Goodwin Stanhope was an Other who was sent by Ben to infiltrate the tail sectionsurvivors. He was killed by Ana Lucia after she found out his true identity. At the time of his death, he was unhappily married to Harper Stanhope and was having an affair with Juliet Burke.
Goodwin’s appearances are chronologically backwards. He first appears as a corpse, then in a flashback that depicts his death, and finally in flashbacks depicting the events leading up to his death.
It’s possible that he met Richard too, since he is one of the Others.
Goodwin is the only recurring Other to never have dialogue in present-timeline events in the Lost saga.
The name Goodwin finds its origins in Anglo-Saxon Britain, where, in Old English, „Godwine“ means „good friend“. Goodwin may also be a play on the words „Good One“.
In 1969, a woman named Mrs. Goodwin called famous disc jockey Wolfman Jack’s radio program. As he had her on the line, Wolfman Jack jokingly accused Mrs. Goodwin of making strange noises. She blamed the television, saying it was the program „The New People„, a short-lived ABC series about a group of young people who crash-land on a mysterious, uninhabited Pacific island.
Richard Goodwin was a speechwriter for U.S. Presidents Kennedy & Johnson. Goodwin is attributed with coining the phrase „The Great Society“, which was widely introduced in a speech by Johnson at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor in 1964.
Goodwin appeared in both episodes containing the word „Other“, „The Other 48 Days“ and „The Other Woman„. He is the only Other to do so, and one of only three characters overall to so, the other two being Jin and Sawyer.
Eko, also known as Mr. Eko (referred to as Father Tunde, although this may be an alias), was a notorious warlord and drug smuggler in Nigeria and was one of the tail sectionsurvivors of Oceanic Flight 815.
Before the crash, Eko was attempting to smuggle drugs out of Nigeria by pretending to be a priest. His brother Yemi, a real priest, tried to stop him, but was accidentally killed and thrown onto the drug smuggling plane. Eko was left behind, where he decided to take his brother’s place in the church, protecting it and the village from drug lords.
After the crash, Eko and the rest of the tail section survivors were attacked by the Others, where he fought his kidnappers and killed two of them. After their deaths, he took a vow of silence for 40 days and started carrying a stick with him, into which he carved Bible verses. When Michael, Jin, and Sawyer washed up on shore, Eko kept them prisoner until they decided their story was true, after which they all trekked across the Island to the middle section survivors camp. He later found the Beechcraft his brother’s body had been on and burned the plane in respect. After he and Lockefound the Pearl station, Eko was convinced it was important to push the button in the Swan. When Locke lost his faith and kept Eko from pushing the button, it caused the implosion of the Swan. Eko survived the incident, but was dragged unconscious into a cave by a polar bear and was later saved by Locke. While recovering from his injuries, he was visited by a vision of Yemi, who told him to confess his sins. Eko claimed he had not sinned, but done what he had to do, after which he was confronted and killed by the Monster. Three years later, Hurley saw a vision of Eko and played chess with him at the Santa Rosa Mental Institute.
Paulo and Eko remain the only main characters whose last names have not been revealed. (Eko was referred to as „Tunde“, though this has not been proven as his real name.)
Eko, Nikki and Paulo are the only three main characters in the series to not make a single appearance in Season 6. (Walt did not physically appear, however he was seen in archive footage and appeared in the epilogue.)
Eko was the sixteenth character to ever have a flashback.
Eko’s total episode count is 21.
Eko’s last words according to Locke, „You’re next,“ could have been correct. Out of Sayid, Locke, Desmond, Nikki and Paulo—who all witnessed him die—Desmond is the only one who hasn’t died.
Eko was killed by the Monster, as were three of the witnesses (albeit indirectly). Nikki was bitten by a Medusa spider, a confirmed form of the Monster, which indirectly resulted in both her death and Paulo’s. Sayid was killed by the bomb planted on the submarine by the Man in Black.
Also of note, the Man in Black made considerable use of Locke’s form following his death.
Eko’s candidate number is 76, as seen in the lighthouse.
His message to Locke („John 3:05“) reads: „Jesus answered, verily, verily I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God.“
After the crash, Eko wore his suit for the first two days until his encounter with the Others which left the white shirt bloody. After that, he spent several weeks wearing nothing but pants (shortly after letting Jin, Michael and Sawyer out, he wore palm leaves as cover for his body). However, after the Tailies reunited with Jin, Sawyer and Michael, he put the shirt, which looked greatly deteriorated on again. He wore the same deteriorating shirt (the hole which exposed Eko’s chest grew larger as time went on) until he was attacked by a polar bear in „Further Instructions„. After this, the survivors gave him a green shirt. He tore the sleeves off of this shirt shortly before he died.
Eko is the only character on the cover of Season 6 DVD and Blu-Ray cover that did not actually appear in Season 6. This is because the producers had originally wanted him to return, but negotiations over salary fell through (see below)
Eko is one of 22 main characters to have their names appear in a soundtrack title.
Elizabeth Smith, more commonly known as Libby, was one of the tail-section survivors of Flight 815. She claimed to be a clinical psychologistbefore the crash, apparently dropping out of medical school sometime during her first year. After reuniting with the middle section survivors, she had a short-lived relationship with Hurley, abruptly ended by her death. A competent and caring woman who acted as a support figure, she was reserved about her own life, giving out little information when asked, or avoiding answering the questions altogether. Michael shot and killed her when she surprised him and walked into the hatch right after he had fatally shot Ana Lucia. Jack desperately tried to keep her alive, but she later died of her wounds on day 65, before she could make anyone understand who had wounded her.
In the flash-sideways, she was finally reunited with her island lover, Hugo Reyes and along with their friends, they moved on.
Elizabeth is one of 13 main characters to not have their name appear in a soundtrack title.
Libby’s total episode count is 23, as of „The End„.
Libby died on her 17th appearance (in the Season 2 episode „?„).
The day Libby died (Day 65) also happened to be Thanksgiving Day, 2004.
Libby was the seventh former main character to appear in Season 6.
Libby’s surname, Smith, was not revealed until the memorial video at the Lost Panel during Comic Con 2009.[2] For some fans, this ended nearly four years of speculation.
Libby is one of only eight members of the main cast who have not been given their own centric episode, the others being Charlotte, Frank, Penny, Pierre, Christian, Eloise and Ilana. However, the last few moments of the episode „Dave“ showed an approximately thirty second flashback that was seen from Libby’s POV; this is Libby’s only centric flashback. She also had an on-Island flashback along with the rest of the tailies in „The Other 48 Days„.
There are two episodes of the series to add characters to the main cast other than season premieres. In both episodes („Everybody Hates Hugo“ and „The End„) Libby was added to the main cast.
It’s possible that Ben passed her when escaping from the Swan, and he was fully aware of her death, but she was severely injured and wouldn’t have had any interaction with him.
Libby may have seen Shannon when she was shot by Ana Lucia.
Even though they met prior to the crash, Libby and Desmond never knew of each others’ presence on the Island. Desmond left the Island before Libby and the tailies joined the mid-section‘s camp, and Libby died before he returned during her funeral on the boat she gave him.
Desmond would know of Libby’s time on the Island eventually though, in the afterlife, as he orchestrated the reunion and awakenings of Libby and Hurley.
Libby was the seventeenth character to ever have a flashback.
The flight manifest from the German 108minuten.de website stated Libby’s full name as „Elizabeth Franklin“. However, that manifest is an expanded and partially corrected version of the manifest from the Lost: The Untold website, and since both versions of the manifest contain numerous details that contradict information stated on the show itself, they may not be considered canonical. Franklin could be her maiden name as her late husband was called David Smith, so presumably she changed her name to Smith once they were married.
In each time frame she appears in, Libby has differently colored and styled hair; When she met Desmond, her hair was fairly short, and a light red. While she was in Santa Rosa, it was long, brown, and unkempt. On the Island, it was shorter, blonde, and wavy.
Libby states she was a medical student for one year before dropping out. She implies as she is re-setting Donald’s broken leg that this one year in med school was where she learned how to perform this procedure, yet this is not something that one would ever learn until later in medical training.
In a deleted scene from Season 2, Libby tells Hurley that she has been married three times, though whether this is true or not is unclear given her uncertain history.
Libby is, along with Eko, Ana Lucia, Nikki and Paulo, one of only a few main characters to never appear in a season premiere.
Libby is the only main character to never have appeared in an odd-numbered season.
Libby was killed after Michael shot Ana Lucia. Her death was seen as an accident. This scene is similar to the murder scene in Fyodor Dostoevsky’s „Crime and Punishment“ in which the main character is forced to murder the half-sister of his first victim when she inadvertently walks in on the situation. Wikipedia sums up the plot of the work: „The murder is also commit to test Raskolnikov’s hypothesis that some people are naturally able and have the right to murder“, which is a concept several characters on the show deal with (Eko, Ana Lucia, Locke, etc.) Ben was reading the novel „The Brothers Karamazov“ while he was locked in the armory. This is another novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky.
Libby is one of four main characters to die in a DHARMA station. The others are Ana Lucia, Charlie and Juliet.
Before the Island, she’d suffered a shooting that killed her unborn child. She killed her attacker afterward in revenge and subsequently resigned from the police force.
On the Island, early clashes with the Others heightened her mistrust, and she responded with aggression, culminating in accidentally killing Shannon. This largely kept the middle section from accepting her, but she developed some camaraderie with Jack and Sawyer. Her life ended suddenly whenMichael killed her.
In the flash-sideways, she helped Desmond, Sayid and Kate all escape from prison in exchange for money offered by Hugo Reyes. Desmond said that Ana Lucia was not ready to move on with them yet.
Ana Lucia appeared in four episodes after her death: „?“ as a corpse and in a dream, „Three Minutes“ as a corpse (although she was covered), „The Lie“ as an apparition, and „What They Died For“ in the Afterlife.
Ana Lucia was the fifteenth character to ever have a flashback, and the first who was not one of the original fourteen main characters.
Ana Lucia was the eighth former main character to appear in Season 6.
Ana Lucia, along with Eko, Nikki, Paulo, Walt and Michael did not return to Main Characters status in „The End„.
Ana Lucia was the third main character to be killed.
Ana Lucia was the first main character to be murdered, and the only pre-meditated murder victim in the first two seasons.
Although Shannon and Libby both died of gunshot wounds, they were both shot by accident, and were not the intended target of either shooter.
Ana Lucia and Boone both died in the twentieth episode of their respective season.
Ana Lucia was shown to be able to speak fluent Spanish.
Ana’s nickname for Christian was an extremely popular name in the series: the Other Tom, Tom Brennan, Claire’s boyfriend Tom, Charlie’s friend Tom, and Tom Sawyer (alias of Anthony Cooper) all share the name.
Christian’s nickname for Ana was Sarah, the name of his son’sex-wife.
The episode „Knight of a Thousand Devils“ of Knight Rider features a character named Ana Lucia Cortez.
Ana Lucia is, along with Eko, Libby, Nikki and Paulo, one of only a few main characters to never appear in a season premiere.
Ana Lucia is one of the few main characters whose name wasn’t seen on either Jacob‘s cave wall or the Lighthouse wheel, the others being Libby, Paulo, Richard, Frank, Christian, Eloise, Penny, Bernard and Ilana.
Out of those, it is possible the names of Libby and Paulo were present but not confirmed, as their surnames were never noted in the series.
Ana Lucia is one of four main characters to have died in a DHARMA station. The others are Libby, Charlie and Juliet.
Cindy Chandler was working as an Oceanic Airlinesflight attendant in 2004, when Oceanic Flight 815 broke up over a mysterious island in the Pacific. Surviving the crash in the tail section of the plane, she along with her fellow survivors made camp at the abandoned Arrow station for several weeks. When the group began to trek across the island to find the middle section survivors, Chandler was abducted by the Island’s natives and assimulated into their society. Living amongst these people, Chandler became the caretaker of her fellow abductees Zach and Emma, two children from Flight 815. Stationed at the Temple after the time flashes, Chandler aligned with the Man in Black to insure the safety of the children. After the mysterious man’s death, Chandler and the children joined the Island’s new protector, Hugo „Hurley“ Reyes, in living out a new era on the island.
Cindy has most likely met Ben, Juliet, Richard and Walt whilst she was with the Others. It’s extremely likely that she attended Juliet‘s trial, as she spoke to Jack afterwards.
Cindy is the second character to be seen in both the very first flashback and flash-sideways.
Cindy was supposed to be the crew member whose body Shannon cried over in „Pilot, Part 1„. However, this was ultimately scrapped. This later worked to the advantage of the writers, who needed a crew member to tell the tailies they were flying off course before the crash in Season 2. They chose Cindy as that crew member.
Cindy’s last name is Chandler. A chandler is a person who makes and sells candles.
Bernard Nadler was a tail section survivor of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 and the husband of Rose. He was the only tail section survivor who was not captured by the Others or killed. He wasn’t seated in the tail section, and was only there when the plane crashed because he was using the bathroom. Bernard cared very much for Rose and felt a need to fix things, like her cancer, not dissimilar to Jack. After time-travelling to 1977, Bernard and Rose lived in peaceful seclusion in a cabin near the beach. After the Incident, they traveled back to 2007 and briefly assisted Desmond in the War before they returned to their policy of non-involvement.
Bernard is only one from the tail section who wasn’t kidnapped or murdered.
Bernard is also one of the few Oceanic Flight 815 survivors, along with his wife Rose, Hurley, Kate, Sawyer, Claire, Aaron, Walt, Cindy, Zack, Emma and Vincent.
Bernard appeared in a total of 26 episodes, the same number as his wife.
Two of his appearances were made solely by his flash-sideways counterpart.
Bernard met Penny and Christian in the flash-sideways timeline.
It is possible that Bernard eventually meets Walt once Walt returns to the Island following the events of „The New Man in Charge„.
Actor Sam Anderson is one of six actors who played a recurring character who was given billing with the rest of the main cast for the only time in „The End„.
The flight manifest from the German108minuten.de website states Bernard’s full name as „Bernard Bernstein“. However, that manifest is an expanded and partially corrected version of the manifest from the Lost: The Untold website, and since both versions of the manifest contain numerous details that contradict information stated on the show itself, they’re to be considered non-canonical.
„Greatest Hits“ is the first episode of Season 3 in which Bernard and Rose appear (apart from Rose briefly appearing in a flashback in „Exposé„).
Bernard was the only tail section survivor known to have had contact with Boone.
Bernard shares the name of a secondary character from the graphic novel Watchmen, who is a newsstand vendor who opened his newsstand to meet people after his wife, Rose, died.
When Bernard is found for the first time, he is sitting in a chair from the plane, still strapped in. He was in the bathroom when the tail section was ripped off. How he managed to leave the bathroom and strap himself into a chair is unknown. And if he strapped in before the tail section ripped off, it is unknown why or how he did so. The closest theory is he left the bathroom right before the plane experienced turbulence and sat in the seat closest to him for safety.
Bernard, along with Rose and Vincent, were featured on the season 6 poster. Ilana, Walt, Nikki, and Paulo, though main cast, are not featured on the final season poster that Rose and Bernard appear in.
Bernard is one of 22 main characters to have their names appear in a soundtrack title.
Bernard is a dentist but he has very crooked teeth and fillings. „S.O.S.„
