stated that the former torturer's past will catch up with him in Paris. The island storyline has Sayid leading a group of his fellow crash survivors to the "Flame" DHARMA station. Sayid will see a cat from his past on the island, part of a trend in which significant objects from the characters' lives pop up unexpectedly.

Emilie de Ravin's March 14 episode will flash back to a seventeen-year-old Claire. The actress said that Claire will be darker in this flashback, both emotionally and physically (her hair is black in the flashback scenes). The character's relationship with her parents will also be explored. When asked about the rumors that Christian Shephard is Claire's father, de Ravin merely said, "You'll see."

There is a great deal of secrecy surrounding Dominic Monaghan's upcoming episode, the date of which is being kept secret. Monaghan did reveal that the flashbacks for Claire, Sayid, Locke, and Hurley are building up to the Charlie flashback. Charlie's death in this episode is a major possibility, but the actor stated that he was fine with either outcome.

Lost airs Wednesdays at 10pm ET.
