* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the book, his son Jacob died in infancy, causing him tremendous guilt over being an obstetrician and still unable to save his own child. In the series, it's implied that Jacob dies of complications from some sort of genetic condition that could not be treated without breaking the Silo's laws. He's still carrying serious guilt over being powerless to save Jacob, and being unable to keep Hanna from killing herself in the aftermath, but in this version it's not because he failed in his work.

* TheLancer: He serves as Holston and later Juliette's right-hand man. He also serves as a foil to both in intriguing ways. Sam's gruff and coarse manner contrasts with Holston's polite stoicism, and he's far more experienced and worldly than Juliette.
