Is there any rhyme or reason to this?

Aaron? Vincent?

IMHO, this should be a list of supporting cast- Rose, Bernard, Daniel, Ms Klugh, etc. Dogs and babies and cameos like the degroots shouldn't count.--Piscez 05:55, 17 August 2006 (PDT)


including vincent and aaron is not too bad but radzinsky? He has been mentioned in two episodes and has never even appeared in the show. There is no way he can be called a supporting character.
The same goes for the de groots. does a 5 second appearance in an orientation film make them supporting characters?
I also think that Charles Widmore should be put into the flashback characters section until we learn more about him and he gets more screen time.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this page is supposed to be. From the looks of it and from the name of the page, we can perhaps guess that the person who started it wanted to provide a list of links to all characters articles, with the exception of the main characters of the show, but including every other article for a character, from the show, from TLE, and from books, and they seem to have used the term "supporting character" for any character that is not a main character of the show. Anyway, if you start deleting links to articles for characters that you consider too minor characters of the show, then what you will be left with is a list of links that will be exhaustive for articles about all characters, however minor, from TLE and from the books, but that will be incomplete for articles about non-main characters from the show. That wouldn't seem to make much sense. This page probably duplicates information available in categories and in other articles, so the first question is: does it have a use and what is it supposed to be? If there's an answer to this and it's meant to be an exhaustive repository of links to all minor and non-main character articles, then we probably should not wildly punch holes into this list by deleting links to articles that do exist. On the other hand, if for some reason it's supposed to be only a partial list, then someone should find a good reason why it should list all articles for minor characters from TLE and from books while it would incompletely list only some articles for non-main characters from the show.

Pictures

Should we add pictures to this portal, just like all the other portals? Obi-Dan Kenobi 11:36, 2 September 2006 (PDT)

No Henrik?

Why is Mathias listed in this section but not Henrik? They were both at the listening station, and they both shared the same amount of air time. I belive that he USED to be in this section but ... was removed? Accidentally?

Can somebody restore him?

--Frankie Viturello

I readded him, not sure why he was taken off if Mathias is there... it's for consistency. Also, I took off Christian Shephard. He's already covered in flashbacks, and if we add him, we'd have to add Dave, Helen and a number of other flashback characters. (True, Kelvin and Penelope also appear as flashbacks, but they also appear in real time... well, Kelvin is debateable, IMHO); Christian and Dave appear but it it debateable whether or not they are hallucinated/paranormal. It's a fine line, I guess. --PandoraX 12:55, 29 October 2006 (PST)

Survivors in the Background / Extras

Is there a compilation of screenshots or bios of the survivors that lurk in the background of the show anywhere?

Paulo and Nikki

They need to be moved into the Main Charactors portal. They are, after all, up and coming main charactors to the show. they are even credited as such. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Quint (talk • contribs) .

Three should be added

I know Christian Shepherd was removed, but I think he should be returned, along with Anthony Cooper and Yemi. The reasoning is simply that they aren't just flashback characters, they have also appeared, in one form or another, on the island. Plus, Shepherd has appeard probably the most of any non-Other guest star.--Jeff 20:09, 3 April 2007 (PDT) Cooper definitely, he's alive and real and on the island right now. Yemi is the smoke monster, so maybe, maybe not. Christian is also the smoke monster. Maybe a box for the smoke monster lol or would that be a DHARMA character? Both of them are also dead bodies on the island, which would mean including Adam & Eve, Roger, the other Beechcrafters, etc. --Jackdavinci 18:28, 30 April 2007 (PDT)

Rationale for putting Charles and Kelvin here?

From what I gather, this category is sort of a catch-all for all the characters who do not fall neatly into the categories of Main Characters, Others, and Flashback Characters. But if this is the case, then why are Charles Widmore and Kelvin Inman in this category? Penny I can understand--she has appeared (however briefly) in the present time of the show, so she's not just a flashback character--but Charles and Kelvin have appeared exclusively in flashbacks so far. So what's the deal? The only rationale I can imagine is that they're here because of fan theories that we'll one day see them in the present time of the show; but if that's the case, I don't think character pages should be categorized on the basis of unproven fan theories. So I propose moving them both to the Flashback Characters category.--Timmythegreek 16:57, 5 April 2007 (PDT)

I think the on-island flashback characters are OK, hence Kelvin (especially since he was still alive on the day of the crash) but I don't see the rational for Charles Widmore.--Jackdavinci 18:28, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
After the last two episode's I think it's DEFINITELY OK to leave Chalres Widmore here, because we know for sure he's got a present day Island connection (thanks, Ben) --Jeff 09:10, 7 March 2008 (PST)

Naomi?

Shes not a flashback character or an other or a lostie, she should be here. --Presariocompaq 10:46, 30 April 2007 (PDT)

Agree. --Jackdavinci 18:28, 30 April 2007 (PDT)

Yeah, I agree too. I don't understand why nobody has added her yet. If the likes of Henrik and Mathius can be up here for the sake of a brief cameo, Naomi should be up there too. I know some say the rationale of including those two is that they featured in the only off island real time stuff, but Naomi is part of Penny's team, and should definately be put up there

Another agree. Personally I think Mathias and Henrik should be taken out, with Naomi in. Benn 6 May 2007
I agree Naomi should be added. --Jeff 16:51, 8 May 2007 (PDT)
If Henrik gets to be in here then so should Naomi.--Presariocompaq 08:57, 14 May 2007 (PDT)
Actually, not only should Naomi be added to this page, but Rose and Bernard, who were here just a few days ago. They are not main characters, they are guest star characters. --Jeff 18:45, 26 May 2007 (PDT)

Naomi is gone now? Someone should put her back in. And yeah, put Rose and Bernard here, PLEASE. And I know there's a seperate Others portal, but Ben and Juliet really deserve the justice of being in the main characters portal, too. Can't they be in both?--Alexisfan07 11:24, 30 May 2007 (PDT)

Dr. Candle / Wickmund

A supporting character? He has only made about 5 appearences on the show, and it was only for a brief time. He should be removed.

Agree or Disagree? --Apollo Candy 16:22, 25 June 2007 (PDT)

I Say List Them All

I'm new to posting on this site so I don't know all the ins and outs, please forgive my sins. One thing I have noticed about the show is that you never know who is important to the mythology and who isn't. I would personally like to see something on all named characters not included with the main characters whether or not we have actually seen them. It might help us all in figuring out what is going on. If people don't want it here, maybe another new page, just my two cents. --OolonColluphid 10:48, 18 July 2007 (PDT)


I Say List Them All

TV Guide has recently posted information on 4 new characters for Lost: Lost Exclusive: Meet 4 New Characters. This may be helpful for users interested in expanding the character area on this site.

Freighters

I say that you should add Charolette, Miles, Daniel, and Frank to this list since they're series regulars in season 4

Just Frank, he's the only one that's a guest star. The others are credited as principal cast by the producers.

Kelvin Inman, Mathias and Henrik out

Kelvin Inman apeared twice, Mathias and Henrik once for a few seconds. Kelvin may of apeared on an on-island flashback but so has ben's mum and like all of the others.

Rose & Bernard and Frank

Hi, I think that even though Rose, Bernard and Frank are listed on their appropriate affiliation portal pages (Survivors and Freighter) that they should also be listed here as well, since they are played by guest stars. So far, only Arzt and Cindy are listed in the appropriate portals (Survivor and supporting). --Jeff 09:14, 7 March 2008 (PST)

Change of template

Was just wondering why this page does not follow the same template as the other pages like Survivor Camp, DHARMA, Freighter . . . and include the "Status Key" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nowism (talk • contribs) 2008-05-16T15:30:44.

Bernard

Where is Dr. Bernard Nadler?
