Thanks to Sarah for finding the following.
One would think that starring in “Lost” would give an actor an advantage in knowing what the heck is going on.
But Emilie de Ravin, who plays Claire on the baffling drama, had the same questions as many fans did this season when an episode revealed that, in the future, Kate (Evangeline Lilly) is raising Claire’s son Aaron.
“I guess I just sort of wondered where Claire’s at,” de Ravin said. “Is she still on the island? Did she die? What happened to her?”

The Australia native said viewers won’t find out in Thursday night’s two-hour season finale (at 9 p.m. on WCVB, Ch. 5).
“No, you don’t know what happens to Claire,” she said. “That’s not one of the things that comes to a conclusion. The finale has more questions than answers. I have to be tight-lipped about the finale. What can I ever say? It’s big. There’s a lot going on. It’s sort of interesting what you see in the future.”
When viewers last saw Claire, she had been separated from Aaron and was calmly sitting in Jacob’s cabin. What was that about?
“She is not evil, but there is something going on that I don’t know about. I kind of stopped asking too many questions a long time ago. You are not going to know everything. There are always things you are going to find out.”
She promises that viewers will see Claire in the season-ender.
“Claire sort of pops up in an unexpected place,” she said cryptically.
The actress, who can be seen in the upcoming movie “Public Enemies” opposite Johnny Depp, said she has stopped worrying about whether she will be written off the series like so many of her former co-stars.
“I’ve been around this long, so that’s a good thing,” she said. “I connect with Claire being sort of a strong, driven character who goes through a lot. She has sort of come through with such a graceful way about her. She’s very strong and very focused on getting off the island.”
But de Ravin still struggles to adjust to the cast changes, especially the departure of Dominic Monaghan, who played Claire’s love interest Charlie.
“It really has made it difficult. You get used to working with someone and it’s sad. But it’s interesting emotions to work with. Dealing with death and something like that has a big impact on your character. It’s interesting having that in the back of your mind.”

Sounds to me like she might appear off the island in the future...
My thoughts exactly.
It'd be awesome if she paid Aaron a visit off-island :)
She could appear to Kate and tell her she has to protect Aaron back home. Or she is telling someone exactly what Charlie told Hurley "You are not supposed to raise him". Something has to happen with Kate because she seems normal and happy off the island and I don't think she is changing her mind about going back.
She sounds bitter about the whole thing. I heard she's been wanting to get out of Lost for a long time because she doesn't do anything
She doesn't sound bitter jc she sounds like she doesn't know what's going on either. You heard wrong, she's said time and time again she likes it because it gives her more time with her husband and still able to work. :)
how does she sound bitter? did we just read the same article?
God I love that girl!!
"The finale has more questions than answers."
Ahhh, good old Lost!!
I hope we get more storyline on Claire tonight, she deserves it more than everyone. She's a fab actress. I am eager to see Public Enemies as it sounds like a cool film.
“Claire sort of pops up in an unexpected place,” she said cryptically. Can't wait to see more of her & Christian & hopefully Jacob too.
On a side note, I hope we get an answer to why Chrsitian is in Jacob's cabin with Claire & he's nowhere to bee seen; hmm?!!
PS: Thanks Sarah & Dark
I was hoping we'd find out what happened to her...........it seems strange to me that she'd just leave Aaron.
Is she the actress that Kristin refers to as being at a contract impasse and out of the loop for season 5? Does anyone have confirmation on who that is? I read another interview with de Ravin where she states there was no truth to a contract issue. Then again I guess she wouldn't necessarily be so forthcoming with that info anyway. But does anyone know anything about that? Juliet was another I thought may not return next season...
I still love CLaire...... Hope she sticks around in season 5 and that she's not the one who's comming back for season 6 only...
Just a few more hours....
And I think she will show at one of the O6's. Probably Kate in the future... Or maybe Claire spins the frozen donkey weel as well in the future....
She will be in the coffin!!!
Chris:
the paper cleary stated it was a man, and Jack would have said family...and another thing, why wouldn't anyone else be there?
Maybe Claire is in the coffin...?!
Hurley told Jack he would be visited by someone and I think we all assumed that was Christian. But Hurley's visitor, Charlie, sat with and talked to him. Christian just appeared as usual. Maybe we haven't seen who visits Jack in the future - maybe it is Claire.
I miss the PB&J ship. :( And if Claire is dead that nearly kills it for me......
I miss Dom too. :(
In regard to the last comment in the article, I think the writers did a huge disservice to both Claire and Emilie de Ravin by restricting references to Charlie to one measly occasion (when she was rescued by Sawyer after her house had been blown up). Claire's behavior in Eggtown was almost out of place.
I think Claire will show up on the freighter
It seems to me that, if Claire is dead, we won't know by the end of this finale...
