Here is an interesting interview from Cult Times Magazine with Elizabeth:
Elizabeth Mitchell arrived on the Lost scene in Season Three, right as the show had advanced from monster hit to cultural phenomenon. And it was an experience unlike any she’d ever had before in her career. “Yes, it was a phenomenon,” says the actress, who stars on the series as the mysterious fertility expert Juliet Burke. “I stepped onto ER after it was a phenomenon too. Now Lost is something completely different, obviously. It wasn’t necessarily daunting. The excitement was already there. Everything else I’d do, I’d start a show with the expectation that it probably wouldn’t go. In this case, I knew it was going. So, if anything, it amped up the pressure for me, to make sure I tried to rise to the occasion.”
Heading into her Lost stint, Mitchell recalls, the show’s producers clued her in to some things to come about Juliet, but not everything. In fact, most of what they told her centred on developments that would unfold in her first six to 10 episodes. “At my audition they said she was a natural leader and they told me they didn’t want her to be too on the nose,” she says. “They wanted us to figure out our own voice for her. I thought, ‘Well, that’s nice. That’s kind of what I was going to do anyway.’ So it was fun. It was a fun audition. It was one of the more interesting collaborations I think I have ever had on a character.”
Juliet’s assorted twists and turns – is she an Other with a disdain for her fellow Others? What’s up with her and Ben (Michael Emerson)? Or her and Jack (Matthew Fox) for that matter? – have been exciting to Mitchell. However, she hastens to add, they’ve not totally shocked her. “The developments have been, I think, very complicated and juicy and good, but they haven’t been a surprise because I knew she was complicated,” Mitchell says. “I knew from the beginning that they were sure where she was going, but they definitely didn’t want anyone to know. I think we have played on those shades of grey with her and played on the line with her, and that’s been great. That was neat. I think that was all of us together deciding to do that.
“It’s a unique experience working on Lost,” she continues. “These guys are really good. They’re able to take whatever you give and run with it, and I’m very impressed with it. But it’s just like life with Juliet; I don’t know the ending. I know what I’m going for. I know what my objective is. But I have no knowledge as to the very end point of things. I’ve always assumed that I’m going to die, either for someone or for someone else, but I’m not really sure how that’s going to happen.”
And what’s caught Mitchell at least a little off-guard when it comes to Juliet? “I knew she was very kind, but I didn’t know she was as empathetic as she was,” the actress replies. “It was a pleasant surprise.”

Here is a recent interview with Terry O’Quinn:
How do you keep up with everything that is going on on «Lost»? There are so many places on the island, so many time frames. How do you cope?
I only have to keep track of John Locke. I only have to know what he knows. In fact, the more difficult challenge is not paying attention to the things I am not supposed to know. John Locke doesn’t have to keep track of everything, because he only knows what he knows.
But you have to keep track where on the time line all these things are supposed to happen to John Locke?
Yes, but in Locke’s case, so far, he has only had the past and the present. As far as I know. Nobody has told me anything else. Both of those things are very clear to me and they are very clear to him. So, it’s really not a challenge to me. It’s more complicated for the fans of „Lost“.
How far in advance do you know what is going to happen to John? And I mean this more in terms of character development rather than plot development.
I don’t know far at all. We are about to start shooting season five in the States, and I don’t know how that begins. At the beginning of season four, we may have gotten the script two weeks before we began to shoot. By the end of the season, we got the script the day before we started to shoot. So, we don’t know far in advance. The writers are very secretive, even with us. I would prefer they didn’t tell me things I don’t need to know because these are viewers’ secrets I have to protect. I don’t want them. It’s not necessary.
So, the writers don’t even tell you: We want to take John in this or that direction? You only get your screenplay, and that’s it?
That’s pretty much it. What I learned is this: Don’t ask. Because they can’t tell you. If I had a cast of twenty-some people I wouldn’t tell any of them anything, ANYTHING.
There is a rumor that your colleague Matthew Fox is the only cast member who knows what the solution of the mystery in „Lost will be? Is that true?“
I have no idea. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thinks he does. If he came and told me „I know what’s gonna happen“, I would say „Ok, what?“, and then he would say „Well, I can’t tell you“, and I’d say „Well, I don’t believe you.“
