No One's Safe On Lost

Josh Holloway, who stars as Sawyer on ABC's hit Lost, told SCI FI Wire that he and the rest of the cast constantly live with the knowledge that no one is untouchable on the show. "Oh, of course not," Holloway said in an interview at the Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. "I feel like in the current atmosphere of TV shows, they're willing to kill a main character without a problem. So that's always a possibility. ... I think the nature of the show and the organic way that they write, and still continue to create, is they're willing to let someone shine. If they shine, they'll write for them. If they don't, they'll move on. It's kind of the reality of what we do."

When the audience last saw Sawyer, he and Kate (played by Evangeline Lilly) had just made love inside the animal cage where he'd been held captive since the beginning of the season. He said that he had always been personally hoping for Kate to choose Sawyer over her other potential love interest, Jack (Matthew Fox), but was never sure that it would turn out in his favor.

"It's great, because neither of us really know where it's going, so we don't know exactly what to fully invest in, which actually plays on camera," Holloway said. "It's nice kind of not knowing. And one minute we're really kind of close and sappy, and the next minute we're like 'Who are you?' It's that thing. But our friendship has deepened quite a bit. We've been working together constantly and having to discuss these things and how we're going to do them and so forth. So it was good. And we're really proud of the way that love scene turned out, because we wanted it to be different. We wanted it to take some time and have some moments in the middle of it. Not just this crazy furious thing. Because it's been such a long time coming."

Holloway said that he missed working with the rest of the cast "very much" in the early part of the season, but hinted that there may be a reunion coming soon. "I'm looking forward to getting back to that," he said.
