The [[Brother Chuck|mysterious vanishing]] of a hero's established love interest between the first movie and the sequel. Related to the [[Cartwright Curse]], but this is where what happened to her [[What Happened to The Mouse?|isn't mentioned]], and [[Forgotten Fallen Friend|is never referenced again.]] They can't have the hero settle down because [[Status Quo Is God]]. On the other hand, they can't make the hero look like a heel by spelling out why their relationships always fail, so the situation becomes the [[Elephant in The Living Room]].
Basically, the girls aren't put into the movies to be characters or interesting, but merely so that the main character can go through the motions of a fresh [[Token Romance]] in every single sequel.
Related to [[Girl of the Week]]. See also [[Disposable Woman]].
{{examples
* Basically, every [[James Bond (Film)|James Bond]] movie ever produced.
