i really really hope you are right. I think originally they didn't plan on having Claire on as long as they do now, I think that they realized how popular she is and how upset people would get if she were to be killed off

You know, now that you've said that, I agree. Personally, I don't think they planned on having her come back after "Raised by Another". But they were getting alot of bad press from the media that they'd forgotten about the sweet little pregnant Aussie girl, and they had to bring her back.

So yeah, good point!

I think they had to keep her. As much as I hate the ship, the PB&Jers are a huge part of the show, and she's basically the only other available girl on the show besides Kate. If they got rid of her like they did Shanon, they'd be screwed and have to hire someone else again

Ah, but PB&J wasn't as huge a part of the show back then. If she'd have never come back? I doubt they'd have cried THAT MUCH over their lost ship. (no pun intended) And I doubt they'd have hired someone else - they have little regard for women other then sexing them up and killing them as they've made clear.

But meh, whatever, she came back and that's all that matters.

I don't know about that, I was a huge PB&Jer then, I shudder to think it, lol. but I would have freaked if she didn't come back, she was my fav then too, lol.

Also, Claire was added on at the last minitue, she wasn't even going to be a regular cast member, remember. They added her on after the first episodes as a regular cause of her popularity

She was added last minute, but I don't think she was added cos she was a fan-favourite, she was added because they needed an Aussie on the cast. Cos seriously, it's completely unbelieveable that she's the only Aussie as it is. It was a plane from Sydney for christsake! They couldn't have said all the damn Aussies died in the plane, lol.
