She returned at the beginning of the second season, when it was revealed that her character, given the name Cindy Chandler, had survived the plane crash in the pilot episode along with other passengers from the tail section of the plane. Despite being asked not to change her appearance too much after the pilot, Joseph had her hair cut, so in her first few episodes of the second season she had to “go through the whole debacle of putting a Rambo scarf around head, which just looked ridiculous.” Her episodes for season two were filmed over five weeks and were broadcast in 2005. Her character was abducted in the middle of an episode and was not seen again until in the third season, when Joseph reprised the role for two episodes and the whereabouts of her character are revealed. Joseph resumed the role for the sixth and final season in 2010.
Joseph also filmed minor roles in two Ron Howard films; in Frost/Nixon (2008), she portrayed tennis champion Evonne Goolagong, and she had a minor role in Angels & Demons (2009). Although of a different ethnicity to Goolagong, she was cast in Frost/Nixon because she had the “right look”. Both of her scenes were cut from the films before release.
