Exclusive: Elizabeth Mitchell trading 'Lost' for 'V'?

Categories: Lost

I sure hope this doesn’t mean what I think it does: Lost heroine Elizabeth Mitchell has been cast in ABC’s eagerly anticipated V pilot.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking — that this confirms Juliet as the major character who gets bumped off at this season’s end? Yeah, I kinda thought you might be with me on that one.

However, my moles at ABC and Warner Bros. (which is producing V) say we need to chill, because Mitchell is just a guest star on V. But, however much I may want to chill, that’s pretty hard to do, since everyone told me the same thing when tailie Cynthia Watros booked a pilot (and two months later, Libby was pushing up daisies).

So what do you think? Am I making much ado about nothing? Or is Juliet a goner? And in either case, how much cooler a project is V now that Mitchell’s attached? I’m thinking “way.” Your take below…

    Especially since this is on the same network, why can’t they keep this quiet so that there will be some surprise if she does leave LOST, because I would have expected her to be on loST until the end fo the series

  • Gary

    Hope her character dies on Lost. She annoys me.

  • WTF is the matter with you?

    Has no one at EW ever heard of a spoiler alert? How can you put a major LOST plot point in a banner headline that can’t be avoided!?!?! WTF IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE??????? May you choke to death on your own loose tongue.

  • Nate

    I hope she isn’t leaving. Juliet is one of my favorite characters and I can’t believe the Mitchell has never been recognized for her terrific work on the show.

  • Nancy

    What the hell is “V”? It isn’t a remake of that stupid alien invasion show of the early ’80s is it?

  • Sarah

    I so hope this isn’t true. I’m loving Juliet this season.

  • Abby

    OMG, I didn’t know that Morena Baccarin was going to be in “V”. I totally approve of this concept!

  • MikeNJD

    Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

  • Josh

    This makes me horribly nervous. Juliet is one of my fav characters. =(

  • WTF is the matter with you?

    Way to take down comment Ausiello. Why don’t you go get some talent so you can make a living without spoiling the creations of people actually do have some.
    YOU
    ARE
    PATHETIC

  • jeffrey bryan

    Due to Losts weird schedule, I doubt it would be difficult for her to do both.

  • w

    Oops… my bad. There it is…. sorry about that last rant… but not the first one.

  • Phil

    Come on! I just started really liking her character when she stopped pining for Jack and started playing house with Sawyer (something I didn’t think would work last season)! Mitchell just had her best episode in “LaFleur.” Things with Juliet are in equilibrium, and to imagine that Sawyer may have to settle for Kate who’ll end up leaving him every few days for Jack (who’s much more likable when he’s mopey and alone)… it’s just wrong.

  • Bob

    Lots of cool stuff on new V at this site: http://www.visitorsite.net They haven’t updated this latest spoiler though.

  • Tracey

    I love Juliet! I hope this means she finally gets to go home to her sister. I’ll be so upset if she dies.

  • Benjamin

    Ausiello, even though not everyone knows of spoilers it’s known that the major character has been narrowed down to three and Juliet isn’t one of them. Not that you didn’t already know that :)

  • RAX

    We know it’s not Juliet !!!

    Ausiello why dont you do some research first before posting.,

  • Kate

    Well, I can’t help but think, is the cast of Lost going to really stop filiming? I mean, next season it is done, and if not for the fact that Hawaii gets really hot in the summer, why not just push through, their cast has shown that they can keep secrets. It could be possible that Juliet might not survive to the end of Lost(I have this theory that the Others are all ghosts, and Juliet might just have died a long time ago) but will be around until like the middle of next season.

  • Michelle

    I’m gonna pass out.

  • DKUVA

    sam: if you believe Ausiello’s “Death Chart” then there are going to be 2 (at least) deaths — a “major” and a “major-ish” character DarkUFO is only discussing one death. There’s no “guarantee” that there won’t be any others.

  • Kyle

    I really don’t think Juliet is dying on “Lost”–at least this season. I mean, aren’t they about to film the finale, so that means she’d be free shortly to shoot a new show. And since next year is the last season of “Lost” and I would assume this “V” reboot would be airing in fall or whatever so…that’d make sense…she could start out as a guest star on their, and then when done w/ the final season of “Lost”, join up full time on “V”. I love Juliet though…want to see more closure for her character (and to reunite w/ her sister Rachel).

  • mike

    DUKVA juliet would be a MAJOR deathe an she’s not on darks list (http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2009/03/one-of-these-will-die-updated_16.html)

  • Q

    It is just a pilot and she is a guest star. She lives in Seattle and the filming is in Vancouver. This gives her some extra work during the LOST off-season and sets her up for a re-occurring role in V once LOST ends next season (or when and if they kill her off in season 6.) I don’t think they kill her off this season – and hopefully they will give her a happy ending because she has give LOST a lot of great moments and has definitely elevated the acting on that show – she even makes the actors that work with her better.

  • Kyle

    stickler for spelling but it’s been a long week…’their’ should be ‘there’ haha my bad.

  • clara

    Does Doc Jensen have any intel he’d be willing to share on this?

  • KAH

    to Paris
    your link just made my day :D

  • Flinkman

    wow. they really love killing my favorite characters on this show (Juliet is my all-time fave, but i loved Ana Lucia & Boone before her) & spotlighting the obnoxious ones (could care less about Jack or Kate at this point).
    please, oh wonderful producers/writers of Lost, hear me when i beg you to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE not kill off Juliet!!!
