As a result of Keaton turning down the role of Jack, multiple characters were affected. The original script called for Jack to meet a quick demise. In need of a leader, Kate Austen was intended to lead the survivors on the island. Instead, Jack lived and became the unquestioned (at least for a while) leader. Kate’s character was ultimately transformed into an outlaw.
