The exec producer of Ian Somerhalder’s new CW series,
The Vampire Diaries, is close friends with
Lost exec producer Damon Lindelof. So when he’s not sucking blood in the South, Ian may reappear on the island as Boone. While apartment hunting in Atlanta, where Diaries shoots, with his new on-screen vampire brother Paul Wesley, Ian tells me, “I’ve heard a little bit about what’s happening this season on
Lost, and there’s definitely an avenue they’re going down to bring back a lot of us.”
Any crossover [with]
Lost would “only help the success of our show…as long as it’s not screwing up production,” Ian says. So what if Boone, Shannon, Charlie and the rest of
Lost’s “living dead” turn out to be vampires? “That would not be good,” says the actor, who currently lives around the corner from Maggie Grace (Shannon) in Venice Beach. “There are already enough vampires flying around the airwaves. If we can keep it at
True Blood,
Twilight and
Vampire Diaries, the world will be better off!”
