I didn't notice for a long time either. When the show was originally on ABC I never really saw her, when I started watching the show in reruns I saw her there but I didn't know who she was. I thought that she was Rachel's daughter at first since she would be with Richie sometimes. Then in the second episode I heard Harriet mention her three kids-Eddie,Laura, and Judy. At that point I was very confused, so I went on the internet and read about her character. Apparantly what happened, according to the producer of the show, it was a budget concern, they didn't want to pay her when her character was never on the show. So they got rid of her.
