That was certainly the implication. Of course, it could be a
misdirect. We don't know who else was living in that house. We also
can't be sure that was Claire. The flashback appeared to take place
within a few days or at least weeks of flight 815...yet she didn't look
at all pregnant.

We can absolutely be sure it wasn't Claire. The woman was the mother of
Christian's daughter, not the daughter herself. Why would Christian be
screaming to his daughter about her allowing him to see his daughter?

Because she was the mother of his child which is also a possibility
although an even less likely one; Claire would have had to have had a
child earlier which seems unlikely to me...Aaron is male and apparently
the child of another guy.

The woman Jack's father fought with looked exactly like Claire...I.E.
Claire's age. I figured she could be Claire's sister, but not her
mother. If she was supposed to be Claire's mother then the make-up and
costuming depts. should be fired.

So this woman looks Claire's age to you?

Gabrielle Fitzpatrick has held up pretty well, but I'd never mistake her for
being Claire's age.

(Although as I've said elsewhere, I'm not sold on her being Claire's mother
either. But I do think the writers want us to think that for now).

I thought she WAS Claire. I didn't even realize it was a different
actor. That she is another actor does change things, but this woman
looks in no way old enough to be Claire's mother unless she had Claire
when she was about 12....and even that's pushing it.

Then why not cast an older woman? Or Claire in make-up and older
looking clothing? Knowing it's another actor actually confuses me even
more.

I have no idea, but lookswise, she can definitely be Claire's mom. How
old is this actress? I tried looking around, but can't find anything.

So if it were Emilie in make-up, don't you think that would fuel the
Aging/Reverse/Genetics/Clones theories even more? :)

Plus, if they're ever going to have flashbacks with Claire's mom, it
would take more effort to have Emilie playing both roles. It doesn't
make any sense to have her do so, from a production standpoint. Unless
Claire is a clone of her mother or something...?

I just hope this whole thing is resolved ON THE SHOW, not used to hype
up the damn books and internet experience... Though I'm afraid I'm wrong.

Of course that wasnt Clair, that was her mother at the door.

crossed my mind. I guess it was implied that the woman was the
mother, and the "little girl" was sleeping or something, but they
could have been roomiest or something.

the thought seems to be to show the viewers stuff that the characters
don't know to build the suspense. probably a good call to ask that.

Seems more likely that Jack and Claire are half siblings. The woman
that his dad went to see is the spitting image of Claire, albeit an
older version.

Possible, but I would vote for someone named Sarah, who won't
be introduced till next season. :)

I hope not. That flashback had to have happened pretty close to the
crash, say 1 or 2 weeks, but in "Raised by Another" it seemed like
Claire was living alone at that point. In fact, I seem to remember
dialog to the effect of Claire being estranged from her parents in
"Raised by Another", but I'd have to check on that.

In any case, there are a lot of women in Sydney so there are many other
people it could be. And nobody on the island knows the identity of the
woman Christian was arguing with, so I don't see any way this could be
further developed in any case.

No. After reviewing the scene a second time where Christian visits that
woman's house in the rain and listening to the dialogue it appears the
daughter he wants to see is in the house. If his daughter was not in
the house then the woman would have told him his daughter was not living
there.

There are not enough facts to draw a conclusion that Claire is
Christian's daughter. Quite the contrary, scenes from episodes from the
first season would indicate that Claire is not Christian's daughter and
is not related to Jack.

There are millions of women in Australia. Let's hope the writers aren't
that stuck for ideas.

True but the coincidences seem to be adding up. Anna is taking Jack's Father
around town who then argues with a woman in her mid to late 30's about
seeing his daughter. I'd say Claire is around 19 or 20 at the most, I don't
remember if she gave her age out and her Mother could of had her at 18
making her 36 - 40 years old now. This might also explain the rift between
her and her mother when she got pregnant so young. Her Mother didn't want
her to make the same mistake.
