Identification Edit

For the group of women seen at the raft-launching, which woman is often seen with Steve (or is it Scott?)? Just curious.--Mistertrouble189 20:31, 8 October 2008 (PDT)

Identification relevant? Edit

The article currently implies that Tracy must be one of the female background extras that were seen at the raft launching. An unanswered question asks which of the pictured women is Tracy. I don't think an unseen character can or should be narrowed down to a group of specific background extras like this. We've seen many cases where the writers imply that certain characters (Arzt, Nikki, Paulo, Frogurt, Rose, Bernard) are present at the camp, even when they are not seen. The characters of Arzt, Nikki, Paulo, and Frogurt were invented by the writers well into the series, and actors who had previously not been there were cast to portray them, but the storyline implied that the characters had been there all along. And Rose and Bernard are implied to have continued living at the camp through Season 4, but were simply not seen much of the time because the actors were not around. By this logic, we cannot assume that Tracy was ever portrayed by an extra who was seen on the show. I think the article should reflect this. --Celebok 08:59, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, we should remove that. Lost had characters, and it had extras - more extras than survivors. These extras were not characters. --- Balk Of Fame ♪ talk 09:03, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Well... I didn't exactly mean remove it... perhaps just add a note that the writers likely didn't intend for the character to be represented by a specific actor. But I won't fight the removal of those sections. --Celebok 18:52, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
