Who Will Die And Who Will Survive On ABC's "LOST"?

At least five deaths have been announced for May Sweeps on ABC's "LOST"and it appears only Anthony Cooper bit the dust thus far (you're not actually buying Locke dying, are you?) So who else kicks the bucket before the season ends? After all the speculation about Charlie the producers would not go for the obvious and kill him off. Or would they?

In their latest podcast, the show producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof reveal that the final three hours of "LOST" will focus on the principal characters and their lethal conflict with the Others. The question of "Jacob" will be revisited in season 4 and what that season is about will be fairly obvious after this year's season finale.



As for Ben's reasons to shoot Locke, the producers have said that Ben felt threatened after he realized Locke was able to hear Jacob. Although he initially seemed surprised Locke could not see or hear Jacob, Ben was actually testing Locke if he could do so as that would indicate he was indeed special. After he realized Locke could hear Jacob, Ben felt his leadership was threatened.

Finally, the producers promised the story of the Dharma Initiative would be revisited along with Ben's friend Annie in a future storyline. They did not give any indication who would die in the upcoming episodes, but there are rumors the producers will actually do what seems too obvious of a choice and kill Charlie off along with some other characters.

The Charlie-centric episode "Greatest Hits" airs this Wednesday at 10/9c on ABC.
