Fans of Lincoln and Octavia weren't thrilled with the new relationship. They don't think Octavia doesn't deserve to find love again after tragically losing Lincoln, but the way it was handled didn't give much opportunity for her relationship with Ilian to be appreciated as completely as it might have been. However, that doesn't stop them from enjoying more of Ilian every time he comes up in a story. Ilian does appear to be interested in her, even if it's only as a friend. She seems to like him too, which is evident by the fact that she hasn't tried to sleep with him yet. If anything, this new development will most likely cause more drama between Lincoln and Octavia since Ilian is now competing with Lincoln for her attention. But that doesn't mean they can't still be friends though, especially since Ilian now has his own story to follow. Octavia did get married once before in an alternate universe where Lincoln died first. Her husband's name was Michael and she met him when she was a young girl living with her father in a small town called St. Louis. One day while walking home from school along with her best friend Sarah, they saw an accident involving a truck and a car. The driver of the truck was an attractive man named Lincoln who saved both of their lives by pulling them out of the path of the oncoming car.
