TV Guide got in on the new twist on Lost.  Sawyer and Juliet together?  Huh?  Seriously.  That’s what I was thinking?  It is strange.  But, hello peeps, this is Lost we are talking about.  You should never be surprised.

Not in a million flash-forwards did we ever see “Suliet” coming—and neither did Lost’s stunned actors. When the ABC drama’s latest game-changing time jump revealed that Sawyer and Juliet had become live-in lovers during their three years trapped together in the groovy ’70s, Josh Holloway (Sawyer) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) had about the same reaction we did.

“Initially, we were really upset about it. We were like, ‘What the f—?! No way,’” admits Holloway, 39, on set in Oahu. “Our worry was that this came with such a boom—one script and we were a couple. It has been tricky and terrifying for both Liz and I.”

“Sawyer and Juliet had always viewed each other as nuisances,” explains Mitchell, fearing a backlash from the “fairly rabid ‘Jacket’ [Jack/Juliet] fans.”

Holloway can’t blame fans for staging a revolt. “I balked. She did, too, and so did the whole cast,” confides the actor. “We felt we had to work extra hard to earn this relationship in just three to four scenes.”

It is a story development the cast has managed to keep a lid on for many months, but there were subtle clues that something was askew when TV Guide paid a visit to the set in early winter. For one, Mitchell’s usually wavy hair was looking very Peggy Lipton/Mod Squad–esque. “They straightened the heck out of it,” notes Mitchell, who celebrates her 39th birthday March 27. And, in place of Juliet’s loose blouses, costumers had fitted Mitchell in vintage blue jeans and “insanely tight” T-shirts.

I think I can dig it.  It’s odd.  But odd is Lost.  Lost is odd.
