Characters who disappeared without a trace - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

BLT · 04-10-2003, 11:44 AM

These characters just didn't work out, by that I mean they were either regulars & dropped w.out a trace or they were intended to be a regular at some time but it didn't happen for one reason or another.

Chuck, the older brother (Happy Days)
Judy(?), the younger sister (Family Matters)
Carrie's sister (King of Queens)
Walt (NewsRadio) - It clearly looked like they were grooming him to be a regular at the end of season 4, but then Phil died & Walt was never seen again.
Tia Carrerre (A-Team) On the season 4 finale she played the daughter of General Fulbright and it was intended that she'd become a regular, but she was under contract by Aaron Spelling under the time so it didn't happen.

He did. He officially left at the start of the last season.

Since I can't think of any other characters at the moment, I'll mention another one from Step By Step. Does anyone remember some guy named Flash? He was awful. It looked like they were going to have him as a regular to sort of replace Cody. It never happened.

Now I have one. It's lame, but he did just disppear without an explanation. Tiger from The Brady Bunch.

Speedy the dog on "The Drew Carey Show"

Madeline Adams and Becky Slater on The Wonder Years were two I thought of for this category.

Also, how about Sonny St. Jacques (played by Ed Marinaro) on the 1980-1981 season (first in California) on Laverne and Shirley? When I saw him I thought he'd make a good regular character as their landlord.

The Petries neighbors Fred & Dottie and their daughter Ellen on "The Dick Van Dyke show"-they were in the first episode, but then just dissapeared.

The Littlefields from I Love Lucy. There made two episode appearances and just disappeared.

Harry Conners from The Lucy Show. We see him in a handful of first season episodes, but he disappears soon after the 22nd episode without any reason.
