7 TV Characters Who Disappeared From the Show With No Explanation

Cast changes are part and parcel of making a TV series, whether because actors want to move on, characters outstay their welcome, or it's just time for a show to hit the refresh button. Most of the time, to maintain a sense of reality, writers will work these exits into the storyline in some form, even with just a line or two of dialogue if a cast member leaves abruptly. Sometimes, however, internal consistency is tossed out the window; a character simply walks off-screen, and nobody sees or mentions them again.
