Laurie Forman was originally intended to be a main character, as the 7th teenager. Lisa Robin Kelly (who plays Laurie) abruptly vanished after the first half of season 3, and was cut from the opening credits for the rest of the season. Some sources claim she left on her own initiative, others that she was fired, despite being quite a popular character on the show, so there are two very different stories out there about her departure. She returned back to the show toward the end of the fifth season, and appeared in a few episodes, only to disappear again at the beginning of the sixth season, and then was replaced by Christina Moore. Her character was eventually written out after season 6. Just over ten years after Kelly's last episode as Laurie, Kelly died from multiple drug intoxication (an overdose). It is believed that Kelly's own issues with substance abuse and her psychological issues (and a miscarriage) prevented her from committing to the show full time.
