@DRW50 Are you talking about the character that was named after writer Jerry Birn? That was an incredibly odd story.
B&B would be the king of dropped plots over the years—Pierce and his creepy assistant Bailey, Amber’s twin, and half of what Thudley spoiled/proposed like from 2003-06 never came to fruition (ie Eric having a Lolita story, Forrester’s being written out in favor of Sydney Penny’s character family, Thomas gf going psycho etc)
Same with Days…
A few other examples outside of B&B and Days from other shows spring to mind:
ATWT-Nikki Munson returns in 2004 and is just dropped as quickly. The actress really should have been a Molly recast. Also a “Julia” returned but turned out to be a completely different crazy Julia I wonder what happened there.
GL-During the clone story the guy Sean from the island came to Springfield and was supposedly to have a major backstory in Springfield, but then was quickly dropped and never mentioned again.
Y&R-Another show with a number of examples particularly during the Latham and Pratt eras, but one late Bell era story that didn’t really develop to me what the Geri Paulsen story. The show couldn’t decide what to do with the non-story. First it was just Victoria being paranoid and jealous, then it was hinted Geri might be OBSESSED with Cole, to finally Geri admitting she was smitten with Cole and then was completely dropped without mention again.
