Talk:Charlotte Lewis

One or two names?

Are we sure that it is Charlotte Lewis? Because there's a Lewis as well, and that's a man. Maybe it's just two first names?

I'm assuming they are following the same pattern as for Matthew Abbadon. I'm also unsure if that Lewis would warrent a clue. I may have acted too quickly in creating the article though. Dharmatel4

I agree, it may be jumping the gun here, as it is only a clue; we don't know what the clue could mean, exactly. I'm not sure what the rules/guidelines are for creating new character articles; i.e. do they have to be announced officially? I'm guessing the Matthew Abbadon article was created from a combination of spoiler info and the clues having "confirmed" that spoiler info. Incidentally, with regard to the clues that were given, "Matthew" and "Abbadon" were separate clues from ABC.com and Yahoo!7, whereas "Charlotte Lewis" was a single clue from Yahoo!7. So I do think that yes, probably it will be a character, but that perhaps we should wait until there is more information to confirm that. -- Graft   talk   contributions  12:55, 17 January 2008 (PST)

The press release for 4x02 confirms the Charlotte character, but not the last name. The article could be renamed to something else but I'm not sure what. Charlotte alone clashes with another charlotte and the most obvious other word to use would be a spoiler. Dharmatel4 17:28, 18 January 2008 (PST)

There are two characters in upcoming episodes: Charlotte and Lewis. I'm 98% sure Lewis is not Charlotte's last name.

"Her name is Charlotte Lewis... Charlotte Staples-Lewis, born July 2, 1979, Essex, England." - Direct from Ben's mouth  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  10:02, 8 February 2008 (PST)

Possibly significant: Charlotte Staples-Lewis = C.S. Lewis? --Redheadguy719 14:15, 9 February 2008 (PST)

Picture

Is there a better picture we can get? Beause the one we have looks terrible! --James W. 21:26, 7 February 2008 (PST)

Gah...couldn't agree more. Hopefully as the season progresses something better will become available. I'll keep an eye out - what are the criteria for character pictures anyway? --Chester Kilburn 09:17, 14 February 2008 (PST)

I believe it has to be a promo still or a episodic photo from the show. I'm crossing my fingers that our three new freighter regulars get official promo pictures taken and released... like really bad. --Alexisfan07 19 February 2008

The Susan B Anthony Dollar?

What the hec does this have to do with anything? Do we have to include every random piece of information as trivia? Unless someone can point out how this is relevant and/or interesting.

Questions

Why does Ben knows about the life of Charlotte?

Wasn't that answered in 4x02? Ben might have lied about his source, but that doesn't legitimate the question, does it? --MacCutcheon 11:03, 8 February 2008 (PST)

Is there any relationship between Charlotte Lewis and Charlotte Malkin?

Definitely.(Myscrnnm 16:36, 3 March 2008 (PST))

Essex

Heh. Charlotte is from Essex, England and Daniel is from Essex, Massachusetts? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Meteor (talk • contribs) 2008-02-10T15:19:00.

Well, both are kind of university towns as far as i know, and both are scientists, as far as we know, so it doesn't seem that kind of a big coincidence, or at least is believable. Maybe. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PTusa (talk • contribs) 2008-02-13T10:02:16.

"Essex, England" is not a town, it's a county in England, UK. We know that Charlotte is from Essex, England, but we don't know from what town in Essex, England. Also, there is a university called University of Essex, located in a town called Colchester, in Essex, England, UK, but you can't really say that Colchester is a main University town. The University of Essex isn't precisely old, as it was founded in the 60's. So, there are a lot of mistakes in the previous statements. Essex, England is not a town, and there is no major university town in Essex, England. So the fact that Charlotte is from Essex, England, and that Daniel has been in Essex, Massachusetts, is only a coincidence, and nothing more can be read into that. Also, I would like to say that we do not really know that Daniel is from Essex, Massachusetts, as Meteor affirms above, do we? I mean, all we know is that he has been there, but we also know that he has been in Oxford, so he could be from either place, or from some other entirely different place. --Salvora 08:12, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

People from Essex are not generally known for their academic acumen. What's the US equivalent of an Essex girl joke?--TechNic|talk|conts 08:29, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

Was Kristen Bell supposed to play Charlotte?

Remember when the producers tried to get Kristen Bell to play a new character this season? But since she didn't want to move to Hawaii she took a role on Heroes instead? Does anyone know what role she was supposed to play? Was it Charlotte? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Voodoo (talk • contribs) 2008-02-12T00:44:17.

There were rumors to that effect in August. But it was never confirmed as far as I know that she was even approached. She signed on with heroes right after the rumors started and its possible to read in all sorts of things that might have been happening resulting in the rumors. Dharmatel4 22:16, 11 February 2008 (PST)

According to this article [1] she had been talked to about it, but was never actually offered the role. I've fixed the article in relation to this. ObsidianOps 20:49, 20 February 2008 (PST)

Not a Ph.D.

One of the many quirks about Oxford is that the research doctorate degree is called a D.Phil., not a Ph.D.--ukexpat 10:52, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

But that's just another abbreviation for the same thing, right? Is the long form of the title any different? --     c      blacxthornE      t     12:30, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Blackthorne: it's the same thing, it's only a different title. At any rate, this is something that most people wouldn't know, and we heard that she had a PhD from Ben, who is American, so it makes sense that he said she got a PhD. And it may be not accurate usage, but it amounts to the same thing.--Salvora 15:57, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

D. Phil. = "Doctor of Philosophy", while Ph.D. = "Philosophy Doctor."--Salvora 17:19, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Actually, "Ph.D." is an abbreviation of the Latin for "Doctor of Philosophy". They're the same thing. Robert K S (talk) 18:38, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Yes, they are essentially they same thing, but it is wrong to call a doctorate from Oxford a PhD because it isn't. Oxford award D.Phils, not PhDs. I have friends with D.Phils who will get very shirty if it's referred to as a PhD as they feel (probably somewhat arrogantly) that it undermines that their doctorate is from one the top universities of the world. It is certainly a blooper - Not one of any consequence, but a blooper nonetheless. It probably merits a mention in the trivia section. Oh, and even if it was a PhD, in the UK it wouldn't be spelt with the dot (PhD, not Ph.D).--TechNic|talk|conts 20:03, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Correct, Philosophiae Doctor--ukexpat 21:18, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

So it is exactly the same thing, no matter what the language is. I mean the abbreviation for doctor is "Dr.", but if it were, say, "Doc." in a specific region, and if someone said that one of the characters of the show is Doc. Shephard, it wouldn't be wrong. At all. I don't really care if the title's from Oxford or not, if the term I use exactly fits the title, I will use that. It does merit a mention in the trivia section, but I don't see it as a blooper.--     c      blacxthornE      t     21:38, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

Well no, it isn't exactly the same thing. I don't know how I explain it without repeating myself. Just as you can't buy a Whopper from MacDonald's or a Big Mac from Burger King, you can't get a PhD from Oxford - despite both being pretty much the same thing. It's a cultural blooper that jars slightly for people from the referenced culture. It would be like if we saw Jack writing a note about the "colour of the neighbouring theatre". It would make sense, but just wouldn't ring true.--TechNic|talk|conts 22:21, 6 May 2008 (PDT)

I don't know exactly how you define what a blooper is. I understand the point that Charlotte is not a Ph.D. but a D.Phil. That's fine with me. The point is: it was Ben, who said so. So, if it's anybody's blooper, that is Ben's blooper. Truly: the reality is that most people in this world won't know there is a difference between the two things, and Ben being American, it makes sense he said Ph.D., or at least, it makes sense that he didn't know there is a difference. So I don't think it's clearly a blooper. Or at least, not a blooper made by the creators, but a common mistake that could be made by anyone.--Salvora 07:16, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

It's really insignifiacant. I just wanted to point out it is a minor error. We should continue to refer to it as a PhD in the article, but include a triva note along the lines of "Because Charlotte studied for her doctorate at Oxford, it would be a D.Phil rather than a PhD as stated by Ben in "Confirmed Dead""--TechNic|talk|conts 07:55, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

I agree to that. --Salvora 08:14, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

Jolly good. Done. :-) --TechNic|talk|conts 08:22, 7 May 2008 (PDT)

Pictures link

Can someone put up a link to all the pictures containing Charlotte? I would do it but i don't really know how... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 01lander (talk • contribs) .--User:01lander/sig 06:21, 15 May 2008 (PDT)

• There is a category for that.--     c      blacxthornE      t     06:21, 16 May 2008 (PDT)

That's because i had to make a link you idiot. --User:01lander/sig 06:21, 24 May 2008 (PDT)

Okay. That unfriendly tone is not tolerated by Lostpedia, 01lander. Do not call people names on here again. See Lostpedia:No personal attacks. -- Sam McPherson  T  C  E  08:58, 24 May 2008 (PDT)

Hahahahahahahahahahaha --User:01lander/sig

• In addition to avoiding personal attacks, please try not to replace people's signatures with the unsigned template either, as you did here; editing comments of others, including their signatures, is against policy. And if you want to give a link to a category, all you have to do is put a ":" (without the quotation marks) before the word Category when you link it, like this: [[:Category:Images of Charlotte Lewis]]. It's ironic that you call me an idiot for helping you, and showing you how you can "make a link" above, by giving you a link to it.--     c      blacxthornE      t     11:35, 27 May 2008 (PDT)

I don't see any irony, seeing as I made a link on the page myself... User:01lander/sig

• Congratulations! That makes up for calling me an "idiot" for helping you then... I'm sorry.--     c      blacxthornE      t     01:07, 8 June 2008 (PDT)

Accent?

The article states that Rebecca doesn't have an English accent; however, this contradicts the actress' article, which indicates that the producers made Charlotte British specifically because of her accent. Also, this interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsV0e0HgZwA suggests she DOES have an accent. Would anyone mind if I just removed that point from this article? Zegota 12:52, 30 May 2008 (PDT)

Season 5 Status

Charlotte is apparently not going to be a main character in Season 5. This is contradicted with her appearance in the promotional material however... Does anyone have any information in regards to this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 01lander (talk • contribs) .

• Information about this is available, however, cast details are against the spoiler policy, so they will not be published until the start of Season 5.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Blue eagle islander (talk • contribs) .
• Note that the ABC medianet press release for "Jughead" states Rebecca Mader as a guest star, not as one of the main cast.

New Photo

Should her main photo be changed to this one? http://www.imagebam.com/image/a6dd2b20019733

• No. That image was confirmed to be a fan-made set taken from the main poster and so, in essence, is fan art. I do think we should change her picture to one with a grey background so to match everyone else (it's just one of those things I' picky about) (Jamie-0408 15:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC))
