GRANDES SPOILERS

[spoiler:5953e72e92]About the Lost death: Female. October (I think, at least that was the original plan). NOT at the hands of the “monster.” And also … another one bites the dust ... a male cast member is leaving the show for good. But this one WON'T be a death. I hear [there will be about] 5 to 8 [new characters], and some (most?) of them are buddy-buddy with Ana-Lucia, who’s living a harsh existence elsewhere on the island. I also hear that our raft friends will be separated from the rest of the bunch for the first third of the season, but they will be interacting with others (possibly The Others, or other others). Also, Kate is going to run into a bit of life-threatening peril … but you knew that already if you watched the clip on oceanicflight815.com.One of the storylines will leave you STOWked.
