Reported Problem for Season 2
posted by dokuroSTAFFMOD on July 1, 2021 at 4:24 AM
Item: Season 2
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Season 2 of lost sees Michael Emerson join the cast for various episodes. However, he has been added as guest with the name of Benjamin Linus. This is actually incorrect as during season 2 he is known as Henry Gale with his true identity as Benjamin Linus not reviled until the season finale and start of season 3.
I would like to change the character name from Benjamin Linus to Henry Gale for all the guest lists in season 2 for Michael Emerson. IMO, its somewhat of a spoiler as its listed now. Any objections ?

Nope, that sounds reasonable to me.

Editing the guest for the episode S02E14 and changing Michael Emerson character to Henry Gale caused it to change for all episodes and all seasons. This we would not want. I guess this is a limitation on the site as the name is not scoped per episode but looks like across the show.
So I changed the name to Benjamin Linus / Henry Gale. If this is acceptable then please close this thread, if not let me know and I'll revert it back to just Benjamin Linus.

To stop it from changing the role name across all episodes / across the whole show, you just have to re-add the guest star with the different role name :) This will give them a new credit_id and that's at least how I do it.
See S02E14 as an example: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4607-lost/season/2/episode/14/changes
I fixed it for now and re-added Michael Emerson as Henry Gale in all the episodes of S2, I hope that was correct!
