There is nothing to suggest she is his wife. She could be his , sister, cousin, roommate, anything. All the evidence for wife is her ring. She could be an old college friend that was in town visiting and offered to make breakfast. Until we get confirmation, this article shouldn't assume identity. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 00:06, 14 February 2008 (PST)
- Totally agree, if anyone has a reason why it should not be edited, please state why. --Jamielost 16:09, 14 February 2008 (PST)
- We could always go with the very general and all-purpose "Woman (Confirmed Dead)". -- Graft talk contributions 16:32, 14 February 2008 (PST)
- Okay then, what's the general consensus? "Daniel's Caretaker" or just "Caretaker". --Jamielost 17:08, 14 February 2008 (PST)
Caretaker[]
ABC just confirmed on TV that this is his caretaker Comedy240 17:04, 14 February 2008 (PST)
- The enhanced version have NOT been proven canonical. Moreover, Damon and Carlton have nothing to do with them (especially since the 402 enhanced was done before the strike ended). Nothing proves that it is indeed canonical. - TheAma1 08:20, 16 February 2008 (PST)
- ABC has aired them. How does that make them less canonical, for our purposes, than whatever else ABC airs? I say they're innocent until proven guilty--canon until said not to be. (In any event, Lindelhof could easily have been the one to write them before the strike began, or in his capacity as showrunner shortly after the strike began but before he left work as a producer to support the strike.)

- I agree completely with Robert K S, i just wanted to point out that Carlton is show runner not Damon. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 15:44, 18 February 2008 (PST)
- Yes, I screwed that up, realized it as soon as I hit "submit", but was too lazy to correct! Should have known I'd get called on it. Robert K S 16:25, 18 February 2008 (PST)
- Actually, they're co-showrunners. -- Graft talk contributions 19:00, 18 February 2008 (PST)

Rename[]
The canonicity of the source is still under question. I realise the name I've marked is a poor one, so suggestions are welcome, but this needs looking at. Redirects from this current article name, make sure the reference is on the article, but not considering canon. Plkrtn talk contribs email 16:02, 28 May 2008 (PDT)
- Even if we don't make the assumption that Enhanced remarks carry the weight of canonicity, "caretaker" may be the most descriptive name we can give this person. She takes care of Daniel, offering to make him breakfast and asking him why he is upset. "Daniel's breakfast-maker and emotional comforter" is a little too much. Robert K S (talk) 19:49, 28 May 2008 (PDT)
- Though I do not accept Enhanced as canon, I agree that irregardless, its a good name. I say don't rename. --Nickb123 (Talk) 16:30, 19 June 2008 (PDT)
- Don't rename. I think we are going to learn much more about Daniel next season, to include the real name of the caretaken. If we learn her identity, we'll have to do it all over again.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 09:54, 22 June 2008 (PDT)
Name and Picture[]
She was named "Caroline" in dialog and her face was shown in the episode, The Variable.--Mistertrouble189 02:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yep. Robert K S tell me 04:17, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'd bet money it was a different actress playing Caroline in her two appearances (and a third, different actress providing her voice). The two body types are not at all similar. Originally, she was played by a younger, slimmer, taller woman. Robert K S tell me 05:33, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Change term to caregiver?[]
In the U.S. it has become customary to use the term caregiver for someone who cares for a person. Caretaker implies someone who takes care of a property. Can we give Daniel a little dignity here? --Six Strings 00:41, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
