Nikki Fernandez and Paulo (/ˈpaʊloʊ/POW-loh) are fictional characters 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] American actress Kiele Sanchez and Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro play two survivors of the crash of Oceanic Flight 815.[2]
The couple is introduced early in the third season.[3] The producers of the show were often asked what the rest of the plane-crash survivors were doing because the show only focuses on approximately fifteen of the survivors, and the characters of Nikki and Paulo were created in response.[4] Reaction to the characters was generally negative,[5] with showrunner Damon Lindelof acknowledging the couple were "universally despised" by fans.[6] As a result of this, the couple was killed off later in the same season when they are accidentally buried alive.
