Lost stars Naveen Andrews and Dominic Monaghan are bemoaning the lack of screen time they have in the third season of the desert island show. The British actors earn a reported $78,000 a week playing Sayid Jarrah (Andrews) and Charlie Pace (Monaghan), but admit they spend a lot of time sitting around with nothing to do. Andrews says, “Even though I like getting paid for doing nothing, it is nice occasionally to work.” Monaghan adds, “As one person works more, work is being taken away from another. You have to make your peace with that. Executive producer Carlton Cuse explains, “The actors are frustrated. They’re all really good at what they do and it’s difficult when they don’t get a chance to do it.”
They may have been having lunch and drinks at the Ritz-Carlton here last month, but the minds of the castaway castmates of Lost were on the island.
“I haven’t (worked with) Matt all year,” Naveen Andrews (Sayid) says about star Matthew Fox (Jack).
“I haven’t, either,” says Emilie de Ravin (Claire).
“I haven’t seen Foxy all year,” Jorge Garcia (Hurley) echoes.
Turning to Dominic Monaghan (Charlie), Andrews asks, “Does anyone talk to you about when they’re going to see you again?”
“Yeah,” Monaghan says.

Producers have chosen to keep secret when Charlie’s next flashback will air, which probably has something to do with Desmond’s premonition in the Feb. 14 episode that Charlie is destined to die. (Characters’ deaths traditionally have occurred at the conclusion of their flashback shows.)
“I have to be careful to not tell you too much,” says Monaghan, hinting only that “the Charlie stories are going to be coming toward a bottleneck. The Hurley, Sayid, Claire and Locke stories are all pushing together into a Charlie journey.”
And if Charlie does in fact die? “That’s fine,” he says with a shrug. “This job is going to end for everyone. I’ve achieved everything that I wanted to do. It’s been a fantastic opportunity for me, and it’s done exactly what I wanted it to do: distance me from playing a hobbit (in TheLord of the Rings) and have people in America know I can act.”
INDIELONDON singles out notable episodes from our favourite television series for stand-alone reviews. On this occasion we take a look at the episode entitled Flashes Before Your Eyes from the third season of Lost.
What’s the story? When Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) rescues Claire (Emilie de Ravin) from drowning, Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) attempts to find out why he seems able to predict the future. Desmond subsequently reveals what took place in the moments after he turns the key to the hatch [at the end of season 2].

LOST star DOMINIC MONAGHAN is upset with the executives behind the TV drama – because he fears they’ve upset fans by ruining the concept of the series. The LORD OF THE RINGS star accepts no one had any idea the show would become a phenomenon, but even he’s growing tired of the plot twists and turns that have turned fans against Lost. He says, “They (writers) had a beginning and then they had an ending and the studio says, `Can you expand the middle.’ That kinda gets you to a point where it’s not as exciting. “I’d like them to do four or maybe five great seasons and then we’ll do, like, a couple of movies and it’ll be like a big event. “Stringing it out and losing the quality is not what we want.”
For a moment there, “Lost” seemed to have gotten lost.
It started hot, a show that was big and bold and different. ” ‘Lost’ has broken a lot of rules,” producer Carlton Cuse says. “(It has a) large, sprawling cast and complicated, complex storytelling.”
And then, for a while, it faded from the spotlight. Only six episodes have aired this season and they focused on a hostage situation that provided an odd plot detour.

ABC’s award wining drama “Lost” returns Wednesday, February 7th. It’s an action packed mystery and adventure that brings out the best and worst in those who are lost. It all started after a plane crashed on a Pacific island. Since then, so many viewers have been hooked.
Actor Dominic Monaghan is one of the stars of the hit show. He was interviewed during First Coast News at Noon on February 6, 2007. Watch the video clip above.
The executive producers of “Lost” will host a survival guide Wednesday, February 7 at 9 p.m. You can get a glimpse into the lives of the survivors. After that, watch ABC’s “Lost” at its new time at 10 p.m. Wednesdays on WJXX ABC25.
Obsessed fans of hit show LOST have caused chaos by invading the Hawaiian locations to get close to their TV idols. Dozens of women determined to get close to the drama’s male stars, including MATTHEW FOX and DOMINIC MONAGHAN, have interrupted filming and caused delays which have cost producers over $500,000 ($900,000). A production source explained how making the show has become more difficult since its actors are now some of the biggest stars on television. They said, “Things were a lot easier filming the first series when the cast were still largely unknown. But now some of them have a very enthusiastic fan base who will stop at nothing to get close to their idols. “We may be on an isolated island but there have been several incidents where fans have stormed the set. “It’s cost about half a million in lost filming time and additional security.”
LOST beauty Evangeline Lilly has been talked out of quitting the hit show by her co-star love Dominic Monaghan.
She was distraught following a blaze which destroyed the Hawaiian property, although no one was hurt.
“Evie was badly shaken by the whole experience,” a Lost insider said.
“She took it as some kind of sign that she should leave and move on to other things.
“In fact, if it wasn’t for Dom, she probably would have quit.”
‘Lost’ star Evangeline Lilly and her co-star boyfriend Dominic Monaghan visited the burnt remains of her home on Wednesday night.
The pair waited until sunset before arriving at the house – which was destroyed by fire earlier that morning – in an attempt to salvage any remains.
A source said: “They came with flashlights and wore gloves to sift through the ashes. They only found a few personal items left intact, but Evangeline put on a brave face and managed a smile.”
The fire broke out at the star’s rented Hawaiian home – which she shared with two female crew members – at 6.30am while she was away on set. The house was entirely engulfed by fire within half an hour.
Honolulu Fire Captain Kenison Tejada said: “When we arrived the house was fully engulfed. The only thing standing was the roof and a couple of the interior walls. Most of the contents had been destroyed. The home was pretty much uninhabitable.”
Lilly, 27, who plays Kate in ‘Lost’ began dating co-star Monaghan earlier this year.
Their visit to search the remains of her burnt home echoed the early scenes of the cult show when the survivors of a plane crashed on a remote island salvaged what they could from the wreckage.
