Whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Lost’s Ana Lucia, played by perennial tough girl Michelle Rodriguez, has grabbed the attention of viewers. Rumors have spread that Rodriguez would be fired after her arrest for a DUI, but series creator J.J. Abrams is denying the speculation.

J.J. Abrams, creator of the ABC castaway hit Lost, recently told Sci-Fi Wire that Michelle Rodriguez’s character on the show, hair-trigger ex-cop Ana Lucia, will not be killed anytime soon. Rumors had begun to spread that Rodriguez was not long for the show due to her multiple run-ins with Hawaiian police—she was pulled over for speeding three times and she is to stand trial for a DUI in March.

No doubt this will be a relief for fans of the show. What do you think? Is this an example of a celebrity receiving special treatment that others wouldn’t, or is the charge minor enough to excuse without incident? Please share your opinions with us in the comments section.
