20 Ways Your Favourite TV Shows Were Almost Completely Different

Kate Lockley is one of the most infamous instances of a TV character disappearing without a trace, having been an important part of Angel's first two seasons before leaving due to actress Elisabeth Röhm having scheduling conflicts.

While Season 2 started Kate down a path of being anti-vampire, it would've been taken a lot further had she stayed on the show. The plan was for her to become an associate of Daniel Holtz, a vampire hunter, with a father-daughter-like relationship with him.

This eventually became new character Justine Cooper, but the impact on Angel (both the character and show) would've been far greater with Kate involved, and likely would've stretched beyond Justine's time on the show too.
