"The poster for the final season has been revealed, showing us the characters we can expect to see this season: TV Guide identifies the characters as follows: Faraday, Boone, Miles, Michael, Ana Lucia, Charlotte, Shannon, Desmond, Eko, Kate, Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Ben, Sayid, a young blond woman resembling Libby or Penny, Sun, Jin, Claire, Hurley, Juliet, Charlie, Frank, Richard, Bernard and Rose. The assessment on Libby might not be accurate, however, since Jorge Garcia has said we won't be seeing Libby in the final season. [TV Guide] As for Penny, actress Sonya Walger isn't even sure if she's in the final season. [TV Guide]" - RAPatton

"We've got more reports from filming. The crew is back filming at Diamond Head Studio, and Jacob is one of the characters expected to appear. Back in the timeline where Flight 815 landed safely, we will meet Detective Rasmussen, a woman in her thirties. Rasmussen will be at the hospital where Claire is delivering her baby, talking to Kate. Sayid was captured by the temple Others after the events of the season finale. They healed his wounds, but they also tortured him. There is a fight, after which the other castaways get into the temple. Richard smooths things over between the groups, and everyone is relieved to find that Sayid is still alive. Jacob and the long-haired Asian man will be in this scene as well. The set reporter believes that the scenes with the pirates at the temple will be in the opening episode. [Dark UFO]" - RAPatton
