“All My Children” have that happen a few times over the years where a character would stop showing up for good without explanation. The most famous one is Bobby Martin, Ruth and Joe Martin’s oldest kid who, one day in the first year of the show back in 1970, went up to the attic to wax his skis and was never heard of again. The writers did a joke on this back in thr 80′s where another character, Opal, went up to that attic and backed into one of those med. school skeletons that was wearing a ski cap with “Bobby” written on it.

They missed Spin City. I’ve long thought it was inexcusable that they devoted an entire much-hyped episode to Michael J. Fox’s departure, since three other cast members abruptly left the show at the same time without explanation.

I remember that Golden Girls had a gay cook in the first episode, which by chance I’ve caught on reruns several times.
