Thanks for putting this list together.

 

Funny to read and think how much dead weight I thought some of these people were at the time.  Now it is like Masterpiece Theater compared to the last 4 years.

It looks like I might be able to put together 1999, the recaps and transcripts seem good.

Look how far up Jackie Zeman was that year. When did they really start phasing her out? EDIT: According to your Google spreadsheet, it was 2003 when she dropped episode count, and in 2009 she began to disappear completely. Not sure how that aligns with her cosmetic work.

Zeman was dropped to recurring in 2007, I do believe.

The last year Riche was there she had just had that work done that changed the shape of her face.  From the Carly is your daughter reveal episode to her aborted wedding with Jerry, her face changed pretty dramatically.  She also darkened her hair a lot and grew it really long again and started dressing much sexier.  It was kind of harsh at the time.

 

After JFP got there and started really sidelining her(our audience doesn’t want to watch people over 40 kissing), she had another procedure that was really just hard to watch.

 

I used to wonder if the Carly storyline really affected her.  She went from having small kids on the show to being a grandmother in like 4 years.  That would be hard on anyone, let alone an actress.  Her cosmetic surgery got way more noticeable then too.
