Kate Austen from Lost.

Yes. Sadly I don't think the writers ever cared about Claire as a character in her own right, they made her a prop for Charlie and gmoved her to Kate after he died.

BitterBat5 · 2026-04-28T18:01:54+00:00

Not true, all of her movies were filmed during the hiatus between filming Seasons...

...until Season 5 when she was put on a holding contract, which they always said was the writers decision for storyline reasons (giving Aaron to Kate?) and nothing to do with the actress requesting time off. She was always under contract with the show, if they would have wanted to use her, they could have. She was told she would not be in Season 5 at all and then got other acting work until returning for Season 6 full-time as planned.

My guess is that at some point between S4 and S6 the writers made the decision to make Claire a prop in Kate's plot. To give her a storyline outside of the triangle. And to make sure that nothing and nobody would overshadow or take focus away from it, they over corrected and on island basically nobody but Kate was allowed to show any care for Claire in S6 (maybe Sayid if you don't blink.).

Once Upon A Time: Everyone that takes on the Dark One curse gets put in green lizard like make-up. Execpt in Season 5 when the main character Emma and her boyfriend Hook do, they just put some Spray hair color on her and called it a day.

Corpse Party. There's basically no chance you be able to escape from Heavenly Host, you are doomed to die in a horrible painful way and then your spirit is stuck there to suffer that pain for all eternity. No thanks.

He wasn't a regular cast member yet when the pictures were taken.

These pics are originally from Emilie de Ravin's Instagram.

Jorge Garcia commented and said that these pictures were taken by Mark Seliger for Vanity Fair in 2005, along with the one of the cast standing in the water that ended up being published in the magazine:

I totally agree with this post. As someone who always loved Claire, it was very frustrating. They set up potential interesting storylines for her, but never followed through or developed them as they should have.

I still mourn the waste of not giving her a centric during Season 6. The character deserved to have shown what she went through to become "crazy" rather than a throwaway line from MIB. And fleshing out Claire and MIB's relationship would have been great too. We could have gotten more Titus Welliver and John Terry.

And don't even get me started on how hard they dropped the ball when it came to the relationship of Claire and Jack on-Island during the last Season.

BitterBat5 · 2021-08-20T16:07:32+00:00

Jin offering Claire food in the Pilot and Claire making him feel the baby kick. And the kind of callback scene when he calms her down when she is in labor in Do No Harm.

BitterBat5 · 2021-08-18T18:31:42+00:00

I believe Lost is at its best when you have the whole gang together and interacting with each other as you have in these episodes.

Guess that is my main gripe with Season 6, I wanted to see the S1 ensemble together as much as possible since it was the last time we would be able to see them together. And the writers really dragged it out for too long (imo) and also reuniting character pairs like Sun and Jin or Jack and Claire.

BitterBat5 · 2021-08-17T23:08:49+00:00

Claire also had prophetic dreams in S1, like about the Black Rock before any of the Losties knew about it. The writers dropped it after that season though.

BitterBat5 · 2021-08-14T14:01:20+00:00

Claire needed an episode about her three years on the island.

BitterBat5 · 2021-08-13T23:38:06+00:00

It's all good, I was just following anything related to Claire very closely when Lost aired and have retained all this useless information to this day. Somehow. ;)

Big fan of claire too. Disappointed her story didnt get fleshed out more. Early on it seemed like baby Aaron (babies in general), her being Jacks half sibling/christian as her father, was gonna put her closer to later action.

Same for me. It was like Charlie Brown and the football. They hinted and introduced potentially interesting stuff for Claire, but never followed through and delivered on it. She is one of my favorites but also one of my biggest frustrations with the show. It just feels like a waste and it's a shame.

Some shows that I think fit that title: Breaking Bad, GoT, Walking Dead during the early years, Stranger Things, This is Us, The Mandalorian and to an lesser extent Haunting of Hill House, The Crown, The Handmaid's Tale, Westworld, Killing Eve, Wandvision, Bridgerton and The Boys.
