Evangeline is dreading her return to the Lost set in Hawaii - because she is painfully allergic to so many things there. The newly-ended Hollywood writers strike brought production on the TV series to a standstill last year, and the Canadian star was glad to get a break.

She claims she has suffered non-stop discomfort since arriving on the island of Oahu, where the show is shot, and was desperate to get away when the strike started in November. She says, “As soon as I found out about the strike I got off the island. Island fever is not a joke. It’s something everyone in Hawaii experiences. “I’m allergic to Hawaii. Everything there makes me react in some way. I have spent the last four years with allergic reactions, or sick. “On the way out, a spore or something got in my eye. The pink wet flesh inside my eye just closed up. I started to see fuzzy and everything was out of focus.”

Evangeline was spotted out in the evening in NYC earlier this month. She was carrying her stuffed dog and her shoes in a plastic bag. Click the image below to view the pictures in the gallery.

On Valentine’s Day earlier this month, Evangeline appeared on Craig Ferguson. She wore the cutest little dress, which she calls her “Valentine’s Day Dress.” The interview is hilarious! Check it out below.

Evangeline appeared on Regis and Kelly earlier this month to promote Lost, and she looked lovely in a blue loose-fitted dress. Regis, of course, still doesn’t have a clue what he’s on about, he clearly doesn’t watch the show, but it’s an entertaining interview nonetheless. Check it out below!

Evangeline spoke to David Letterman yesterday about what she’s been up to during the writer’s strike, about Lost and about her being “allergic to Hawaii.” Check out the video below.

The return of “Lost” led ABC to a ratings win Thursday, in the process helping “Eli Stone” get off to a decent start.

ABC’s lead was wider in the adults 18-49 demographic, where it earned a 5.3 rating. FOX came in second with a 3.2, followed by NBC at 2.8. CBS’ 2.4 was good for fourth, and The CW drew a 1.4.
