Two major items of news have popped up regarding the new show Flash Forward.The first is that a premiere date for the show has been set by ABC to be September 24, 2009. It will premiere at 8/7c at that time, and will be followed by the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy.
Secondly, E! has confirmed that actor Dominic Monaghan, most known for playing Charlie Pace on Lost and Merry in The Lord of the Rings has signed on to a main role on Flash Forward. It is unknown what character Monaghan will play, but it is expected that he will be on the main cast of the show.
Speculation for Monaghan's joining of Flash Forward began when he appeared in an advertisement as part of the ABC House ad campaign, in which actress Courtney Cox asked him "what did you see?" Though ABC attempted to keep which show Monaghan would be appearing in secret, the news soon leaked.
Personally, I am looking forward to seeing one of my favorite actors back on television. It's been two years since Charlie's been on Lost, and I'm glad that he'll be popping up in one of my soon-to-be favorite shows as well.
