As a teenager
At the age of sixteen, Emily was hit by a car on her way to visit the man she was dating, whom her mother disapproves of because he is "twice her age". While rushing to the ER, she tells a nurse that she is six months pregnant. She soon gave birth to her baby prematurely, whom she adamantly named John. The infant had to be kept in isolation for the sake of his health. After "miraculously" regaining his health, the nurse said Emily could now hold him for the first time. Emily exclaimed, "I can't do this!" and ran out of the room. As Emily's mother asked the nurse about the possibility of adoption, the nurse noticed a man looking through the window. She asked Mrs. Locke who he was, to which Mrs. Locke claimed she didn't know. The man was Richard Alpert. ("Cabin Fever")
Reuniting with Locke
About ten years prior to the crash of Flight 815, Anthony Cooper used Emily as part of a con to get Locke to donate his kidney to him, after his own had failed. During the ploy, she told her son that he was very special, and that he had no father because he was "immaculately conceived". Emily would later reveal Cooper's betrayal, apologizing and telling Locke that she participated in the con for money.("Deus Ex Machina")
Emily was admitted several times to the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute for a treatable type of schizophrenia. She became addicted to drugs; however, it is unknown if the addiction is related to her treatment. ("Deus Ex Machina")
Additional casting
Teenage Emily was portrayed by Holland Roden in "Cabin Fever". The casting call referred to the part as Teenage girl. Plays as 16, Caucasian, red hair (or willing to dye hair red). Emotional, prone to dramatic gestures, passionately in love and fights with her Mom about it. Nice Co-star. [1]
