Current Talk '05 II / Re: barnabas and rachel drummond
« on: October 07, 2005, 03:49:45 AM »i didn't know that the reason that rachel disappears from the storyline was that kls requested time off.does that mean that the kitty hampshire character was not originally part of the story but hastily written in when kls wanted to return?
No, it was the DS PTB who told KLS that she had to come back because they were ready to introduce Kitty into the storyline.

i wonder why they didn't just bring rachel back rather than creating a different character?
Apparently they thought it was better to kill off Rachel than to just have her disappear. Actually, a few characters within different storylines were killed off because the actors portraying them either decided to leave the show or went off temporarily to do other things. The behind the scenes goings on that influenced the storylines are often just as interesting as what was happening on screen.

When Liz was in Windcliff and dead but not dead, and when Judith was institutionalized, Joan was off doing Summer Stock.
