When Boone is twenty years old, he becomes the chief operating officer of his mother's business in New York City.

When Boone learns of Shannon’s financial difficulties after her father’s death he offers to give her money, but she does not accept.Sarnoff, Elizabeth (writer) & Davidson, Adam (director), "Abandoned." "Lost", ABC. Episode 6, season 2. Aired on November 9, 2005.] Boone "rescues" Shannon several times from abusive relationships by paying the boyfriends to leave her. One such rescue attempt leads Boone to Sydney, Australia in September 2004, where he learns that the relationships are actually scams concocted by Shannon to get his money and attention. Boone is deeply hurt by the deception. Boone and Shannon have sex after her Australian boyfriend runs away with her money. The next day, they board Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 to return to the United States. [Lindelof, Damon (writer) & Cuse, Carlton (writer) & Bender, Jack (director), "Exodus." "Lost", ABC.

Almost four weeks later, Locke experiences a self-induced hallucination, where a longer-haired Boone appears and pushes Locke around in a wheelchair in an imaginary Sydney International Airport, where the other survivors are present but acting in different roles. Boone tells Locke that someone in the airport was in serious danger. Close to the end of the hallucination, Locke finds Eko's stick covered in blood and Boone appears bloody and injured.

While trying to take on a leadership role, Boone steals the camp's water; however, his plan backfires and the survivors turn on him.

Development

Unlike many other characters of the first season, who were rewritten based on their actors, Boone was largely the same through production."Before They Were Lost." ', Buena Vista Home Entertainment. September 6, 2005. Featurette, disc 7.] He was originally going to be named Boone Anthony Markham V, going by the nickname, "Five." In the script for the pilot, the writers ran a search and replace to change Boone's name so that when Jack counted to five, the script read, "One, two, three, four, Boone." [Abrams, J.J., Lindelof, Damon & Burk, Bryan, "Pilot." ', Buena Vista Home Entertainment. Audio commentary, disc 1. Released on September 6, 2005.]

Somerhalder did not want to shoot a pilot; however, he jumped at the opportunity once he found out he would be working with co-creator/ executive producer J.J. Abrams. Somerhalder was paid between $20,000 and $40,000 an episode, [Andreeva, Nellie, (January 23, 2006) " [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001882918 Touchstone Offers "Lost" Cast a Raise] ," "Hollywood Reporter".

Boone has appeared in a total of twenty-five episodes, and his voice has been heard in a twenty-sixth episode. Boone has physically appeared in three episodes since the first season with the credit of "special guest star." He returned for the flashbacks of Shannon, Nikki Fernandez and Paulo and Locke's hallucination. [Kitsis, Edward (writer) & Horowitz, Adam (writer) & Williams, Stephen (director), "Exposé." "Lost", ABC. Episode 14, season 3. Aired on March 28, 2007.] In Nikki's third season flashback, the producers did not ask Somerhalder to cut his hair for two days of work and had him wear a wig, making his hair noticeably longer than it should have been.

While "Carlyle" appears on Boone's checkbook and grave, "Carlisle" appears on the subtitles for "Hearts and Minds." [Dick, Leonard (writer) & Grossman, David (director), “The Greater Good."

In the original outline of the eleventh episode, Locke was to be accompanied by two guest characters to search for Claire and discover the Hatch.

Retrieved on October 17, 2007.] In the final product, Boone accompanied Locke, a choice that would lead to Boone's death. While the executive producers have stated that Somerhalder took the news of his character's death professionally, Somerhalder has said that he found it "pretty devastating."
