Mr. Eko wants to return to Lost
Like most fans of Lost, I was terribly disappointed when the smoke monster apparently killed Mr. Eko in season three. Eko was a great character who helped the equally great John Locke discover the possibilities of a life led by faith. Lost is still an amazing show, but I've really missed Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje's presence.Adewale, who will guest star in the Aug 7 episode of Monk and appears in the potential blockbuster G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, now says he wants to go back to the island. The actor says he left the show after his parents passed away in 2006, but he'd like to return to give Eko some real closure.
"To be able to give that rich character some completion would be nice," he told TV Guide while promoting the Monk ep.
I'd love to see Adewale return to Lost as Eko, even if it's just to play a short game of chess with Hurley. I'd wager most fans of the show would agree. Out of all the characters that've been killed off the show, Eko is probably one of the few that deserves to be resurrected.
