Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan are getting married this summer, it has been claimed. The Lost stars are planning to tie the knot when the cult TV series breaks from filming in July.

A source told America’s Star magazine: “They’re planning to get married during the show’s summer hiatus in Hawaii. It will be a beautiful but low-key wedding.”

Lord of the Rings star Dominic, 30, and 27-year-old Evangeline refuse to publicly speak about their relationship. They have been together for two years since meeting on the set of Lost.

British actor Dominic was reported to have proposed in Hawaii last month. A source said: “They want to spend the rest of their lives together.”

After three months off the air, the much ballyhooed return of “Lost” logged a lousy 14.5 million viewers, the smallest audience ever for an original episode.

The return episode also garnered the show’s smallest rating this season among the 18-to-49-year-olds ABC targets.

On the bright side, ABC noted that “Lost” surged from its lead-in — a “Lost” recap clip job — by nearly 6 million viewers.

The bad news: That “Lost Survival Guide” is probably the best lead-in “Lost” is going to see for a while; the network is supposed to bring back its Wednesday 9 p.m. comedies starting next week.

ABC noted that the “Lost” return snagged the show’s second best rating of the season among 18-to-34-year-olds.

Yes, “Lost” officially has become “Heroes”-esque — good with younger demos, but not the broad, country-sweeping series it once was.

But “Heroes” is a series just beginning its run on TV, and it appears headed for ratings growth. This season for “Lost,” on the other hand, is shaping up — as we’re sure Winston Churchill would have said had anyone asked — not as the end of “Lost,” but definitely the end of the beginning of “Lost.”

After airing just six episodes of its convoluted serialized drama series, ABC rested “Lost” for three months rather than air reruns; reruns had not gone over well with fans last season, as reflected in the show’s ratings.

ABC also moved the show from 9 to 10 p.m. Wednesdays, to protect it from “American Idol.”

In its ratings analysis yesterday, ABC mentioned that in its new slot, “Lost” defeated CBS’s “CSI: NY” by 42 percent among those coveted 18-to-49-year-olds, and by 94 percent among the 18-to-34-year-olds who are now the Holy Grail of Madison Avenue. This is known as damning with faint praise, given the demographic skew of the CBS drama.

Ditto ABC’s talking point about “Lost” posting the network’s best numbers in the Wednesday 10 p.m. time slot since last May.

Today is the day - friggin’ finally! Be sure to watch a brand new episode of Lost TONIGHT at 10/9c on ABC. I don’t want to post the promotional pictures yet, because I don’t even want to see them, that would spoil it. I will add them tomorrow =)

When not shooting Lost, Evangeline Lilly goes low-key for a grocery run in Hawaii on Monday. But prepare to see much more of the actress on-screen: After an extended break, her ABC series returns on Wednesday for an uninterrupted 16-week run.

Evangeline Lilly, who plays the beauteous Kate on “Lost,” confesses she’s part gypsy. It was that restless spirit that almost made her turn down the chance to costar in the ABC hit television series. It was the same wanderlust that has kept her on the move.

“As soon as I left high school I cut my ties with everyone I knew and took off to a new city and I started again,” says Lilly, seated at a small, round table in the corner of a dark bar in a hotel here.

“I moved (between) towns in British Columbia. I remember saying to myself when I got to this new town, `You can be anyone you want to be now. Nobody knows you. Nobody has an expectation of you. So you CHOOSE who you want to be.’ And choosing who you want to be is a very different thing than feeling like you just are who you are.”

For the next three years Lilly moved to six different places, each time assuming a new persona. “I tried out six different personalities and characters. It was really an amazing time, very lonely but very formative - Kelowna and White Rock and Vancouver - it was usually a five-hour driving radius, but still people didn’t know me. And what came out of that was I got a piece of this person and a piece of that person and a piece of that person and formulated the person I wanted to be from all those different characters I tried on.”

Those experiences taught her not to care what other people think. “That was very empowering,” says Lilly, who’s dressed in a multi-colored sweater cut to the naval, blue denim pants and black patent pumps.

“Of course, as an adolescent you care very much what people think of you. I always felt like not only did I care what people thought of me, I was a very faithful Christian as a teenager. I cared very much what the church thought of me and what God thought of me, what my parents and my peers thought of me and what the entire world thought of me. Because I felt that was my spiritual responsibility and that was something I had to let go of when I realized I’m responsible to myself and to God and that whatever any one else in the world thinks - even if they’re the church - does not matter.”

Lilly, who longs to be a writer, wasn’t sure she wanted to act. She had no designs on becoming a model, either. But she found herself doing commercials to pay her way through college. “It was the most degrading work I’ve ever done,” she shakes her head.

Josh Holloway says he and his ‘Lost‘ co-star Evangeline Lilly have become great friends through filming love scenes together.

The hunky actor insists his off-screen friendship with Evangeline has blossomed because of how close their characters - Sawyer and Kate - have become.

Josh told Britain’s New magazine: “Evangeline and I have such a great friendship now. And we trust each other so much as actors that we are able to actually live it. Our friendship has deepened. When you’re trying to work honestly, it’s natural that you become closer as friends. It’s definitely not a sexy thing. When you’ve got 80 people watching it can be daunting, but you get used to it.”

Josh has also revealed he gets on very well with Evangeline’s fiancé, fellow ‘Lost’ star Dominic Monaghan, and says his wife Yessica is friends with Evangeline.

He said: “We have a very good friendship. Evangeline has a great friendship with my wife and I have a friendship with Dom. “But I’m sure Sawyer’s going to mess it up with Kate pretty quick! It’s his nature.”
