by Michael Ausiello
Team Darlton is on the prowl for an “interesting” actor in his 30s to 40s to
play…
Seamus: A scientist with some physicality to him, this guy’s not afraid to
take charge and give orders. Recurring potential.
Casting suggestions? Theories as to who Seamus really is? Head to the
comments!

Question: What can you tell me about J.J. Abrams’ new NBC spy series? —Keith
Ausiello: I can tell you that despite reports to the contrary, it is not a
drama. “The truth is, it’s more of a comedy with drama and action than a
straight drama,” says Abrams of the project, which revolves around a married
couple who moonlight as secret agents. “It’s certainly sweeter and more fun
in tone than Alias was.”
Ian Somerhalder is joining The CW's pilot "Vampire Diaries," and
will
play a smug vampire named Damon who can have split second mood changes,Daily
Variety http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118001672.html?categoryid=14&cs=1
reports. Somerhalder previously played Boone on ABC's "Lost." The
CW
pilot also tapped Zach Roerig to play a jock named Matt, and Kayla Ewell to
play his sister, Variety says.
From tvguide.com: The extended
trailer from Lost's
forthcoming fifth season is upon us — and those crafty folks over at ABC
have created yet another mystery to add to the laundry list by flashing
a subliminal message twice (at the 1:34 and 2:25 mark) within the video set
to The Fray's new video for "You Found Me."
The split second image flashed is a logo for
Ajira Airways which consists of a roaring tiger atop a flaming sun (and
as with Oceanic, a teaser site has been created).
The trailer consists of footage for last season as well as a few select
snippets from the upcoming Season 5 including Sawyer and Juliet holding
hands and Desmond and Penny in bed. See the video
here.
Lost returns on Jan 31st at 9 pm ET/PT. ABC will air a recap special at 8 pm
ET/PT on Jan 31st and will also air the two hour third season finale on Wed Jan
30th at 9 pm ET/PT.
ABC has announced that the airing of the third season finale next
Wednesday night will be an "enhanced" airing, with the bottom third
of the screen being filled with factoids, trivia, and back story
to "enhance" the experience of watching a repeat. It airs at 9 pm
ET/PT on Wednesday, Jan 30th. ABC will also have a recap special at 8 pm
Thursday leading into the new season of Lost at 9 pm ET/PT.

From tvweek.com: Where 'Lost' Is Found: Thursdays
Network scheduling decisions normally are routine affairs, but plenty of
media suspense has built up for this announcement: ABC's serialized hit
"Lost" will return Jan. 31 at 9 p.m. That's Thursday night in the slot
currently held by "Grey's Anatomy" (which has only one original episode
left).
"Lost," which has shut down production due to the writers strike, has
eight
completed episodes that reportedly conclude in a cliffhanger.
Lost's night at the Emmys was not supposed to be much. The
nominations were few and fans were already upset that the show wasn't
nominated in the Best Drama category. However, the Lost universe
got a pleasant surprise on Sunday when Terry O'Quinn received the Emmy for
Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of enigmatic John Locke. It was a
well-deserved award, despite the surprise of it all. Plus, we have even more
casting rumors for season 4.
Lost is still months away from returning to our screens, but
there's beginning to be some news trickling in. And, by news, we mean
rumors. The Lost rumors are far more abundant these days than the
actual news, but what can you expect? Things need to be kept secret. Also,
we have some info about the upcoming Lost Season 3 DVD.
Is Lost moving to Mondays? The rumor mill is churning, and that’s the way the winds seem to be blowing, if ABC has the cojones to pull off a big night switch for one of its marquee shows.
Also, every Lost fan has pondered the question over and over in his or her head: How exactly will Lost end? It's a loaded query and the Internet is filled with speculation about how the beloved series will bow out in 2010. We take a look at that question this week on BuddyTV with some speculation of our own. Also, who's suffering from Lost withdrawal this month? We reflect on how long the five months between now and Lost's season 4 premiere are going to seem.
The casting revelations for the fourth season of Lost have quieted down, but the producers have once again lifted their self-imposed "radio silence" to discuss some of the show's recent announcements. Among the topics of discussion were the producers' thought on the new cast members that have been hired, and also what they think of the upcoming Lost video game.
