10 TV Characters Cut From Shows (In The Worst Way)

2. Judy - Family Matters

Judy Winslow Family Matters

Even if you haven't seen Family Matters you'll have seen the memes that have stemmed from it, or at least seen a video compilation of Urkel's many catchphrases. The most interesting story associated with the show, though, is actually what happened to Judy, the youngest of the Winslow family the show followed the lives of.

Things were smooth sailing for a good few years, but something strange happened in Season 4 when Judy was sent to her room... to never be seen again. In the next episode, not only was Judy never even mentioned, but now the Winslows were said to only have two children instead of three. So, what the hell happened?

Well, nobody really knows. Actress Jaimee Foxworth dropped off the face of the Earth afterwards, and Judy was never mentioned again in the show, and continues to be absent when the cast meet up for anniversaries and celebrations.

Was she abducted by aliens? Is there a Winslow murder mystery the rest of the family are trying to cover up? Did Leo and Cole come in to swoop her away offscreen? We'll never know.
