16 TV Characters We Never Actually Saw

7. Maris from Frasier

We never actually get to see Nile’s first wife, Maris, on Frasier, but from what we hear of her, she’s not the kind of person you’d ever want to meet. Frasier describes her “like the sun, except without the warmth.” During their divorce, it is eventually revealed that Maris is filthy rich. They may be ultra-snobby, her family came by their fortune through a urinal cake business.

8. Diane from Twin Peaks

The character Diane from Twin Peaks seemed to be the secretary of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper, although her unseen character was never totally explained. Agent Cooper would create notes for her into a dictaphone that had to do with observations and general tasks. Her elusiveness just added to the intrigue of the show.

9. George Steinbrenner from Seinfeld

The character George Costanza on Seinfeld worked for the New York Yankees, so his boss was George Steinbrenner. George Steinbrenner is a real guy, which is perhaps part of the reason why they never showed his face and had Larry David do his voice. Unlike many examples of unseen characters, Steinbrenner didn’t exactly seem all knowing. Instead he would talk non stop and make eccentric decisions for the team – but what do you expect from a show about nothing.
