During the season finale of Lost, expect two new potentially recurring characters to be introduced.  According to Ausiello we're going to meet Jason, a former soldier who's a natural born Pied Piper.  The second new character will be Samuel, a J.R. Ewing type who loves a good corporate takeover.

Meanwhile, an update on which Lost character is dying, Ausiello says that Juliet is definitely safe.  As far as poor Penny, however, her fate is looking worse than ever as the actress that portrays her, Sonya Walger, landed the lead role on ABC's Flash Forward.
