Scott Caldwell]] and [[Sam Anderson]] respectively. Rose and Bernard visit a faith healer on their honeymoon in [[Australia]], in the hope of healing Rose's cancer. When Bernard visits the restroom during the return flight, the plane splits in half, with each half crashing on different parts of an island in the [[Oceania|South Pacific]]. The couple reunite midway through [[Lost (season 2)|season two]], and Rose reveals the Island has healed her. After time traveling in [[Lost (season 5)|season five]], they separate from the remaining survivors and build a cabin near the ocean to live in.
The story of a woman separated from her husband when the plane crashes was going to be used for [[Kate Austen|Kate]] but, when Kate's role in the series changed, the producers kept that story for Rose. Much of the couple's story prior to the plane crash was based on the events of Caldwell's life; she married her husband even though he was dying. Due to Caldwell and Anderson having other acting commitments, the writers found it difficult finding time when both actors could appear together in the show, resulting in neither character featuring in most of [[Lost (season 3)|season three]]. Critics reacted positively to the couple, often hoping they would appear more frequently, and both actors were praised for their work.
==Arc== Most of the couple's backstory is told in flashbacks during "[[S.O.S. (Lost)|S.O.S.]]". Rose Henderson, an office manager, meets dentist Bernard Nadler when her car becomes stuck in a snowbank one night.<ref name = "S.O.S.">{{cite episode | title = [[S.O.S.
