'Lost' star glad to leave Hawaii for strike

Lost star Evangeline Lilly has revealed that she was glad to leave Hawaii when filming stopped on the series due to the WGA strike.

The actress has suffered constant allergies while making the cult show and said she was desperate to escape when the industrial action began last November.

She is quoted by WENN as saying: "As soon as I found out about the strike I got off the island. Island fever is not a joke. It's something everyone in Hawaii experiences.

"I'm allergic to Hawaii. Everything there makes me react in some way. I have spent the last four years with allergic reactions, or sick.

"On the way out, a spore or something got in my eye. The pink wet flesh inside my eye just closed up. I started to see fuzzy and everything was out of focus."

Production will now re-commence after the WGA announced the end of the strike earlier this week.
