10 TV Characters That Disappeared Without A Trace

Behind every great leading actor, is an even greater background actor waiting for their big break. In Hollywood, actors spend pretty much their entire time in auditions, reading for countless characters and hoping against hope that they will get the role. And at the beginning of their careers, they will pretty much take whatever role they can get.

For Meghan Markle, yes that Meghan Markle, her career had seen a lot of small roles in long running TV series and TV movies. But it seemed her big break had come when she booked a role on Fringe. Her character, Agent Amy Jessup, was never at the forefront of the action, but she seemingly stole fans' hearts when she appeared in a few episodes of Fringe.

But her discovery of the Fringe files' connection with religious texts led to absolutely nothing! Because the rest of season 2 rolled around, and Jessup was nowhere to be seen.

The series creator claimed that Markle's character was still there in his "toolbox", but that for the time being he wanted to focus more on his main characters. But, because she was a burgeoning actress, Markle continued to pursue auditioning in the meantime and actually managed to REALLY catch her big break!

Once Miss Markle booked her leading role in Suits, Fringe's show creator had to relinquish his "tool" from his "toolbox", and Agent Jessup never managed to make her comeback on the show; leaving her storyline dropped for good.
