Unnamed extras recognized by fans
Over 50 extras have rotated to portray the background (non-speaking) survivors of Flight 815. Some survivors have been given nicknames by fans, some of which have also been associated with specific names from the dialog in the script of episodes. This is merely an artifact from vagaries of the irregular hiring of such non-salaried extras: The number of individuals in the pool of every extra who has ever appeared on the beach dating back to Season 1 exceeds the "official" number of survivors. Therefore it is likely that in future episodes, some extras will suddenly appear, while others temporarily or permanently disappear. Extras that have been incidentally given or associated with a name in script dialog appear in the main table, above. See the main article for a full list of extras, and any given or fan names.
Deuterocanonical survivors
Some characters have only appeared in the deuterocanonical sources of the ABC Diary and the website Oceanic-air.com. Although these sources are official, they are not created or ordered by the creators of the show, and thus the actual status of the characters only appearing here remains unclear.
