Lost: The interracial couple why not their backstory?

The one who plays the husband is a very good actor yet he hardly ever
appears. I enjoyed watching him as a really evil lawyer on Angel. He had
in fact been in my favorite moment on Angel when he took Angel to Hell.

You're a few days too early. The next episode (S.O.S.) is a Rose/Bernard
centric story.

But why is he so underutilzed on the show. I thought when I first saw
him that it was a good seeing him again.

Yet his characer nor the one who plays the wife has done much. Ok she
was shown as a motherly figure who missed her husband and helped Hurley.

I want to see more of him. Maybe have his character be the mediator in
the group. Something. Also what is their backstory. Why was he and his
wife on the plane? What did he do for a living?
Please not as a lawyer again.

Anyone else curious about their backstory? Just them being an
interracial couple has potential for an interesting backstory.

Dude, count your blessings that TPTB haven't gotten around to ruining them
yet.

Their backstory will air on Wednesday night.

weberm...

I hear Rose and Locke share something in common. This should be interesting.

Seems so far as a good actor being wasted as a bit player.

Ken from Chicago...

They are SUPPORTING characters. They've gotten more screen time than that
professor who blew up.

Ten Cuidado...

His purpose is finished. The writers created him solely to give his wife
something to have faith in.

cloud dreamer...

You speaketh too soon, Mr. Zero. The Rose/Bernard backstory is next
week. His purpose is hardly finished.
