Don't get me started on OmniverseJulie from Ben Ten was pretty bad.
Carly from Yu gi oh 5D's was bad as well, but thankfully that didn't happened.

At least he got a better deal than the other three, who went to a peace conference and never left.

Lmao, for real thoughThe first thing that came to mind was the big season 2 finale death of Titans.
It was a very... "did that really happen" moment.
Donna had a sister? Or are you thinking of Erik's sister?
I'm rewatching at the moment, Sal leaving hasn't happened yet but iirc it's pretty abrupt. Is it known why he was written out?Still pretty pissed at how they wrote out Sal Romano in Mad Men. Always felt like he was going to come back but he never did.
Genuinely one of the funniest sitcom moments ever:Hillary's boyfriend/fiance from Fresh Prince comes to mind. They just have him die in a friggin bungie jumping accident and hardly ever bring him up after.
Donna also had a sister for one episode in the first season. She shows up at the kegger they throw at Donna's, then is never heard from again.
I was kinda shocked when I later learned it was Meghan lol. Very weird indeed, I guess they just dropped her storyline as it wasn't working out. Iirc she was even onto the Fringe devision in her last scene and that they hide weird shit, then she is just gone lol.Meghan Markles character in Fringe. They introduced her as an addition to the main cast then poof she's gone after 2 episodes. I don't even think they wrote her out or anything, they just don't reference her after her last episode. It was very weird.
Jonas Quinn was thrown away like a dirty tissue after Daniel Jackson returned in Stargate SG-1
those came to mind when i watched some power rangers, if i recall right, i think the other guys were just like "hey, they got accepted into the UN peace conference, let's go tell them!" then they're silhouetted on a hill in front of the sun, so you can't tell who it is. as a kid you don't realize that the actors are literally gone at that point, lol.At least he got a better deal than the other three, who went to a peace conference and never left.
Denise Crosby quit the show because she was being sexually harassed so they just wrote her off in the laziest way possible.But wasn't that a response to the "red shirt" trope? Like they wanted to kill off a main character the same way as a red shirt. Just saying, it had some kind of purpose behind it. Plus, it gave room for Worf to take over and get more screen time, so I'd call that a win.

Chuck Cunningham, the eldest brother on Happy Days, went upstairs to his room one episode and was never seen or mentioned again.
My god-like powers and mastery of the universe passively foiled by a single zombie.fucking Amazo from JLU.
"Oh no, ressurected Grundy is too strong! If OP Amazo keeps standing around Grundy will steal his power and all of our heroes will die! Better send him off to fucking space until he figures out how to not let it happen." and then he never returns. Im still pissed.
Yeah they just forgot about himMisawa from Yugioh GX. Initially he starts out as a competent friend and rival who is seen as a genius for going the galaxy brain route of having multiple decks for different situations. Then he kind of accidentally "bangs" a tiger, and no one wants to talk to him again. In season 2 it's a running joke that nobody even remembers who he is. It gets so bad that when he goes up against the brainwashing cult, even though he has a chance to end it all right then he throws the match and joins them just so that someone will acknowledge him. That lasts for a few episodes before everyone forgets him again. He then leaves off-screen to work with card game Einstein.
He returns out of nowhere in season 3 and is actually taken a little seriously due to the stakes. Then when they go dimension hopping they run into said tiger lady that started his whole mess, and he decides to stay with her instead. After showing up one more time at the end of the season he apparently chooses to stay with tiger lady in that alternate dimension forever. Aside from one brief mention of him still missing nobody cares about his ultimate fate, and he doesn't show up at all in the last season. It's so funny that it crosses the line into being good, since at least he's probably happier than everyone else.
Goku and Bulma.Jimmy Steve in Shameless.
I liked that character a ton. Completely borked him 🤣 lmao
Leela's departure was especially bad... Big Finish trying it's best to justify it aside.It happened to a lot of companions in old doctor who, often times with having the woman fall in love with some random schmuck and staying.
Cordelia on Angel. I hated it back then, and knowing the reason behind it makes it even worse now.
Been binging this show and just got through those episodes, was hoping someone mentioned it here lolSuperstore did this recently with America Ferrera's departure, and ended five seasons of her and Jonah with a small, wet fart.
Hillary's boyfriend/fiance from Fresh Prince comes to mind. They just have him die in a friggin bungie jumping accident and hardly ever bring him up after.
Kate Warner from 24 also, brought her back for like 2 minutes at the start of season 3 just to break up with Jack before another crisis he has to deal with lol
I wasn't even aware of this. Why did he wanted to leave like this?The writers begged him to stay and he refused. They even wanted to write him off as being still married to Mary but being gone on business for the remainder of the show. He didn't want anything to do with it.
Ok gotcha, so it was a bit of a f-u then as well. So why did she come back?Denise Crosby quit the show because she was being sexually harassed so they just wrote her off in the laziest way possible.

The show runner who was sexually harassing people was fired. It's why Dr. Crusher leaves to head up Starfleet Medical and then comes back a year later as well.Ok gotcha, so it was a bit of a f-u then as well. So why did she come back?
I disagree with this. This was a great way to kill them off. Very Hitchcockian.
Oh yeahCordelia on Angel. I hated it back then, and knowing the reason behind it makes it even worse now.
