Lost producer Jack Bender has confirmed that the smoke monster will no longer be part of his show's regular cast. However, ABC has promised that Where There's Smoke will feature a number of guest appearances from Lost regulars. Sources said the pilot episode will feature an appearance by actor Michael Emerson as a slobby houseguest named Benjamin Linus who overstays his welcome, much to the chagrin of the smoke monster's wife.

I would actually watch that and I bet it would be better than 95% of the junk that's out there these days!

Besides, Lea Thompson is HOT!

Ol' Smokey has good taste.

Damn The Onion! That idea is better than 99% of what we're getting in the fall season!

Most likely would be more watched than LOST.

"Somewhere between the smoke monster's first appearance on Lost— when it was depicted as a strange unseen force uprooting trees—and that episode in season three where it grabbed Mr. Eko and smashed him against the ground until he was dead, this character became the breakout star of the show," said Stephen McPherson, president of ABC Entertainment. "And that's exactly why we're so excited about Where There's Smoke. We get to see the monster's light comedic side in a show about life, love, and good friends having good times."

Brilliant!

I can hardly wait to see the smoke monster's 'light comedic side'.
