Welcome back, Boone! Ian Somerhalder has been cast as a bad vampire in the CW’s upcoming drama The Vampire Diaries, but apparently, he’s not ready to say goodbye to his role as Boone on Lost just yet. He told the crowd at Comic-Con today that the Vampire producers are ready for him to be called back to Hawaii this season. When asked what it’s like to be at Comic-Con and if he’s still peppered with questions from Lost fans, Somerhalder stammered a bit but replied with some good news: “I think it’s safe to say… we sort of discussed that… it’s truly incredible that… I am going to be coming back.” As expected, the audience roared. He reassured the crowd, however, that job one is to play Damon, the evil vampire brother of Stefan (played by Paul Wesley).
Afterward, Somehalder told EW exclusively that Lost producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse only told him half an hour before the Vampire Diaries panel that he will be coming back next season. “It’s not clear yet” when it’ll happen but “it’ll be very soon.” Somerhalder said he wasn’t necessarily surprised at the development, because he had been talking to the producers for some time about returning. “It’s just a matter of timing and getting me down there,” says Somerhalder. “It’s all good.”

YESSS!!! I love Boone!
They might as well have a big ol’ reunion. Seriously. If time was reversed, all those suckers who died will be alive again.
My only resolution is to have Walt’s story be more defined. How can he be special and not know what that special “talent” is? No fair.
wow…I wonder if this means that others like Maggie Grace will also be returning. What about Walt? How will they deal with his aging?
COULD NOT BE HAPPIER!!
SO exciting
I AGRRE LOVE THEM BOTH
Oh my God!!!This is a wonderful news!I was so sad when he died on Lost.But now with all that stuff of turning back in time I hoped it would be a chance to see Boone again…and Charlie also!
That is the best news! I can’t wait! Boone was my favorite character, before they killed him off! I’m so excited!!!!!
Yes! Best news ever!
I’m thinking more and more Jack’s plan worked and the season will at least partly focus on what would have happened if the plane never crashed.
Boone was my favorite character and I have to admit, while I still enjoy the show (more than most people on the Internet!), my affection for the show was never the same after the 1st season. Awesome!!!
That is great news. He was not only a favorite character of mine but also SO HOT
Yeah, Boone! I always liked him. He was a great character, and he had very pretty eyes. Can’t wait to see him again! I was so sad when he died.
OMG!!! Thank god Boone is coming back. He is by far the hottest guy on the show!!! He should never have been killed off, all because Shannon wanted to leave the show. They should have killed her and left him on. Now if only Mr. Eko can come back, my life will be complete!!!
i’m betting there are some serious pissed off producers right about now…big mouth.
Of course he’ll come back! Locke already saw him Season 3. Boone is a beloved character and nothing would make (mostly female) fans happier than to see him again.
Boone was a good character, will be nice to see him around again, in any form
But…boone died in like, the second season. everyone buried him. he was CRUSHED in an airplane, that was falling, like, 50 feet! how is he coming back???
But if you watched season 5, you would’ve seen that there is a possibility that previous main characters will be back since previous storylines may have been wiped out by Jack’s plan
I was crushed to see him go.
He is a terrible actor that played a useless and pathetic character. Boone was nothing more than a useless whiny rat.
Heck yeah! Can’t wait!!!!
I liked the character of Boone, but Ian is just so hideous I’m not sure if I can stomach looking at him (hehe)
Black Lantern Boone!
The character had good ideas behind it, but horribly played. There are many other characters I’d rather come back; even Shannon before Boone.
Eh!
OMG…so very excited! I almost wish I didn’t know though, cause how cool of a surprise would it be to see him and not know it was coming…
thanks for the SPOILER, guys. lame. TOTALLY LAME.
I can’t remember the source, but I read somewhere Maggie Grace was spotted in Hawaii a while ago… perhaps she was filming an episode? Or maybe that source was completely incorrect. I’m curious and excited to see how they’ll bring Boone back.
Oh come on, confirmation that he will appear in LOST next season is only the slightest of spoilers, if at all. We have absolutely no idea why or how nor for how long. So how can he come back? Well for one, the simplest plot in which to do that is one in which they changed the future somehow, effectively telling us that some if not most of the dead Losties would never have died. But that’s just ONE way it could be done.
Maybe he’ll be back to demonstrate that he was NOT “the sacrifice the Island demanded,” but rather has a different purpose now.
My, oh, my. This last season of Lost is going to blow us all away, isn’t it?
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….BEST NEWS in MY WHOLE LIFE<3333♥♥♥♥I wish i meet him in reall life♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
