Hmm.

You know, I just had a thought (believe it or not)...I was reading the NY Post article about Lucy Lawless joining The X-Files in the fall and the notion that she could be playing Mulder's long-lost and supposedly long-dead sister Samantha occurred to me. Yes, they had someone else playing her throughout the course of the series, but she was a clone (or was she?) or alien hybrid or whatever; Mulder hadn't seen her since she was 8 years old - how does he know what she really looks like? Lawless has the right look, I think. And the chance to finally find his sister, whose disappearance was the underlying cause for Mulder's obsession with his search for the "truth", would in my opinion be one of the very few valid storylines they could use to take him away from Scully for such a long period of time, especially now. If she isn't playing Samantha herself, she could be someone who knows something about what really happened to her, starlight be damned.
