John K.’s Theory: Faraday and Penny are Twins
If this theory sounds a little crazy at first, allow me to provide evidence. These are the facts:
-Based on Erik the Hostile’s warning to Alpert this week, Ellie and Charles Widmore are still on the Island in 1977
-In 1954, Faraday thought he recognized Ellie, which is a name that could be short for Eloise, his mother
-Daniel was a professor in 1996, meaning he was most likely born before 1977
-Penny first started dating Desmond in 1994, which means she was most likely born before 1977
-There has never been any mention of Faraday’s dad or Penny’s mom
-Charles had Eloise Hawking’s address nearby when Desmond asked for it
-Penny is Desmond’s Constant and Desmond is Faraday’s Constant, so both Faraday and Penny are connected to Desmond
Putting those facts together, believing that Faraday and Penny are both the children of Charles Widmore and Eloise Hawking is not a huge stretch. What do you think? For the full analysis of this theory, check out THIS ARTICLE.
Maybe I’m just being dumb, but I’m not understanding why exactly they have to be twins? I can see siblings…but why twins?

Well the article said twins OR siblings. Its an interesting angle. One question I have been kicking around is what caused the falling out between Eloise and her son- her reaction when Des showed up with a message from her son, saying he needed her help was decidedly UNINTERESTED. Daniel took funding from Widmore..&…Eloise is helping Benjamin- clearly taking Ben’s side in the coming “war”. What caused this falling out I have to wonder….if there were two children, or if he had children with two different women and Eloise was heartbroken over this, it could have caused the rift. Perhaps they are half siblings, Daniel and Penelope.

I like this theory. Young Elle looks an awful lot like Penny. This is the twist the fans need!!!!!!!!! Ben doesn’t have to kill Penny to avenge Alex’s death, he can kill Farraday, another one of Widmore’s children!!!!! Desmond and Penny can remain happy together and Farraday becomes a martyr.

I am starting to feel a bit like Hurley in last week’s scene with Miles. Juliet has to get OFF the island so she can be recruited by Richard 30 years from then- why wouldn’t she just say “hell no!!!”????? I don’t get it but I love it!

@Shane
No, she doesn’t have to get off the island, because as time progresses past the 70’s she will be born. Keep in mind it’s all a cycle. She will be born, grow up, get recruited go to the island, go back to the 70’s and time will loop over and over like that.

Yes, I have thought about this….and gone back and listened to Miles again thanks to DVR. It is enough to make you crazy of course but I think I am getting better…..LOL

I’ll just point out I would have loved to crash land in the 50s and have some jungle love with that young Ellie!

Just looked on IMDB.com via “Jughead”- Ellie is aka “Young Eloise Hawkings”

@Dale
Although at this point it’s pretty much confirmed, don’t take everything from IMDB for fact. They are fan editable just liek Wikipedia. But yeah, she is def. Eloise Hawking.
