This is actually interesting, most we know some we don't.

Nice read. The only ones that really bothered me were Mr. Turner & Minkus from "Boy Meets World", Judy from "Family Matters", and Cody from "Step by Step". I'm so glad that Sasha Mitchell was found not guilty, I always loved him as 'Cody' and it was nice to see him again in the next-to-last episode of the series.

I don't know if this really counts but I want to add Frasier's Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe to this list. He was in so many episodes and then he just disappeared without explanation. I'm still wondering what happened because he was one of my favorite characters and I was disappointed that he wasn't in the finale at all. I don't even remember if he was in the very last shot where they are all watching Frasier do his last broadcast through the window.

I would add Seven from 'Married with Children', one of the least liked character ever.

How about Cindy, Molly, Nancy, and Sue Ann from "The Facts of Life" as well as Steven Bradley?

They never mention why they were dropped in the 2nd season.

Actually THIS WAS mentioned. Years later in "The Little Chill" they explained those girls had all left Eastland when Jo arrived. It was a bit of revisionist history though because those girls were seen in minor roles during a few season 2 episodes; they were explained as having been sent to live in a different dorm; and then they were never seen again.

Okay then...never mind.

But were there any others from FOL?

Good add on forgot about this one, liked the joke where his pic was on a milk carton LOL. Producers found out he didn't work out.

Good choice, I really liked the interaction between him and Roz. I've always wondered why he disappeared he was a great in his part and fit in well as part of the cast.

That is a good choice and I never even realized it until it was just pointed out.

I know he was in a few episodes in the later seasons, but your right he did just kind of slowly disappear.

Didn't "Jake Ochmonek" disappear from ALF without an explanation as well?

comedyfreak · 08-31-2014, 04:30 AM

I don't remember but, Mrs Ochmonek was a stronger character than Jake.

Yes she was, of the three she was always my favorite.

comedyfreak · 08-31-2014, 04:36 AM

She was their version of Gladys Kravitz

factsoflife · 08-31-2014, 04:31 PM

Jenny on "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" vanished. Valerie vanished too, but I think they sort of explained that one... Also, Miles vanished too. Never mentioned again... Also, Libby Chesler.
