I was disapointed to see Rachel return in the episode when Richie Orders all that stuff off TV. It shocked the hell out of me to tell you the truth. Damn near had a heart attack that night. But then she only appeared in 3 or 4 other episodes after that. And 2 of them whereChristmas and Halloween episodes, so they aren't shown in syndication unless it's that time of year. And the other was the 2 parter Disney World episodes, and she was just sort of there in them. I don't think they should have brought her back like that, and then phase her out again. It makes you wonder where she is? They should have said she moved to New York because she got a new job, or something among those lines.

At first your topic scared me because it seemed like you didn't want her back but I understand where you are coming from. The writers should have done more to bring her back in. She help complete the Family especially with Richie being there. I missed that part with her talking to Richie about the toys and saw the closing credits with her name and got all excited then rewound the tape back and saw her. I was thrilled. She needed to be there in a sense since Richie was there. It sucked how she just disappeared. It wasn't till season 9 that we find out that she had to go take care of her ex sister n law in detroit. Richie's Aunt Helen. Or I think it was her sister n law.

Telma appeared in 6 episdoes during the 1994-1995 season.
