Mentioning characters you don't plan to use?
Desiderius Price replied to Deadman's topic in Writers' Corner
Know readers would likely wonder where Jane is, so yeah, a short snippet is good. Maybe you write a short-short story that covers it? (Even if you don’t publish, it’d be good to reference.) A decent example I’m thinking of, is Star Trek TNG, Gates McFadden got “fired” end of season 1, so they explained her absence as “reassignment to Starfleet Medical”, and once rehired for Season 3, “one year rotation’s over, she’s back”. -

Me trying to spin a one-line tale with the dialogue… I figure if it’s nagging on your mind, then it’s likely nagging on the reader’s mind. Perhaps you’re wanting to sow seeds for a follow-on story (not the direct sequel), so you could drop breadcrumbs, “She’s gone to explore jungles in Colombia haven’t heard from her in ages.” Anyways, ideas there, hope it helps.
