Did I miss the EkoActor getting into trouble?
Yep. I can't remember if drinking was involved, but he was pulled over (and arrested?) for speeding and was also without a license. I thought charges were dropped, though.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Note to Lost actors: If you want to keep your job, do not, I repeat DO NOT get pulled over for a traffic violation
Note to Lost actors: If you want to move on to other projects, get a parking ticket. Although they might only hack one leg off for that.
Dawn, your post is nearly verbatim for a conversation Ausiello (TV Guide) had with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
Exclusive: Lost Execs React to Latest Death!I can't believe the smoke monster killed Mr. Eko!
Sure, the stick-toting warlord wasn't exactly my favorite character, but he was a fascinating creature, not to mention one of the last remaining survivors of that cursed tail section. Why did Eko have to go? That's a question for Lost boys Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, who addressed Eko's passing — and the exit of his portrayer, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje — in an interview with yours truly earlier this week.
Ausiello: Another actor leaves Lost just months after he's pulled over in Hawaii for a traffic violation. This is the part where you guys tell me there's absolutely no connection.
Carlton Cuse: We actually work very closely with the Honolulu police department, and they have final script approval.
Damon Lindelof: Look, we feel very strongly about traffic violations, no matter how minor they are. All we can say is that Evangeline Lilly got a parking ticket last week, and she better not count her chickens.
Rest of interview (short) here: [link] No future spoilers.
no matter how shitty the show has become, i still have a big honkin' crush on Damon Lindelof.
So this means Bernard is the only surviving tailie, right?
Of course, we haven't seen Bernard or Rose yet this season, have we?
You remind me of another annoyance. Introducing new characters when we haven't seen the existing ones yet.
I think we've seen all the regulars now..
Well, hopefully we'll see Bernard and Rose soon. (Well, perhaps next week -- otherwise not 'til February.)
I wouldn't even presume they are coming back to be honest - the show has only really used the core cast this season. Mind you, there have been one or two Others pop up occasionally.
