Breaking: Is Evangeline Lilly leaving 'Lost'?

No!

That’s what multiple sources are telling me in response to a rumor that Lost‘s top heroine, Evangeline Lilly, may be leaving the show before it reaches its natural conclusion in May 2010.

“We have no idea how this rumor got started,” maintains Lilly’s rep, “and whoever started it didn’t call us or ABC to verify the validity of it, for which there is none.”

Buzz about Lilly’s possibly premature exit stemmed from a report on Zap2it.com that claimed the actress was actively searching for a new TV gig — one that would launch this fall. But as an ABC source points out, she’s under contract with Lost through the sixth and final season, and there’s absolutely nothing to suggest she’ll be sprung before then.

Phew, crisis averted.

    No Lost without Kate.

  • jk

    Well that would have been the mother of all surprises for Lost….

  • K

    Damn, I could only hope.

  • Scott

    “Damn, I could only hope.” — Amen.

    phew! thanks aussie. i was worried there for a second. mostly because of your GIANT “breaking” HEADER: IS EVANGELINE LILY LEAVING LOST? boy was i sure relieved when the first word i read (after said heart stopping header) was NO…. they REALLY pay you for this crap? maybe tomorrow you can make a new header about someone else not leaving a show and then answer no to your own stupid made up question…. honeslty. WASTE. OF. SPACE.

    Lost needs to end already, if these people stay lost any longer, they’ll have to change the show’s name to “The Bush Administration”

  • Sam

    Damn. Lost would be so much better without her and her bloody lame triangle.

  • Matthew

    Dear Korbi,
    YOU’RE FIRED.

  • leleana

    Thank god, the title scared the crap out of me.

  • Aaron

    i really don’t get the hate.
    kate is a compelling, terrific character and i for one think lilly has blossomed into a great actress over the past 5 seasons.

  • melbye

    Even though both you and your frenemy says it’s not true now it’s out there and i guess now this rumor won’t die until May 19th 2010. I am actually still afraid this might be true

  • beachpup

    Run, Evangeline, ruuuuunnnnnnnnnnnn………!

  • maria r

    I think it would be good. It would be a surprising twist before the last season, and I wouldn’t have to be bored by her character any more. I think it’s true…it’s not like they are going to give it away.

  • Christina

    Thanks again!
    Ausiello > Korbi
    but that’s well-established knowledge

  • Ally

    The show would loose a lot of its tension without her. She isn’t my favorite but she does add something to the show. Hopefully it was all rumor.
