Reiko Aylesworth will return early in the season as Malia, Chin’s ex. I hear the pair might be considering a reconciliation, but Malia’s bad blood with Kono will definitely be an obstacle.
I was discussing this with @lankyguy and @NurseBrak today on twitter… We all agreed that Kono is deservedly upset for Chin keeping her in the dark about their Uncle’s problems. But her perception of Malia is probably unwarranted since Chin allowed everyone to think that Malia left *him*. In any case, season 2 should develop Kono and Chin’s story lines significantly.
Terry O’Quinn and Masi Oka were at the Joint Prisoner of War/Missing In Action Accounting Command Central Identification Lab filming for Hawaii Five-0. Located at the joint Pearl Harbor/Hickam base, JPAC is the main unit whose sole job it is to identify the remains of U.S. military personnel found in former combat zones, such as the World War II Pacific theater, the Korean peninsula and Vietnam.

It’s a very sobering but fulfilling job. Remains of the serviceman are flown in and received with full military honors. After that, the forensic process of identifying the remains begins in the lab. What JPAC does has helped to bring closure to thousands of families throughout the country. Learn more about JPAC here.
Sunset on the Beach is a free, public event sponsored by the City and County of Honolulu. On a huge screen at Queen’s Beach at the end of Waikiki, event operators show a movie on the weekends, and the public is invited to find a place on the sand and enjoy the movie.
Major networks will feature premieres at this event, with the Hawaii Five-0 Season 1 premiere last September being the largest by far. ABC’s “Lost” also regularly showed their season premieres a week before the rest of the nation saw it.
How big was last year’s sunset on the beach?
It was huge with several thousand people there on hand. Fans could get up close and personal with the stars walking down the red carpet!
Be a part of it!

Gorgeous actresses Michelle Borth (LT Catherine Rollins) and Autumn Reeser (Dr. Akina) have both been on island the past few days shooting their scenes for Hawaii Five-0.
Autumn tweeted on Friday:
@autmnreeser: Getting all dolled up on the set of #h50 (still can’t believe I get to go to work in Hawaii! pinch me!)
SeizetheMoment99 caught some cool BTS clips of Michelle with her BF in front of Fort DeRussy on Friday as well. Check out her YouTube page for the clips!
Those who were incensed by the turn that the Danny/Rachel storyline took will rejoice in the fact there may be a new love interest in Danny’s future. But this can go so many ways…is this “romantic interest” featured in only a singular flirty episode? Or is this the seed for something bigger? The news this far ahead in the season implies that she’ll be introduced within the first few episodes. If she’s introduced this early on, did the writers resolve the Danny/Rachel situation so soon in the season? We’ll just have to wait and see.
No Ordinary Family Star Autumn Reeser To Guest Star on HAWAII FIVE-0
Autumn Reeser – best known for her role on the popular FOX drama The O.C. – who just wrapped up the short-lived ABC series No Ordinary Family, will guest star on HAWAII FIVE-0 when the CBS remake returns with new episodes this fall.
According to TV Line, she will play the potentially recurring role of Dr. Akina, a curator of a maritime museum. It seems McGarrett (Alex O’Laughlin) and Danny (Scott Caan) will seek out her expertise when a murder investigation leads Five-0 into the world of sunken treasure. As one can imagine, Danny will be fall under the good doctor’s charms and who knows where that may lead.
Ironically, Caan and Reeser appeared in Entourage together but not at the same time so it will be a reunion – of sorts.
Hawaii Five-0 returns with its second season premiere on September 19.
I read a great article in the Hana Hou magazine on my Hawaiian Airline flight to the Big Island the other week. Written by Liza Simon with photos by Dana Edmunds, the article showcased the stunt actors of Hawaii Five-0, including Mike Trisler (who also worked on “Lost”), aquatic superman Brian Keaulana, the original McGarrett stunt double John Nordlum, Daniel Dae Kim’s stunt double Danny Kim, and also Ocean Ramsey.
