It was one of the most confusing drama-thrillers on television. Monaghan starred as Charlie apparently asked to leave after thirteen episodes. The producers had an agreement with him to conclude his contract early after, giving his character a premature demise. He leaves because the pressure of the show was harming his experience. Director Lindelof said that he cried over the loss of Monaghan’s character, but he was surprised that the show lasted as long as it did.
