Cynthia Watros, who plays the possibly crazy character Libby on ABC hit Lost, is joining the cast of the Tom Cavanagh sitcom My Ex-Life. The new show is a pilot slated for CBS's fall season.
Watros plays Libby on Lost, a character who until a few episodes ago was believed to be a therapist. It was revealed in a flashback several weeks ago that Libby may have actually been in the same mental hospital that Hurley (Jorge Garcia) was in.
The move puts the fate of Libby into question. While CBS seemingly attempted to assuage "Lostie" fears by saying Watros was only a guest-star on the new show, Lost has killed off several main characters in the past.
Last season, Ian Somerhalder's character Boone was killed. This season, that character's stepsister Shannon, played by Maggie Grace, was shot to death by another castaway. Both of those actors are now allegedly dating.
It is possible the makers of Lost are helping Watros out the door. Earlier this season, both Watros and costar Michelle Rodriguez were involved in DUIs, and rumors began to surface that the two were difficult to work with. Maggie Grace was also reportedly difficult to work with.
waltros is looking GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
woot!! kill her off, let a big panda eat her
Personally i dont care a lot about her, she can go if she wants to. <br />
Maggie Grace character was far better than hers.
She can't disappear from Lost! Not after the last image we have of her is Hurley and Libby down that other hatch--the booby hatch--together.
Well there isn't any Libby episode planned this season so if she dies, I dunno how they're gonna explain the whole crazyness thing.
Watros is great, her character is terrific. Rodriguez, on the other hand, would not be a hard loss. I still hold out that Aaron should kill her in some gruesome way.
I hope this isn't true, I like Libby...
i feel bad for hurley haha.
More bad career advice for Cynthia Watros is she is indeed leaving Lost to play another little woman on a third rate sitcom. Get yourself a new agent, honey. This one's had it.
Kill her off!!!
Libby is HOT!!!
Yeah, she's SOOOOOOOOOOOO dead.
To answer MassInsanity's question, this is a big deal to all "Losties" as this could be a clue to some of the unsolved mysteries on the show. If you have ever seen a message board for the show, something like this causes a huge uproar.
I'm just curious why she would leave Lost for a new CBS comedy that no one's even seen yet.
I just hope she doesn't leave the show before her whole craziness is solved!!! We MUST know what is up with her- is she like Hurley's stalker or something??
Hopefully the rumours of Watros leaving LOST are not true as Libby is a great character to watch.
Thats nice, who cares?
