All: Characters who left and never returned

[ClassicSoapsFan]

Who are some characters on soaps who have left and never returned (whether mentioned or not.)

GL's popular example is Reva's sister Roxy.

Passions has the Russel family (sans Eve) who moved before Passions moved to DirecTV and never came back.

Y&R has Keemo (Jack's son)

GH has Audrey

Who are some other examples?

[VirginiaHamilton]

Every Black character on GH, save for Mary Mae Ward (who died along with her portrayer, the criminally underrated Rosalind Cash) and Justus Ward (who died when his usefulness as the Mob's pet Negro came to an end).

I never watched Direct TV version, did they explain where the other Russell's went to?

[frequentsoapfan]

New Orleans I think. Brook Kerr had booked an HBO pilot so they wrote Whitney off as leaving town after Chad died, I think Whitney was pregnant maybe, but the pilot ended up not getting picked up. I forget the reason for why they didn't bring over Simone and TC but they were with Whitney in New Orleans.

Actually Brook was cast in the pilot of True Blood but the show recast her part

Jimmy Lee and his daughter Rebecca on GH

[DRW50]

Gail, Lee, Audrey, Tom and Simone returned. Lesley did too. I think they mostly meant people who left and never came back, not even once.

Bobbie also left for a while in the early 80's and returned.

B&B:

Jessica Forrester

Maggie Forrester

Sally Spectra

Zach Hamilton

Dylan Shaw

RC & FV should bring back Jimmy Lee & his daughter Rebecca. Who is Rebecca's mom? They shoulda made Rebecca Shaw, Jimmy's daughter

[Mr. Vixen]

You're probably right. I was just thinking about overall.

Bobbie's 80's exit wasn't an actual exit though. JZ was still on contract but took time off, and was always returning.
