Maggie Grace on Taken and LOST

Maggie Grace is known to Lost fans as Shannon Rutherford one of the show’s first casualties near the beginning of Season 2. Grace is currently starring as Liam Neeson’s daughter in the thriller Taken (pictured above), but recently spoke to Universal Press about whether or not she’d ever return to Lost’s mysterious island.

When asked about that very thing, she replied, “Who knows?” which you can take to mean something along the lines of, “Depends on whether or not they invite me.” She says has a hard time watching the show these days because of her friendships with the cast; she likens it to watching “a moving yearbook,” and can’t separate the people she knows from the show’s storylines. She also defends her numerous co-stars who’ve been penalized by the Hawaiian police for driving infractions:

In their defense, we were filming out in these pineapple fields in the middle of the North Shore and I think the speed limit is about 12, so most of the guys on the show aren’t really compatible with the speed limit of 12. Not that I’m saying it’s okay to break the law. But it’s a pineapple field, so you can see how that logic takes over.

Going back to her answer about possibly returning to Lost, despite her character’s death (which we know doesn’t preclude anyone from putting in repeat appearances on the show), it got me thinking about all the little cameos we’ve seen over the years from the likes of Boone, Charlie, Libby, and most recently, Ana-Lucia. And I can’t help wondering… What would it be like if there was an episode in the show’s final season next year when every character who’s died on the island appeared, all at the same time?

The show’s racked up quite the body count over the years, so such a reunion of the dearly departed would include Boone, Shannon, Ana-Lucia, Libby, Eko, Charlie, Michael, Danielle, Alex, Carl, Nikki, Paolo, Naomi, Ethan Rom, Goodwin, Kate’s captor the U.S. Marshall, Tom the Other & several of his “Other” friends, Locke’s father, Dr. Arzt, and dozens of others I can’t think of right now. What do you suppose that would be like?
