Will Charlie really die on Lost?
Fans of the hit series Lost have watched many of their favorite characters bite the dust since the show premiered. Shannon, Boone, Ana-Lucia, Libby, and Eko, just to name a few. Since "Flashes Before Your Eyes" aired on February 14, fans have been fearing the worst: that Desmond's vision of Charlie dying comes true.USA Today has just revealed a few tidbits about upcoming episodes, one of them will be centered around Charlie. Information about this Charlie-centric episode is not pouring in right now but it is known that previous episodes will help prep fans for this episode. A lot of fans are not ready to see Charlie go, especially if it means the end of Charlie and Claire, and can't see how the show would kill a character who has been on the show for almost three years now.
(Spoilers after the jump)
In her latest "Lost Redux" feature, Kristin Veitch from E! Online drops a huge hint about Charlie's fate: "Life and Style magazine is reporting that Dominic Monaghan has been told he won't be back for next season." The gossip guru hasn't heard more about the rumor herself and said she would investigate it, but could this be the truth? Will Desmond's vision come true?
Lost is known for killing a few characters here and there, regulars aren't immune to the slaughter. Producers are doing their best to keep the date of the Charlie-centric episode as secret as possible, why if not so that fans don't know when the death occurs? Lost deaths have mostly occurred in the episode featuring flashbacks of said character.
Are producers toying with fans and having foilers (aka false spoilers) be leaked so that people believe Charlie will die but won't after all? (In the past, spoilers aficionados have known exactly who would die and in which episode. So having them think Charlie will die in his episode and having him be saved would be something different for sure.) Or are they slowly preparing us for the demise of one loved character?
No matter what happens, Monaghan claims that he would be fine with either outcomes.
