On the west wing - Josh had a girl he flirted with named Mandy pretty consistently. Season 2 and she was gone and never spoken about again.

I'm surprised this wasn't further up. There's even a term for characters who are written out of a show early in its run: They're being sent to "Mandyville."

Yeah, Moira Kelly was actually 2nd billed in Season 1 behind Rob Lowe, then just disappeared. I always thought Mandy was meant to be a major player. I guess the writers didn't know what to do with her.

I don’t think they anticipated the chemistry between Josh and Donna.

Moira Kelly did seem like an outsider even though he was 2nd billed.
