Betty, you've just described Rex and Hannah R&H appeared for six episodes in Season One of Charmed and then they were gone. On the show, they got virtually no character development because they didn't stick around long enough to get any. They then fell into my hands, and the rest is history. The Rex and Hannah Chronicles are where R&H really came into their own. Since the show was finished by the time I created the R&H Chronicles in 2008, I had a whole world to build around R&H without having to worry about the show creatively stepping on my toes (since I don't consider the comics canon, they are not a factor in things). And yes, a certain someone has called R&H my "Gary Stu" and "Mary Sue". However, since this person's fan fiction collection consists mostly of stories they've stolen from other authors, I really don't put much stock into what they say.

I thought as much.
Which left me with a nice blank slate to work with. Since nothing was revealed about them, I could easily fill in the blanks. And since they were never mentioned in the later seasons, they were completely unaffected by the events in said seasons. Those that write stories about the Halliwell family are not so lucky, of course.
I think that it's safe to say that, without me, R&H would have been totally forgotten. The ONLY story I've seen that featured them, that I had nothing to do with, was the story at Destined, An All Knighter. Unfortunately, as we know, that story was never completed.
Thanks, Betty.

Glad to help.
Wow, 90210 sure did have a lot of "Rex and Hannah" characters. Seems to me that the writers of that show really dropped the ball on a lot of them. And unlike R&H, none of them that were killed off could so easily be brought back, since magic clearly doesn't exist in the 90210 reality. It sounds like quite a few of these characters had interesting potential that was never used.

That reminds me of those old serials they used to make, back in the 1930's and 40's. The hero would be trapped in a car going over a cliff, the car would go over, BOOM! To Be Continued.
Next week, they'd show that scene again, except we'd see the hero getting out of the car just before it went over the cliff. Corny, right. However, this was as different time.
To expect something like that to work in the 1990's was just ridiculous.

Hmmmm, another Spelling show that drastically changed when the original creator left. Too bad they don't show episodes from that alternate universe in this one Since I'm not a 90210 fan, I'll take your word for it. Sue may have been unlucky, but the actor that played her, Nicholle Tom, did well. Soon after leaving 90210, she landed a role on Fran Drescher's sitcom, The Nanny, which would run for six years.

There was this character that DC Comics made, back in the mid 80's: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KoleI felt this character had potential. However, in the nearly thirty years since the Crisis, they haven't brought her back. They've dragged every other hero that died in the Crisis back from the Spirit World, but why not her??

Yeah, that really sucks.
I doesn't surprise me that you didn't know about her. From what you've told me, you've never been into super hero comics. Also, the majority of Kole's appearances happened in the mid 1980's, years before you were born (yeah, call me Grandpa).
Again? DC changes its continuity more than I change my socks. Crisis On Infinite Earths REALLY f*cked them up. Thirty years later, they're STILL trying to clean up the mess it made.
I've seen the episode on YouTube. It's pretty good for a cartoon.
Maybe if DC ever gets its act together, which I doubt, since they haven't been able to do so in three decades now, they can bring her back.
