[edit] Actress

I believe it may be important to add the name of actress portraying said character to the article.

[edit] Name

We mention that "Juliet" may not be her real name because Adam calls her "Julie". I don't know but, isn't the latter a shortened version and/or nickname of the former? And also (seriously now), how do we come to the conclusion that Amelia is Juliet's mother? Is it from the way they interact or was it officially mentioned somewhere?- JustPhil 01:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Julie is a nickname for Juliet, but not sure if its use is important. Not clear from the show that Amelia (presumably the older woman) is Juliet's mother but it is mentioned elsewhere on spolier blogs. Strange that Juliet is such a bad ass but cannot bake muffins. user:O815

Why does it say her favourite book is carrie? that is not confirmed as the book.

The book cover is that of Carrie.- JustPhil 00:52, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Juliet shouldn't have her own article--she should be in the "Others" page.

Juliet is a main character played by an actress who is billed as such. All main characters of Lost are entitled to their own page.- JustPhil 00:22, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that something about her should be on the Others page as well as her main page. Right now there is just her name and a link to the main article, but Ben has a blurb in addition to the link to main article. She should have something of a blurb and a pic, like there is for ben, or he shouldn't have one (we should be consistent, whichever way). Riverbend 20:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

After the 16-week break, it has been said that episode 7 will be a Juliet-centric episode, entitled "Not In Portland". I was going to add, but noticing what they did with the first few episodes, I didn't.

Who said she's a fertility doctor *for the others?* She's a Fertility doctor - that's all. I can't imagine 10 people needing a fertility doctor. Computer Guru 07:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

  • -Maybe we'll find out after the long break where she was working as a fertility doctor...
  • Most likely, she is trained as a fertility doctor and is just the best medical help they have, but I don't think that we can necessarily say that she is not a fertility doctor for the others. I think that there is certainly a possibility that the Others need a fertility doctor - they do not seem to have any of their own kids, they kidnap the kids of other castaways - not that that should go in the article, since we don't know at all, it is just a thought - I think it is right to just include that she is a fertility doctor in general, or that she has been trained as a fertility doctor but appears to provide general medical assistance to the Others. . .

OK, so I've heard that the first episode after the hiatus is definitely called "Not In Portland" and that it's a Juliet-centric episode. I can give you information regarding this if need be, but all I'm looking for now is some confirmation or permission of some kind to add it to the character stats list

Can you a cite a reliable source?--Opark 77 20:28, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
i found some info on it here [1]
Well that site has been known to give some wrong information. I don't think we should write that in as of yet. Chuayw2000 08:24, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I told you that the next episode was Not In Portland ^_^

[edit] Burke

It seems pretty clear that Juliet Burke follows the pattern of giving the last names of philosophers (Desmond Hume, Danielle Rousseau, John Locke...), in this case being named after Edmund Burke. Her ex-husband is even named "Edmund Burke". It seems pretty intuitive to me, but does anyone have a source verifying this so we could put it in the article without dispute?

There was a New York Times article that mentions Edmund Burke, not Juliet though. -- Wikipedical 00:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
In "Not in Portland", it is revealed at the end that Ben told her that if she let him live, then she could go home. Doesn't this mean that shes being held there against her will? Should we put something in about that?

[edit] Juliet's education

I'd like to know where that whole first paragraph about her education is coming from.

I, too, would like to know where that came from. It wasn't stated anywhere in the episode. Einbierbitte 19:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)


Juliet, despite her delicate, feminine appearance, is obviously well schooled in martial arts. In "Left Behind," she enters the room where Kate is handcuffed (These are actually leg shackles on her wrists. Handcuffs have only a short chain.) and waiting in ambush with a pool cue. She ducks Kate's swing and flips her to the floor. This in no mean feat, as Kate is quite a scrapper. RangerJ 20:03, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing image

What happened to the publicity image of Juliet that was in the infobox? NorthernThunder 19:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

HMS Matthew is deploying at flank speed. Apparently deleted as "replaceable", certainly isn't. Matthew 19:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

  • Juliet's sister Rachel, named her son Julian, a masculine form of the name Juliet.

That's a bit pointless, so i removed it.

And a bit incorrect. Julian is a feminine name as well so Juliet is not a feminine form of Julian. 08:51, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Name Reference

The articles for Danielle Rousseau and John Locke mention where the creators got the names for these characters from (without citation). Shouldn't this article have a similar mention that Juliet was named after the character from Romeo and Juliet? Going to place it there along with the citation. --4.249.84.97 06:15, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Literary Reference?

  • The actress who plays Juliet, Elizabeth Mitchell, was in a movie called Frequency in 2000 where she played a nurse who was being stalked by a killer named "Jack Shepard".

I'm thinking this needs something done, for a couple reasons: a) A movie which Elizabeth Mitchell acted in doesn't qualify as a literary reference by any means. b) Furthermore, its not even really a reference, just an interesting coincidence. So I've gone ahead an removed it. ObsidianOps

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Flirt.jpg

Image:Flirt.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
