Libby is a fictional character on the ABC drama television series Lost, which chronicles the lives of over forty people after their plane crashes on a remote island somewhere in the South Pacific.[1] She is played by American actress Cynthia Watros. The character is introduced as a member of the tail section survivors in the second season episode "Everybody Hates Hugo", together with Bernard, and she ends her role as a living character in the episode "?".
After one posthumous flashback appearance in the Season 2 finale “Live Together, Die Alone”, she makes three further non-standard appearances as an apparition and bardo-like entity. Her backstory remains unresolved. Watros was intended to appear in two further episodes in the fourth season designed to resolve her character's backstory (after cameoing as a ghost). Due to the 2007-08 Writers Guild Strike, those appearances were postponed to the sixth and final season, albeit in a different format.
Reception towards the character is generally positive, especially after her death, although controversy exists as Watros was charged with and pled guilty to driving under the influence while filming the show.[2] Her given name, Elizabeth, was revealed in the season 2 episode “Live Together, Die Alone”. A 2009 San Diego Comic-Con panel video listed her surname as "Smith", though this is never mentioned on-screen.
She is one of three main characters to never receive a flashback centric episode dedicated to the character (the others being Ilana Verdansky and Charlotte Lewis). Though the character has a brief flashback at the end of the episode "Dave" shown from her point of view.
