Also in those flashbacks, we get to glimpse a young woman that looks remarkably like fellow island castaway, Danielle Rousseau (Mira Furlan), who in turn is looking for her long lost child, Alex.

For actress Tania Raymonde, that connection to the character is a surprising outcome that wasn't part of her initial casting. "In the beginning, the name of the character when they cast me was Jessica and then I guess thiengs envolved from there. In the first episode, there was no name change and they referred to me as a young girl. At the end of Maternity Leave, Danielle mentions something to Claire and Claire says there was a girl that saved her and Danielle reacts like she has found her daugther. At the end of Three minutes they refer tu me as Alex directly and that's when I took on that name. There was no indication as to what going to happen".
Like her fellow Others, Raymonde is unsure of exactly what Alex's real intentions are. While Alex helped Claire escape the medical hatch, that still doesn't explain why. "What was difficult was no knowing exactly what her golas was - not knowing the path of the character or if che knew anything about Claire in the past", the actress offers. "No questions were answered, so you just go with it and trust the script in front of you". I don't know if she is completely innocent, but for the moment she is sympathetic [towards Claire].I'm curious to see what happens with the whole angle."
