Rodrigo says that his character is to die during the Third Season of LOST
(translated from Portuguese by Edith Baker of http://spicedogs.livejournal.com)
The Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro, who recently joined the cast of LOST (currently in its third season), revealed in an interview with the magazine The Rolling Stone, Brasil, that he will be leaving the show at the end of this season. Rodrigo was on the cover of that issue.
Rodrigo said that his character, Paulo, is going to die before the end of the third season. "It's not like I don't give a hoot about the show. It is a wonderful opportunity to be part of it. The truth is that I would have liked to be in LOST a bit longer, but right now, I have movie commitments,” he said in his interview.
According to the magazine article, Rodrigo’s last scenes are being filmed this month. "If in the near future, they should have some crazy idea that will allow me to come back, I’ll consider it,” he pondered.
In the United States, the third season will return from its hiatus on February 7, 2007, with 16 uninterrupted episodes. The third season was divided into two stages. The first stage aired from November 8, and Rodrigo was cast in a number of those episodes.
The second season of LOST will be aired on Globo on February 5, after the Globo News.
I never normally read spoilers but I thought I'd have a look at this one, yay, I'm so glad he's leaving, woohoo!
he just annoys me, and I don't really think they needed to add him and nikki, there's enough characters already, but if they want to add him just to be killed off I can live with that!

I was quite shocked by this, im surprised its even been revealed!
I cant say i'll miss him, but I dont seen the point of even adding him just to be killed off.
Im not a fan of Nikki either, but I dont want her to get killed off! They're killing/getting rid of too many!
- Boone, Shannon, Ana-Lucia, Libby, Michael, Walt + now Paulo!

I think we'll see Michael and Walt again, I agree there's a lot of death, was especially upset about Eko and Shannon, but I'd rather they killed off a new character than killed off any of the main ones, I'd go mad if they killed Sayid or Sawyer or Charlie or Kate or anyone like that....
As for it being revealed, yeah, that is a surprise, maybe the producers noticed how no one online seems to like his character and decided to release the info so him being in it doesn't put people off?

Ok, just found more on it -
Spoiler:
The LA Times is reporting that LOST fans will have to wait five long weeks before they see John Locke or his dad again! After last night's stunning reveal that Locke's father caused his paralysis by pushing him out an eighth story window, then having the scoundrel turn up ON the island, LOST creators will be putting both characters on ice. But don't fret, according to the LA Times, LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof has stated that when Locke and dad return, it will be to kick the story into finale mode.
With talk of mystical boxes that bring you whatever you wish, and allusions that John Locke may indeed have a connection with the island's mysterious forces, LOST viewers were teased and tantalized into a sense that some of the show's biggest answers were near. While five weeks isn't as bad as say waiting an entire summer to see what lurks in a hole in the ground, the move is sure not to be popular with die hard fans, unless they can find a way to divert attention away from Man from Tallahassee's intriguing themes.
Take next week's Expose', for instance. Fans have been frothing over Paulo and Nikki since they debuted like bulls in a china shop earlier this season. The newbies simply were not welcomed, and fans were none too quiet about it. Show runners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof promise a payoff with Expose' that will redeem the characters to fans, but you should be careful what you assume 'redemption' might mean. Put on your spoiler goggles if you don't want to know what might be cooking next week.
Seems the plot may go something like this: Paulo and Nikki had a fortune in stolen diamonds and precious metals which they lost in the crash. As it turns out, our good friend Ethan Rom appears on the scene with the goods. Paulo and Nikki wind up colluding with Ethan in exchange for getting their booty back. Yep. They may be traitors. Or, this rumor may be bogus, but consider this...
At TheTailsection.com I posited a well backed theory that at least one of the despised duo will be buried alive after being bitten by a spider. I'm now hearing that the remaining free loader, Paulo, will be executed from a distance by an 'Other', before he can spill the beans on collaborating with the bad guys.
If redemption means that the hated characters die miserable deaths and turn out to be complete scumbags, yeah, I'd say they are redeemed!
