Lost Recurring Roles to Become Regular Roles?

July 15, 2008 � Approaching Lost, Entertainment

With everyone searching for Lost Season 5 spoilers, nothing is out of realm. Recently there was some digging into the contracts of Alan Dale and John Terry, who play Charles Widmore and Christian Shepherd, respectively - and the results are interesting. It seems that the two actors have clauses in their contracts that allows TPTB of Lost to upgrade their status from “recurring” to “regular.”

EW’s Doc Jensen analyzed the info, saying “The prospect of expansive roles for Jack’s maybe-dead dad and Penelope’s dastardly deep-pocketed pop suggests a theory about the Island’s true significance. Here is a seemingly-magical place where the lame can walk anew, the impotent can once more shoot bullets, and anyone can crank on ancient donkey wheels and leap through time. In other words, the Island provides the means for death-spooked mortals to cheat the grim reaper. I’m betting that’s why Old Man Widmore is so desperate to find it. As for Ghost Dad, the Island allows him to stick around in his inexplicable spectral state and might even be facilitating a full-blown bodily resurrection; either scenario represents a violation of the natural order of things. In the end, Jack will no doubt have to convince his father — and possibly his maybe-dead half-sister Claire, too — that they need to move on. Regardless, keeping Terry around portends an emotional climax to Jack’s father issue arc.”

I think that Widmore will continue to be a player in the remaining seasons of Lost. I could see a big fight ensuing between Ben and Widmore. I’m not so sure about Christian. I can’t see his role becoming much bigger than what it is. But you never know where Lost will go!
