"Lost" Adds One More

There should be no love lost over Lost's new love.

Except maybe between Jack and Kate.

Elizabeth Mitchell, best known for playing Kerry Weaver's ill-fated girlfriend on ER, has signed on as a series regular for the upcoming third season of Lost.

(SPOILER ALERT: What little information has been released on the character could upset particularly fickle and/or dense viewers.)

Producers, as expected, have kept mum on details of Mitchell's character, divulging little more than her name--Juliet. However, the Hollywood Reporter claims the 36-year-old will act as a love interest for Jack (Matthew Fox), possibly dismantling the two seasons-strong love triangle of him, Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway).

Earlier this week, writer-producer Damon Lindelof earlier said there would be a resolution, with Kate making her decision between the would-be beaus within the first six episodes of the season.

And with Mitchell aboard, it seems like the good doctor just might lose out.

Still, it's unknown whether her character will be a hitherto unknown Oceanic Flight 815 survivor, a new castaway, an Other, a member of the off-island world or simply someone who appears in flashbacks--but since she's confirmed as a regular addition to the cast, the latter is probably unlikely.

And while clue-hungry viewers might be quick to associate her character's name with images of doomed love, producers have yet to confirm the depth of her relationship with Jack--if there is such a relationship.

Though it's looking fairly likely.

"I wouldn't call it the season of sex, but I will say that romance will play a much more active part of the show this year," writer-producer Carlton Cuse told TV Guide. "That's definitely on our agenda."

Mitchell is the second new addition, joining Rodrigo Santoro.

Earlier this week, producers announced that the 30-year-old actor, dubbed by media to be the "Brazilian Tom Cruise," was joining the show, though in a regular or recurring capacity was unknown.

Cuse again played coy when discussing the Love, Actually star's character, failing to disclose so much as his name.

"We don't really want to be at all specific about what we're doing with the character or what he's going to play," Cuse told TV Guide. "Part of the surprise and the enjoyment of watching the show is sort of getting a chance to meet a new character and see how his role is going to unfold in relation to the rest of the cast."

With the castings of Rodrigo and Mitchell, it's two down, one to go. Earlier this week, Cuse said that three new faces would be joining the show next season--two females and one male.

Of course, landing the gig is no guarantee of small-screen longevity. Of the three full-time cast members added at the start of the show's second season, only one made it through the year alive.

The J.J. Abrams-penned third-season premiere, "A Tale of Two Cities," airs Oct. 4.
