<p class="p1">Later this year will mark the 10 years since "Lost" premiered on ABC.

<p class="p1">To celebrate, executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse along with seven cast members reunited over the weekend at <span class="s1">PaleyFest</span>, the annual two-week event in LA consisting of television show panels for fans.

<p class="p1">Among the <span class="s1">cool trivia bits</span> we learned, it turns out the writers also disliked random background characters Nikki and Paulo, Daniel Dae Kim (who played Jin) wasn't speaking (real) Korean for a while on the show, and Yunjin Kim's (Sun) role was <span class="s1">written just for the actress</span>.

<p class="p1">And if you're still reeling nearly four years later about the show's controversial ending, Lindelof and Cuse confirmed once and for all that the castaways <span class="s1">were not dead the entire time</span>. (But you <span class="s1">probably already knew that</span>.)
