Emilie de Ravin is getting lost in a whole new fantasy world. On the Valentine’s Day episode of ABC’s Once Upon a Time, tentatively scheduled for February 12, the former Lost star steps into the slippers of Beauty and the Beast’s Belle. “Emilie projects a very natural strength and warmth, which are characteristics we wanted to explore with Belle,” explains Adam Horowitz, who, along with writing and producing partner Edward Kitsis, kicked off a six-year stint on Lost writing a Claire scene.

While this take on Beauty will veer from the traditional tale as old as time, Edward says Belle will interact with her father, crazy old Maurice, the brutish Gaston and, of course, the Beast. (Alas, no singing dinnerware.) “We have a fun spin on it,” he says. Later this season, expect visits from Aladdin and his genie!

Once Upon a Time has landed another Lost alum.

Emilie de Ravin, who played Australian castaway Claire on the ABC island mystery series, has been cast as Belle, as in Beauty and the Beast’s Belle, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.

ABC’s Once Upon a Time turns fairy tales into reality

Details of her role are scarce, but we hear Once’s Belle will have a connection to Rumplestiltskin (Robert Carlyle). No word on whether the titular Beast will appear, but Gaston is slated to pop up as well.

The 29-year-old Roswell alum has starred in such films as Remember Me, Public Enemies and Brick. She will first appear in Episode 12, slated to air early next year.

From Ausiello:
Question: I miss Claire on Lost. Emilie de Ravin is such a great actress. Will she be back for all of next season? –Kelly
Ausiello: Yes! After sitting out last season, de Ravin will return as a full-time series regular for Lost’s sixth and final season, Team Darlton confirms. “Damon and I are very excited to bring Claire back to the show,” says Carlton Cuse, “and even more excited for people to experience just how she will return.” And even more exciting that that? Experiencing Doc Jensen’s theory on how she’ll return. Take it away, DJ:

ABC released new season 4 promos of the Lost cast a little while ago. I’ve added the high quality pictures of Emilie as Claire into the gallery. While I was at it I uploaded a couple of other Misc. promos and behind the scenes pictures from various seasons, that I’ve been meaning to add. These were hard for me to get my hands so do enjoy them!

From Watch with Kristin:

Claire-Bear Will Be Back: Following up on my earlier scoop that Emilie de Ravin is not a series regular for the upcoming fifth season of Lost, Darlton promises: “You will see Claire again. Not right away but what happened with her will be explained.”

Brittany was kind enough to cap the deleted scenes from season 1 of Lost for us. They are quite cute, I kind of miss Emilie’s long hair. Check them out in the gallery.

I’ve uploaded the rest of the Lost season two caps to the gallery. I may have gotten a little cap happy, particularly with “Maternity Leave” but I couldn’t help myself, heh. By the way, with this update we’ve reached 6000+ pictures in the gallery! Have fun.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences released its list of Emmy semifinalists for this year’s top TV drama and comedy series, and Lost made the cut, back in play after a snub in 2007. The five finalists in each category, will be selected by a combination of “blue ribbon panel” balloting (50 percent) and the vox populi of the full TV Academy (50 percent). Nominations for the 60th Primetime Emmys will be announced July 17. The ceremony will go down Sept. 21.
