Juliet's sister Rachel? On the Hanso Foundation website he thanks his daughter Rachel Blake for her efforts.

Has this been discussed already?

I'm pretty sure that it's not the same Rachel. Since Juliet's surname is neither Blake nor Hanso. Also, that wasn't Jamie Silberhartz.

But would they get the same actors used during TLE for episodes of Lost?

I'm sure that they probably would, but .... :undecide:

I agree, if they had wanted her to be the same Rachel, then they would have gotten Jamie Silberhartz. But that aside, Rachel Blake would be too young to be Juliet's sister, wouldn't she?

She was divorced afterall. She could have kept the name.

What is TLE? and who is Jamie Silberhartz?

I have a feeling it's another name rerun, a la Tom and Danny, also, Claire's friend in Raised By Another was named Rachel.

TLE is short for "The Lost Experience", the webgame they did over the summer last year. Jamie Silberhartz is the actress who played Rachel Blake, one of the main characters, in videos and appeared during the Lost panel at ComicCon in San Diego in July.

I don't think we should write this idea off quite yet. I mean, look at how closely Mittelos Bioscience resembled the Hanso Foundation, and the actor playing Alpert looked eerily similar in that smarmy-untrustworthy-badguy way to Mittlewerk (even the name! Mittelos/Mittelwerk). Not to mention that they were willing to kill to get Juliet to work for them...
I still think there might be a slight possibility that the name 'Rachel' is a throwback to the Experience, although it very well could not be. That said, they wouldn't necessarily *have* to get the same actress, especially if she wasn't available at the time. Jamie could be doing theater or something else... who knows? I'm just saying, let's not close that door yet...

Yeah, I agree with you. Even the names Burke and Blake aren't that far removed. And also Mittelwerk is another Tom/Thomas, so it seems like there are a good few names interconnecting between the LE and LOST. Anything is possible.

Mutually agreed. :)
(You have my unedited quote in your post! I had accidentally said that Mittelos looked like Mittelwerk, but then corrected myself to read Alpert looks like Mittelwerk. :) )

Changed. ;) I'm not sure about the looking alike though, Alpert guy was quite different, but I think he may be talking the similar role of Mittelwerk, as they wouldn't use the exact same person...at least that's just my opinion on how they'd go about it.
