Show Description: From J.J. Abrams, the creator of Alias, and Damon Lindelof
(Crossing Jordan) comes an action-packed adventure that will bring out the very
best and the very worst in the people who are lost.
Out of the blackness, the first thing Jack (Matthew Fox, Party of Five) senses
is pain. Then burning sun. A Bamboo forest. Smoke. Screams. With a rush comes
the horrible awareness that the plane he was on tore apart in mid-air and crashed
on a Pacific island. From there it's a blur, as his doctor's instinct kicks
in: people need his help.
Stripped of everything, the 48 survivors scavenge what they can from the plane
for their survival. Some panic. Some pin their hopes on rescue. A few find inner
strength they never knew they had — like Kate (Evangeline Lilly), who,
with no medical training, suddenly finds herself suturing the doctor's wounds.
Hurley (Jorge Garcia) — a man with a warm sense of humor despite the desperate
situation — does his best to keep his cool as he helps those around him
to survive. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) is a faded rock star who harbors a painful
secret. Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is a Middle Eastern man who must wrestle with
the racial profiling directed at him by some of his fellow survivors. Jin (Daniel
Dae Kim) and Sun (Yunjin Kim) are a Korean couple whose traditions, values and
language are foreign and thus causes much to get lost in the translation. Sawyer
(Josh Holloway) has an air of danger surrounding him, and his intense sense
of mistrust for everyone around him could prove to be fatal to his fellow castaways.
Michael (Harold Perrineau) has just gained custody of his nine-year-old son,
Walt (Malcolm David Kelley), after the death of his ex-wife — they are
a father and son who don't even know each other. Locke (Terry O'Quinn) is a
mysterious man who keeps to himself, and who harbors a deeper connection to
the island than any of the others. And self-centered Shannon (Maggie Grace)
— who actually gives herself a pedicure amid the chaos — and her estranged
controlling brother, Boone (Ian Somerhalder) — constantly bicker and must
learn to get along if they are to survive.
The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against
the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But the island
holds many secrets, including the intense howls of the mysterious creatures
stalking the jungle, which fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the
calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and level-headed Kate, they have hope.
But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn.
Character Bio: Evangeline's character Kate is a woman with a dark past
and many secrets. As we find out she was on the plane in order to be taken to
the United States as a prisoner. She had been on the run from the law quite a
while. She fled to Australia where she then was captured by a marshal. Kate is
a confident and brave woman - her greatest problem is staying in one place for
a long time. The island pretty much made her its prisoner of some kind. Only Jack
and Hurley know that Kate is the prisoner. Jack has serious trust issues despite
having feelings for her. As we find out from falshbacks in various episodes Kate
takes on various aliases - like Annie, she was working at a farm in Australia
for some time in order to earn money and be able to leave the place. In another
flashback we see Kate commit a crime - it appears as if she's robbing the bank
but it turns out all she wanted was a personal belonging of hers that was in a
safe in the bank. Apparently that toy airplane belonged to the man she loved and
killed.
