List of Recurring That '70s Show Characters - Intended Recurring Roles

Intended Recurring Roles

Several characters on the series were written as recurring, but made only one appearance. Among them:

  • Tina Pinciotti (played by Amanda Fuller) was the younger sister of regular Donna Pinciotti. She first appeared in "Eric's Burger Job", but made no appearances following that, save for a brief mention in the episode "Vanstock". A similar situation occurred with unseen Valerie Pinciotti.
  • Valerie Pinciotti was the older sister of Donna Pinciotti and Tina Pinciotti, who was said to be away at college and then never mentioned again.
  • Buddy Morgan (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) was introduced in "Eric's Buddy", and was intended to become a recurring character. However, the introduction of homosexual Buddy as a love interest for Eric (at a time when both Eric and Hyde were competing for Donna) did not go over well with audiences, and Buddy was cut from the show.
  • Melissa (played by Reagan Gomez-Preston) appeared in "Hyde Gets The Girl" as a potential love interest for Hyde. She was intended to become his on-off girlfriend.

Famous quotes containing the words intended, recurring and/or roles:

    “Mee of these
    Nor skilld nor studious, higher Argument
    Remaines, sufficient of it self to raise
    That name, unless an age too late, or cold
    Climat, or Years damp my intended wing
    Deprest, and much they may, if all be mine,
    Not Hers who brings it nightly to my Ear.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “I am a writer and a feminist, and the two seem to be constantly in conflict.... ever since I became loosely involved with it, it has seemed to me one of the recurring ironies of this movement that there is no way to tell the truth about it without, in some small way, seeming to hurt it.”
    —Nora Ephron (b. 1941)

    “Modern women are squeezed between the devil and the deep blue sea, and there are no lifeboats out there in the form of public policies designed to help these women combine their roles as mothers and as workers.”
    —Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)
