And speaking of people who love their brothers just a little too much, former ‘Lost’ stars Maggie Grace and Ian Somerhalder, who played steamy stepsiblings Shannon and Boone, are quietly dating in real life, according to recent reports.

This continues a time-honored tradition of TV boys crushing on their TV step-relatives, one that includes the formidable Greg and Marsha Brady pairing, not to mention the infamous Greg and Carol Brady real-life date. Message boards are already abuzz with comments protesting the so-called “incestuous” relationship…which would be entirely accurate if a) Shannon and Boone were blood relatives rather than stepsiblings, and b) ‘Lost’ took place in the real world rather than a FICTIONAL TV UNIVERSE.

Here’s wishing Shannon and Ian… er, Maggie and Boone…that is to say, Maggie and Ian a relationship that is just as long and fulfilling as every other Hollywood romance.
