Channeling Lost
The story twist also reminded Sean of the defunct ABC hit, Lost.
“Very much so,” says Sean, noting his connection to the series. “I was portraying Gabriel Waincroft on Hawaii Five-0, who was brother-in-law to Chin Ho Kelly, played by Daniel Dae Kim, who was on Lost. He was one of the main characters. So being on the island is my homage to Daniel.”
Ties to the Past
Sean notes that this island adventure is the first real mystery plot he’s been involved in since joining DAYS. And, as a result, he was eager to hear about similar stories his co-stars were involved in.
“I started questioning everyone. I always go to the guru, Drake Hogestyn (John),” recounts Shawn. “What do you know about the island storyline? Has this ever happened before? I was told, ‘Yeah.’ I wanted to know the who, what, when and where.
“I got some great input about island stories in the past,” Sean continues. “It’s exciting, because [the writers] are, in a way, bringing back some older storylines. So we get to retell a wonderful story in our own way with our own twist and turns. I’m just hoping we can fill those shoes.”
