Here is a new Emilie's interview about Lost:
Unlike the fans, Emilie de Ravin decided not to watch ABC’s “Lost” (Tuesday at 9 p.m. on WCVB, Ch. 5) last year.
Her character, Claire, mysteriously disappeared near the end of season four.
But as the producers always planned, de Ravin returned as a series regular for the show’s sixth and final season, which began last week.
So what did she think when she read the script for the premiere that found the characters existing in two realities?
“Confusion, but in a good way,” she said. “Everyone knows the show is coming to an end, so you know there’s going to be so much more going on now that there wasn’t previously.”
Claire showed up briefly in the premiere, appearing in the time line that found all the characters landing safely at LAX airport.
Since the cast is not allowed to talk about upcoming story lines, the Australia native could not elaborate on what was in store for her character.
“Let me check my contract,” she said and then laughed.
“As always, this season has been a very interesting study on character and relationships. Not necessarily relationships between characters, but just relationships in general - with the island or their past or their future or good and evil.”
But de Ravin cautioned that, by the end of the season, viewers might still have questions.
“I think there’s obviously still going to be certain things left open-ended,” she said. “But that’s the way it should be. You can’t really wrap everything up with a little bow and say, ‘Here’s all your answers.’ It’s that balance that the writers are really doing a wonderful job with. I have no idea how they’re going to end it. I’m really excited to see how it all wraps up.”
The 28-year-old said she and the rest of the cast gave up a long time ago trying to theorize about what would happen on the show: They were always wrong.
But she still does have hopes for her character.
“It’s such an obvious thing to say, but I would love to see Claire and her son Aaron reunited in some respect, which I suppose could mean anything with this show,” she said. “That would be pretty cool, just seeing what she’s gone through with that whole experience.”
De Ravin used her time away from the series last year to make movies. She appears in the upcoming film “Remember Me” opposite Robert Pattinson and voiced a character in the animated feature “Guardians of Ga’Hoole.”

“I actually made a point of not watching season five, because up until now Claire wasn’t involved in what was going on with the other characters. So I thought it would be really interesting to have that all be a surprise to me as it would be for her,” de Ravin said in a telephone interview from Hawaii.

While she finds it bittersweet to say goodbye to “Lost,” she believes it is time.
“I think it was a very, very intelligent decision of the creative department to have set years ago an end to the show,” she said. “There’s no way this show can kind of just peter on. . . . It’s great that (the showrunners) had that time to evolve the show how they’ve wanted to and to give it a beginning, middle and end. Six years, I think, is a great run. I’d much rather go out on a good note with the show as opposed to just going on until people don’t care.”
