Long Bus Trip	comment	A Long Bus Trip is when a character is Put on a Bus in such a way that arranging a return would be simple, but then the character never actually comes back. This is most striking when the audience only learns of it retroactively, especially when the character was intended or hinted to be returning. It may also occur as the result of a series being Left Hanging. Character Outlives Actor is a form of this enforced by Real Life. If Died During Production instead results in Back for the Dead or a Bus Crash, that's The Character Died with Him. When this is done to a character in-story as a coverup for execution, it's Released to Elsewhere. Compare Chuck Cunningham Syndrome and Put on a Bus to Hell. Contrast Bus Crash (which kills the character outright) and Back for the Dead (when the character returns briefly, only to be killed off), and The Bus Came Back for that one single return.

Long Bus Trip / int_1a76a111	comment	Crash Bandicoot: Tawna, Crash's main squeeze in the first game, had a pretty rough go of this, disappearing altogether after being rescued. According to the Japanese manual for Cortex Strikes Back, she broke up with Crash between games and started dating Pinstripe instead, leading to a nearly decade-long absence before reappearing in Crash Boom Bang!, a very obscure DS party game released in 2006. Tawna wouldn't start making regular appearances again until 2017's N. Sane Trilogy. There's also the elemental masks, Zem, Zam, Rusty Walrus, Pasadena O'Possum and Von Clutch. Eventually averted with Zem, Zam, Pasadena and Von Clutch, who all returned for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, while the elemental masks would have their turn in Crash: On the Run! All of the above pale in comparison to Mr. Crumb, who wouldn't avert this until his unexpectedly triumphant return in On the Run!, 23 years later.

Long Bus Trip / int_1bdeba5a	comment	Two sets of X-Men dove into what was essentially Hell to rescue their version of seven year old Illyana Rasputin from a demonic wizard named Belasco. One set got her out safely but were trapped themselves (the lucky ones died), the other set escaped but their Illyana spent seven years stuck there as Belasco's student while getting her soul sacrificed piece by piece before she overthrew him and returned to earth a heartbeat after Kitty lost her grip. A few years later, after Illyana's apparent Heroic Sacrifice, her eldritch armor was torn open to find a seven-year-old and wholly uncorrupted version of her. It was over twenty years before the X-writers were permitted to account for what was obvious to most readers at the time... it could easily have been the other Illyana. Let's face it: for the X-Men, death is essentially being Put on the Bus.

His absence is explained by a hilarious one sided phone conversation with Steve: "No, Jeff, the name of the island is pronounced Les-BOSS..... well that was fairly over-optimistic of you really wasn't it?". By the end of the show, Jeff is still "trapped" on Lesbos as a result of not being able get a passport... or something; Word of God has it that he ultimately decided to live there.

Long Bus Trip / int_20bd532b	comment	The title character of the newspaper comic Robotman and Monty was written out of the strip, at the request of the comic's syndicate (tired of fielding complaints from readers confusing the absurdist humor strip with the much more kid-friendly "Robotman & Friends" toys and books). It would be easy to bring Robotman back, as he's alive and well in space, but it's unlikely to ever happen.

Long Bus Trip / int_2170b9bf	comment	On Becker, Terry Farrell's character, Reggie, was put on one when Farrell was booted from the series under suspicious circumstances (she has told interviewers that it came as a complete shock to her and that she is unsure of exactly why it happened, although she reportedly led a strike among the show's cast). Farrell was even fired before the episode was filmed, and thus never even appeared on the episode where she was placed on the long bus trip, but was dismissed in a rather unflattering way where Farrell herself vanished but Reggie's continued presence was inferred (i.e. it was simply related that she slept with Becker, and it made her realize that she needed a change immediately). This was all done in a very implausibly slipshod way, obviously trumped up at the last minute: i.e. it was inferred that Reggie was popping in and out without Farrell ever being on-camera during the entire episode, and finally Reggie said good-bye to the cast in a phone-call that was dictated to them all by a complete stranger (don't ask — I said it was implausibly slipshod).

The official reason in-show was that she was leaving to go on a tour of the Orient, and (off-screen) deeded the Southfork ranch to her son, Bobby. Despite her appearances in several of the Dallas reunion specials, she never appeared in either of the two television movies (J.R. Returns and War of the Ewings) made in the 90's.

Long Bus Trip / int_27831967	comment	On Parks and Recreation, Mark Brendanawicz left his city planning job for the government to take a new architect job at a private construction company in the Season 2 finale. Although the writers kept the door open for a return and planned to have Mark come back every once in a while, those plans never materialized partly due to the writers simply not being able to work out a way to bring him back and partly because actor Paul Schneider had no interest or desire to come back after feeling like his character was being left behind while the show was finding more of its own identity and style away from its parent series. It also overlaps some with Chuck Cunningham Syndrome, as even though Mark should still be living in Pawnee, a relatively small town, he is never seen, heard from, or even mentioned again, to the point of seeming like an Un-person in the eyes of the writers. Notably, while many other prominent supporting characters made cameo appearances in the seventh and final season, Mark wasn't one of them, nor does he show up in any of the clips playing during a flashback montage in the Grand Finale. He also wasn't brought back for the 2020 Reunion Show either.

At the end of the episode he was sent off to have the "troubles" repaired, but aside from a cameo (from the back) during a music video in the special "Calling All Engines" he has not been seen since. Considering that his model was based on a locomotive design that really was that unreliable (details here), it's entirely possible they're still not there yet.

She knew that what she was doing was making a difference, but she knew any other good pilot could do as well, and she chafed under orders. She left without malice towards the squadron, hinting that she would try and talk Sixtus Quinn into joining the Rebel Alliance. But although plenty of other allies showed up again during the series, including a commando leader from that same issue, Elscol and Sixtus didn't. Not until the novels, anyway.

Erica and Callie get in a fight about the Izzie LVAD-cutting debacle and about how Callie "can't be kind of a lesbian," and she walked off into the parking lot... forever. She was then more or less replaced with perky Lipstick Lesbian Arizona Robbins. Further proof of Shonda Rhimes' ridiculous and fickle casting habits.

Long Bus Trip / int_3d675821	comment	A very interesting example with K9999. Debuting in The King of Fighters 2001, the first entry of the series where SNK was forced to pair up with Eolith due to their 2000 bankruptcy, K9999 was one of that saga's many "Kyo clones" created by the NESTS cartel but was not well-received due to being a blatant Captain Ersatz of Tetsuo Shima — right down to the voice actor. K9999 would make one more appearance in 2002 before SNK seemingly retired the character completely, replacing him in 2002: Unlimited Match with Nameless, a Suspiciously Similar Substitute who was far more original in terms of design and powers (and depicted in a sympathetic light). Then along came KOF XV, which introduced Krohnen, a blue-haired, yellow-wearing former NESTS operative who's incredibly similar to K9999... and that's because he is K9999, having adopted a new alias to evade his former employers (with the Tetsuo traits being toned down considerably and Krohnen adopting aspects of fellow "clones" K' and Nameless for his revamped design and moveset, all to avoid any possible grounds for a lawsuit).

A better example would be Rocky: he didn't even leave Angel Grove, he just stopped hanging with the Rangers. Per Word of God, they tried to get Steve Cardenas to come back for "Forever Red" (the series' 10th anniversary team-up episode), but he didn't respond in time — and even if he had, Rocky would have just been Tommy's butler, rather than being given the unused-in-America Gosei Sentai Dairanger costume as fans believed.

They also play a role in the Omega storyline in Stormblood where they wind up using most of their aether to save the Warrior of Light from being killed by Omega.

Despite Kouga having just received his tribe's very powerful ancestral weapon, meaning he's no longer reliant on those Shikon shards to fight at the heroes' level. Even Houjou, Kagome's other Hopeless Suitor, gets an appearance in the final volume.

Rebecca Chambers tops even Barry, being gone from the story since RE1*RE0, while released in 2002, was a prequel and therefore doesn't count before finally returning in the CG film Resident Evil: Vendetta a whole 21 years later. Claire Redfield, putting aside any CG media, hadn't appeared in a game since 2000's Resident Evil â€“ Code: Veronica. She wouldn't return until in Resident Evil: Revelations 2, 15 years later. Resident Evil 3 (Remake) notwithstanding, Jill Valentine's last canonical appearance was in Resident Evil: Revelations (2012). She was missing from the series for a full 11 years until finally returning in the CGI film Resident Evil: Death Island. In-Universe with the film set in 2015, itâ€™s technically a much shorter bus ride with last her chronological appearance being RE5 (2009).

It's actually pretty funny that Peter's last two girlfriends, Mia and Darcy, both took long bus trips straight to The CW to star in other teen dramas. The execs are not unaware of this bit of humor, and commented when 18 to Life got an airtime on The CW that it was the first time a Degrassi alum got a CW series without dating Peter. Then talked about doing a Degrassi mini where Peter and Ellie date. Alli's older brother Sav graduates from Degrassi and is never seen again, not for any holidays, or Alli's birthdays, or even when she is a victim of Domestic Abuse. Although most of the Degrassi cast members Graduate from the Story at some point, Sav's absence was notable because his sister remained on the show for some time after he left.

Kawalsky's death in the first regular episode leaves him the only surviving member of the original Stargate team other than O'Neil(l) and Daniel, and he was shown to be leading an SG team of his own in his several-second cameo in the first season finale. He was mentioned once more in season three, then permanently and entirely forgotten, though as a team leader, you'd think he'd at least be seen or mentioned around the SGC every so often. (Meanwhile, via flashbacks, time travel, and parallel universes, Kawalsky has returned plenty of times.) Of course, the really weird thing about this is that Ferretti was made leader of SG2 at the end of his last appearance, and SG2 is never shown or mentioned again. SG3 are recurring characters, and teams with numbers up to 25 are mentioned sometimes, but SG2 is never spoken of. It's almost as though the writers were planning to have him make an appearance at some point, but never got around to it. Jonas Quinn, after being a regular cast member in Season 6, hasn't been even mentioned in the Stargate universe since Season 7, even when his planet was invaded by the Ori. Even a Stargate Universe episode involving said planet shows no sign of him. Lt. Ford in Stargate Atlantis, in an example that crosses over with Never Found the Body, disappeared never to return following a hive ship explosion halfway through the second season. His conspicuous failure to return is more glaring in light of Sheppard's outright statement of relative certainty that he somehow survived and would turn up again at some point.

When Azula attacks the group in the next episode, Chit Sang is put on an airship with Hakoda, Haru, Teo, and The Duke and is the only one not to return at the end of the series finale. See also the Earth King, who takes off on his own at the beginning of Season 3 and is never seen again. Presumably he comes back after Ba Sing Se is liberated, but he's never shown in the series, appearing only much later in the follow-up comics. Also Hawkie, the messenger hawk Sokka buys while in the Fire Nation. Toph uses it to send a message to her parents and it's never seen again. Justified, since the cast is always traveling.

Benederet played Kate Bradley, a widowed mom who had just become a grandmother (in an episode where Benederet was too ill to appear and was played by a Fake Shemp). In a couple of episodes immediately following the birth of the baby, characters mentioned that Kate had to rush out of town and care for a sick relative. After that, she is barely mentioned again, and the show carries on almost as if she never existed. In one episode of the seventh season, her daughters remember her teaching them how to swim, and they seem a little sad, but it's left up to the viewers to decide if Kate died or not.

Over 1000 chapters, more than half of the Grand Line, and a two year Time Skip later, Gin still has yet to be so much as mentioned again — not even in the various covers that show characters worlds away from the main cast. And this is in a series where the author seemingly never forgets about characters. Then again, Gin was suffering from Don Krieg's MH5 poison at the time, and coughed up blood before he left, meaning he could have died off-screen.

In a much later newspost, Paul Gazikowski explained that Ector disappears from the source material at around the time Arthur becomes king, which makes sense in the baseline and space arcs, but that it's hard to justify the guardian of a modern 15-year-old simply fading from relevance. And he couldn't kill him off, because he wanted Merlin to be the first major character death. So he was sent to Iraq, and never specifically said to have returned or been killed, until Arthur was old enough that maybe his foster father wouldn't be a constant fixture in his life.

Fang the Sniper/Nack the Weasel, Bean the Dynamite, and Bark the Polar Bear. The first debuted in a handheld side game and was a recurring character in spin-off titles. Bean and Bark, however, only appeared in one game. At least they got cameos as figurines or on wanted and missing posters in Sonic Generations (2011) and Bean, Bark and Nack/Fang appeared as optical illusions in the boss fight against the Heavy Magician in Sonic Mania (2017). The real Fang would finally return in 2023's Sonic Superstars. Tikal only appeared in Sonic Adventure, and nowhere else but side content. Tikal can be excused by the fact that she's off with Chaos at... wherever it is they went off to at the end of Adventure.

Despite his redemption and origins as Emerl, the Robot Buddy at the center of Sonic Battle, Gemerl from Sonic Advance 3 has never appeared in any game afterward. Marine the Raccoon from Sonic Rush Adventure is one of the few characters that's most likely to come back. Yet as of 2011, we haven't heard from her since her first game appearance. However, she was briefly mentioned in the DS version of Sonic Colors as well as a costume in Mario & Sonic at The London 2012 Olympic Games.

So when, towards the end of Season 3, Mike gets a temp secretary assisted to him because Stacey Paterno was sick, you'd expect the character to return. Cue Episode 2 of S4, in which James becomes Mike's new assistant because he still hadn't got a new one and James would be out of a job otherwise. In between, no statement whatsoever is made about Stacey.

The first debuted in a handheld side game and was a recurring character in spin-off titles. Bean and Bark, however, only appeared in one game. At least they got cameos as figurines or on wanted and missing posters in Sonic Generations (2011) and Bean, Bark and Nack/Fang appeared as optical illusions in the boss fight against the Heavy Magician in Sonic Mania (2017). The real Fang would finally return in 2023's Sonic Superstars.

Long Bus Trip / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: "The Five Doctors" notwithstanding, Sarah Jane was left on Earth for 30(ish) years before resurfacing in 2006 and getting her own spinoff show. The reason that it was a bus trip rather than simply being written out was that Sarah Jane was forced to leave because the Doctor was summoned to Gallifrey. Jenny, the Doctor's daughter, was shown to have revived and left the planet she was on to follow in her father's footsteps. Georgia Moffett has expressed interest in reprising the role, as well, but it seems doubtful now that anything will come of it. As New Who progresses, more characters come back from a Long Bus Trip (not counting the Doctor Who Expanded Universe). Series 1 had the Autons after 34 years, Series 3 had the Macra after 40 years, Series 7 had the Great Intelligence after 44 years and the Ice Warriors after 39 years, and the 50th Anniversary had the Zygons after 38 years. The 2022 Easter Special had Sea Devils returning for the first time since 1984. The Pandorica Opens had a bus with a lot of passengers coming back for the Legion of Doom from the Classic Series, including the Zygons and Drahvins. However we only saw the creatures that had been in New Who up till that point, meaning a lot of fans felt this was a missed opportunity. The Eighth Doctor himself returned after seventeen years for the mini-sode "The Night of the Doctor". The classic Cybermen were absent from the revived series for over twenty-five years until making a grand reappearance in "Nightmare in Silver" (while Cybermen did appear before then, those were a different breed from a parallel Earth, and supposed appearances of the Mondasian Cybermen in other episodes looked identical to their Cybus counterparts). The classic classic Cybermen from "The Tenth Planet" wouldn't come back until Series 10 — over fifty years later! The undisupted king of this however is Ian Chesterton who was gone from the series for 57 years before making a suprise cameo in "The Power of the Doctor". Making Ian the only companion of the first Doctor to show up again in the story. Following close behind is the Celestial Toymaker, who first appeared in 1966's titular episode and returned to be the main villain in the 60th Anniversary Specials.

Long Bus Trip / int_c94b0000	comment	NYPD Blue: The departure of David Caruso was an example of this trope. Detective John Kelly doesn't even resign from the force. He simply moves to another precinct, leaving the option open for potential guest appearances in the future. There were even some hints later in the same season of his character coming back to be the best man at Detective Sipowicz's wedding, but a handwave was used to explain why it doesn't actually happen (in real life, the actor simply would not have agreed to return, even as a one-shot guest appearance, nor would producer David Milch have wanted him back). Implausibly, Kelly doesn't even visit his best friend Andy Sipowicz even when Andy gets married, no matter how badly Sipowicz obviously misses him. (Word of God says that the NYPD Blue producer kept a picture of Caruso on his desk whenever any actor came to discuss a raise.)

According to the Japanese manual for Cortex Strikes Back, she broke up with Crash between games and started dating Pinstripe instead, leading to a nearly decade-long absence before reappearing in Crash Boom Bang!, a very obscure DS party game released in 2006.

Long Bus Trip / int_d5ddd6c1	comment	PokÃ©mon: The Series: Almost everyone Ash meets, he promises to see again. Only a fraction of those end up being recurring characters. Ash promised that he'd come back for Pidgeot when he returnednote This is actually a Dub-Induced Plot Hole, Ash makes no such promise in the original Japanese dub. Twenty-four seasons later (including four returns to Kanto), he came back for it right on the Grand Finale. Maybe an even more ridiculous one would be Ash's Primeape, which was Put on a Bus less than five episodes after Ash caught it, left in the care of somebody who promised to turn it into "a true champion". It was never seen again. The promise to return was only in the dub; the original dialogue had no such comment. Yet, the openings "Spurt!" (the final opening of Advance Generation) and "Yajirushi ni Natte!" (the second opening of Best Wishes!) still count Primeape and Squirtle as PokÃ©mon who still are in his ownership. Speaking of returns to Kanto, Ash travels to the cities where Sabrina and Koga hold court in the Battle Frontier season to fight in the facilities of the eponymous organization, but neither makes an appearance.

Long Bus Trip / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney has a few people that went away for a long time: Dick Gumshoe was the recurring detective and witness since the very first game and he would help Phoenix out whenever he could on his investigations. By the fourth game, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Gumshoe only appears in a flashback and he has not been seen since then. He does get a mention in a later game, but only once. Mia Fey was Phoenix's mentor in the first game before she was brutally murdered. Her spirit would come back every now and then via spirit channeling through Maya or Pearl and she would help Phoenix out whenever he got in a bind. After the third game, she's pretty much written out entirely and isn't even mentioned by name other than "my mentor" by Phoenix. It can be assumed that Phoenix feels he doesn't need to rely on Mia anymore since he grew stronger as a person and lawyer. Larry Butz, Phoenix's childhood friend, stopped appearing by the time of Apollo Justice with no explanation at all. Due to Larry being the Cloudcuckoolander and greatly annoying everyone, it could be assumed that Phoenix didn't want to be near him. Larry would eventually return in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney â€“ Spirit of Justice in an DLC episode and plays an important role there.
