Although Sara appeared in five of the first six episodes, she was written off without explanation. The retcon wasn’t immediate—Season 3 still referenced her—but later seasons explicitly treated Carrie as an only child, making Sara a classic case of “Chuck Cunningham Syndrome.” A fascinating look at how sitcoms handle continuity and character pruning. 📺🔄🧩 play Frankie’s Fun House
