Dominic Monaghan, who played the ill-fated but fan-beloved bassist Charlie Pace on ABC’s Lost, confirmed that he’s talked with series co-creator Damon Lindelof about returning for the show’s sixth and final season, which kicks off in early 2010.

“Sure, we’ve talked,” Monaghan said in an exclusive interview while on the set of his new ABC series, FlashForward, on the Disney studio lot in Burbank, Calif., on Monday. “I’m friends enough with Damon that we just hang out.”

Monaghan said that rumors about his reappearance were stoked because observers may have misconstrued his relationship with Lindelof. “I think a lot of times recently there’s been talk of us hanging out, and ‘Why would they be hanging out other than talking about Lost?’” he said, adding: “We had breakfast one time, and I think that was the reason why a lot of these Lost rumors started.”

Still, Monaghan said, “I’m sure they would be keen to bring back certain characters this season.”

Charlie died heroically in the third-season episode “Through the Looking Glass.” Since then, he’s appeared a couple of times as a hallucination of Hurley (Jorge Garcia).

Production on Lost season six doesn’t begin for another few weeks, but thanks to Comic-Con, we’re starting to get a sense of the new season, including which castmembers might be back to cavort in those alternate timelines the producers teased.

Which brings us to Dominic Monaghan’s beloved Charlie. His appearance on stage as the grand finale of Lost’s panel all but confirmed that Mr. Pace would be back for the final season of Lost. But is it true? And if so, how much might we see of him? Here’s what we’re hearing…

Sources tell us exclusively that, yes, Dom’s deal to reappear on Lost is done and that the original castmember is set to appear in three episodes in season six.

No word yet on the answer to the big question: Is Charlie alive? We’ll have to wait until Lost returns to ABC in January 2010 to find out.
