Olivia Goodspeed^[1] was the passenger in her husband Horace Goodspeed's car on a road 32 miles outside of Portland when they saw Roger Linus carrying his dying wife Emily and their newborn baby out of the woods. They pulled over to take them to the hospital when Emily suddenly died.

Olivia and Horace were involved with the DHARMA Initiative. Olivia worked on the Island as an elementary school teacher. Both Ben and Annie were in a class that she taught.("The Man Behind the Curtain") When the Hostiles attacked, Olivia reacted as though it was a not uncommon occurrence, and had a plan for how the students were to lock the doors and take cover. Olivia also matter-of-factly picked up a gun, and showed great proficiency with how she carried it.

Trivia

• On the DVD commentary track for "The Man Behind the Curtain" Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse describe Horace and Olivia as factoring significantly in the future "game plan" for Lost.

• How Did Olivia get involved with the Dharma Initiative?
