“Lost” ended Season Three with a big surprise. What’s up with the baby? What character was once despised by fans? And why did the producers feel they had to kill off a fan favorite? But first, in case you missed tonight’s final moments: In an unexpected cliffhanger, “Lost” ended its third season off the island, but the results of the death of Charlie, played by actor Dominic Monaghan since the show’s beginning, was not an easy decision for the producers to make.

“We felt this was the conclusion that was going to be best for the story of ‘Lost’ though it was painful to lose Dominic from our cast,” said Executive Producer Carlton Cuse.

“The story was really saying it was time for Charlie to die and he’s one of the big three, one of the first three characters that we met back in the pilot, but I think it also signals to the audience who is watching the show — Hey, anybody can go. Nobody is safe,” said Co-Creator and Executive Producer Damon Lindelof,

We certainly saw that in the finale with one killing, after another, after another. Turns out there was reason to kill off Josh Holloway’s character “Sawyer” a long time ago.

“When the show started, Josh was like the second-lowest-testing character on the show. The audience actually despised him in all the research. It was like everybody hates this guy and now arguably he’s one of the most popular characters on the show,” said Cuse.

And about the show’s littlest character? What gives? “I think that there is a real significance to the fact that this is the only baby that’s been born on this island for a very long time, and I think that makes the baby special, and we are going to be further dealing with that storyline in the future,” said Lindelof.

Damon and Carlton have to leave you hanging for several months — maybe eight — but they say when the show does return, it’ll be worth the wait.
