Thanks for replying, but I didn't explain myself too well!!
What I am wondering is if there's a big cover up which they have to lie about, then why didn't they go back to somewhere without the celebrity status. I'm sure they're famous because they, or the powers that be told the media that they were survivors.
If they have to cover everything up then I would think it would be better to return with a new identity and start a new life and have nothing to do with Oceanic or the island. There is a slim chance they might be recognised by someone they knew but I would imagine it would be very slim. There are many times I've seen someone and thought they look like someone, so if I presumed they were dead I would think that this was just another "don't they look like" scenarios.
So my question is why did they tell people they were the survivors when they could have gone back to reality as someone new.
I hope I've explained it a bit better this time!!
