Put on a Bus: Difference between revisions

** In the same vein as above, Max Cavanaugh, the father of Jill Hennesey's Jordan Cavanaugh in ''[[Crossing Jordan]]'', "went underground" after being suspected of killing a police officer. That he was quickly cleared didn't apparently give him enough reason to return, giving the show an opportunity to cut a large set out of the expected places to put scenes.

* ''[[Three's Company]]'' had this happen with a bunch of characters. The Ropers were screwed when they were written out of the show and their spinoff was canceled. They only returned once as guest stars for an episode a couple years later. Suzanne Somers's character, Chrissy Snow was also sent away when her contract wasn't renewed because of her protesting for a pay raise. Her character was sent off to tend to her sick aunt. She spent the rest of her run on the show in brief on-the-phone segments until her contract ran out.

* Boner on ''[[Growing Pains]]'' went off and joined the Marines. He never did return, and was never even mentioned again.

* ''[[Doctor Who]]''
