Today's Comic Con Lost panel was as fun and exciting as ever, and once again used to tease us fans to the brink of insanity. For over a month now rumors have been swirling about whether or not Dominic Monaghan was returning to Lost for its sixth season. Yesterday, those rumors seemed to be false, as Dom showed up at the FlashForward panel and we learned that he would be joining the cast of that show as a series regular. But then, today, he appeared at the very end of the Lost Comic Con panel during a tribute to dead characters, and appeared to have the words "Am I dead?" written on his hands. Once again we were left to speculate and wonder if that meant he was returning to the show or not.
Well, you can rest assured, now, that he is in fact returning to the show. Take a look at the video below, and at the 2:50 mark specifically Jorge Garcia confirms that he'd only just found out this morning that Dom would be returning for the final season. What's even better is the look on both Michael Emerson and Nestor Carbonell's faces. They seem a little surprised by the question and Jorge's answer, though maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Regardless, it appears that we will be seeing quite a bit more of Dominic Monaghan next year than we'd thought possible.
