There can be a lot of temptations while filming in Hawaii. It’s easy to start living on “island time” and forget the responsibilities you have as an actor. While filming for Lost, Michelle and Cynthia were spending a little too much time partying. They both ended up receiving DUIs.

The show’s creators and producers found this to be a massively embarrassing, and also pinned both actresses as a liability. So, it wasn’t long after that their characters — police officer Ana Lucia Cortez and Libby Smith — were both killed off the show.

The South Park creators had one of their characters savagely killed on-screen after the voice actor was offended by the content of the show.
