It's no secret that Lost is bringing back a number of characters for its final season.

It's also been announced that Dominic Monaghan will be a series regular on ABC's FlashForward this fall.

So, does this mean that his Lost character of Charlie is not included among the returning individuals? No. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Sources have confirmed to E! News that Charlie Pace will, indeed, appear on season six of everyone's favorite island-based drama. He'll return for three episodes.

Does this mean Charlie is alive? A ghost? You'll need to tune in and find out.
