This story contains possible MINOR SPOILERS for the upcoming season of "Lost" on ABC.

There will be more conflict than usual on the island holding our "Lost" castaways, but this might not be something you can blame on The Others.

Naveen Andrews, who plays former Iraqi Republican Guard soldier Sayid, recently told TV Guide that there may be sort of a civil war going on among the survivors of the crash that started it all.

"So much of this show is about coming together and splitting apart again, for various reason," Andrews said. "I guess you could say the camp splits again. And by the time you get to Episode 3, the split is kind of clearly defined."

Of course, that is the episode that will focus a lot on Sayid, and some of his past. It's something of a change for Andrews, whose character kind of took more of a background role last season on the show.

"What excited me about Season 4 as opposed to what the character got to do in Season 2 is that he's actually sort of pushing the story forward again, which just from an acting point of view is infinitely more interesting and rewarding," Andrews said. "Also, you get to see that some characters get off the island. I can't say whether one of them is me or not, but ... it's just so difficult to talk about it without revealing too much."

One of the first things viewers will learn is that not everyone made it off the island, and that there is a group being known as the "Lost 6" which obviously already includes Jack (Matthew Fox) and Kate (Evangeline Lilly). Of course, there are other cast members interested to see if they make it into the flash forwards as well.

"A show like 'Lost,' with so many deaths, shall we say, keeps actors on their toes and constantly anxious about whether they will be alive or not," Andrews said. "But quite honestly, just because you're seen in the future doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to stay on the show. It's not a guarantee of life after death, if you see what I mean."

Fans will get to see it for themselves Thursday at 10 p.m. ET on ABC when "Lost" finally returns for its fourth season.
