The characters Juliet Burke and Daniel Faraday will be back on ABC's "Lost" next year, along with
several other characters who haven't been seen since the first season, producers said over the weekend during a panel presentation at the Comic-Con convention.
......
"There's a good chance you'll be seeing
many characters you haven't seen since the first season again," said executive producer Damon Lindelof.
The final season, producers said, will in some ways
resemble the first.
"(In the first season, the characters) were running around the jungle, things felt intense and surprising and (there was) the emotional discovery about the characters," said executive producer Carlton Cuse. "We have a way that we're going to
be able to do that in the final season too."
Yet fans shouldn't think that any sort of narrative reboot will invalidate everything that's already happened, "because that would be a real big cheat," said Jorge Garcia, who plays Hugo on the show.
"Just trust us," reassured Cuse.
The show will also employ a new narrative device that's unique to the final season.
"The time-travel season is over, the flash-forward season is over," Lindelof said. "We're going to do something different."
As for lingering
mysteries about the show's story, "everything that matters we're gonna answer," assured Lindelof.

Other news from the panel:
* The matter of the mysterious Dharma food drops will be solved ... but there won't be much about the Dharma Initiative in the final season.
* Asked if the mysterious Jacob has ever appeared as any other character in the series, Lindelof said "no."
