According to Reuters and the Hollywood Reporter, Kiele Sanchez may be the latest addition to the cast of Football Wives, the latest British television import. Sanchez is currently starring in the role of Nikki on Lost, although she has not made frequent appearances. This does not necessarily mean that Sanchez will be leaving the ABC drama, however. Reuters claims that the Football Wives role would be "in second position" to her work on Lost.

If negotiations go well, Sanchez will be playing an NFL player's pregnant wife, "a good-natured woman with a secret." Is there another kind? Football Wives centers on several women married to professional football players, similar to the British original Footballers' Wives, which focused on the wives of soccer players.

Kiele Sanchez will play "Nikki" on Lost in season three -- a possible love interest for another new character that Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro will play, according to Variety.

So that's nice -- the new characters will be hooking up with each other instead of our old favorites. Probably best, after what happened to Libby and Ana-Lucia last season. But if you factor in Shannon, then maybe it is best for any woman on Lost to stay away from men they may happen to take a shine to the island -- that is, if they want to avoid the Abrams/Lindelof to-kill list.
