Looks like Shannon's relationship in Australia might finally go south... which will lead this character back north.

Lost producer Carlton Cuse confirms to Entertainment Weekly that Maggie Grace will reprise her role later this season.

“We’re really excited about having her back on the show, and we have a good story for her," said Cuse, who would not specify the number of episodes on which Grace would appear.

An original cast member, Grace left the show in season two when her character was killed by Ana-Lucia. Scheduling problems had reportedly prevented her from appearing on the season six premiere.

Along with this actress, Harold Perrineau, Cynthia Watros, and Rebecca Mader will show up again on Lost before the show signs off for good.
