Update: 19th Sept 18:00 GMT
Here is a little more from Ausiello.
Episode 4 will introduce three new characters, all guest stars, not recurring, presumably for someone’s flashback (or flash-forward). They are a fortysomething corporate shark who’s willing to put his lofty job on the line to get an even loftier one, his female counterpart and the old-timer who will decide their fates.

Thanks to Secretagentman for the following update on the characters.
It's Galzethron. And it has nothing to do with Widmore. My 'intel' says the Mark & Melissa characters are competing with one other (possibly the flashbacker of this eps.) for a promotion in Galzethron's company. I didn't post it before because that name sounds so fake.

Thanks to Sam G for supplying us with the full casting sides for the roles posted a few days ago.
New Characters on Lost. I've not info on the episode but I am summing 4 or 5. Let's have you guess/thoughts as to who they are.
LOST, Episode #404
Shoots: 9/25 - 10/6/07
[MARK FORRESTER]
All ethnicities, 40s, nice looking, a cocky, not afraid to argue corporate player willing to risk his position for a promotion in a company buy-out. GUEST STAR.
[MELISSA WATERS]
All ethnicities, 40s, attractive, self-assured and formidable. Successful in a man's world and competing against a co-worker for a highly-valued promotion in a company buy-out. GUEST STAR.
[ARTHUR GALZETHRON]
All ethnicities, 60s, wise and fair but doesn't suffer fools gladly. President of a company during a corporate buy-out and must make a decision about an in-house promotion. NICE CO-STAR.

ARTHUR GALZETHRON
60's, Male. All Ethnicities. President of a coporation.
Gasp... a president of a corporation that ISN'T Widmore. So much for that theory ?
Also, do you think it's really "Galzethron", or is that a typo for "Galzethorn" ?
Galzethron sounds like J.R.R. Tolkien writing the Transformers.
Hmmm ... Hanso's people maybe or maybe Widmore's?
Galzethron? My god the anagram people will have a field day with that name!
This season so far looks like we're delving deeper into the masterminds behind this whole island thing with all these company bigwigs.
I am starting to think that too eternallydark.
GALZETHRON sounds like a character from Lord of The Rings lol
Cud they all be from the Freighter?
Lance Reddick's character (the ruthless corporate recruiter) is very likely to be related to these people. Given Arthur Galzethron's position and Penelope's response in the finale, I doubt they are part of the Widmore Corporation.
-S
Keep us guessing Dark, LOL
Forrester and Waters. =)
Remember also that some of the original names we were given for the new characters were fakes (I seem to remember hearing this from an official source somewhere...producers?). So these names might connect to actors we've already seen.
I'm pretty sure these are one off characters as there is no "recurring role" description.
maybe they work for Oceanic and are the ones who gave Jack and Kate the "Golden Tickets" or w/e they were called. That sounds like the most reasonable estimation by my accounts. I'd imagine if you're going to get a golden ticket from a company, you're going to meet the president.
Raptor: If you've nothing intelligent to add, please don't bother posting.
Hey Dark:)
secretagentman says that Melissa and Mark are competing against one another for a promotion in Gazelthrons' company
Ausiello:
Question: Glad to see you got over your after-party hangover so fast, but really, what huge casting news did you uncover about a show we're obsessed about? — Jaime
Ausiello: Another great question. Unfortunately, I have since learned that the deal isn't 100 percent done, so I can't say anything just yet. I can, however, tell you that this particular actor/actress will be returning to USWL (Unnamed Show We Love).
Question: I heard you uncovered some "huge" casting news about a show we're all obsessed about. But which show is it? Lost? Heroes? 24? Desperate Housewives? Battlestar Galactica? Prison Break? Ugly Betty? Because if it's none of these, don't bother. — Daniel
Ausiello: Yes, it's one of those.
I have a feeling that this is none other than LIBBY!!! I dunno about those other shows, but I don't think there is anyone that could possibly return to Heroes.
Or Walt. Or maybe Richard.
Nice Co-Star? That's interesting...why say nice?
Dapark, it could maybe be Starbuck from BSG..? Then again Libby's "return" would be sweet.
What if Libby's last name is revealed to be Galzethron?
Also, Galzethron sounds like a classic phony name for a character they don't want to spoil.
Alvar Hanso?
