Libby returns to Lost in flashbacks in season four
I had been hearing rumors that Cynthia Watros, who played Libby, would be returning to Lost via flashbacks, and Ausiello has confirmed she will be returning for multiple episodes. And not only will it be someone else’s flashback, but it will fill in the mysterious holes in her own story.
As you will recall, fans also recognized a brunette Libby at the Santa Rose Mental Institute where Hurley was a patient. And she was also the one who gave Desmond the sailboat Elizabeth (Libby’s full first name) that landed him on the island too.
OK, so technically, the ABC hit isn’t bringing Cynthia Watros’ short-lived character back from the dead. But Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse confirms to me exclusively that the actress will be playing Hurley’s dearly departed sweetheart again this season for multiple episodes, presumably in more flashbacks.
“She’ll be in enough of the show for us to fill in the missing pieces of her story,” says Cuse. “We could not be more pleased. Cynthia is a smart and engaging actor, and [executive producer] Damon [Lindelof] and I have some very cool parts of her story left to tell.”
Although I never really liked Libby from the get-go, although I know many of you did, I am excited to hear she is coming back simply to get the missing pieces to her story.
