Disappearing memorable/main characters

★ 'Tanya Baxter' - T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh
Tanya Baxter left the show after the episode ''Food for Thought''. She has been mentioned many times since, but has not been seen since. Instead, the characters refer to her as having traveled to Britain to study law further. Despite her disappearance, Keymáh was still credited for the remaining six episodes of season three. On Keymáh's official website, ^[1] it states that she agreed to play Tanya Baxter for three seasons only. However, some state that Keymáh left the show after creative differences.^[2]

★ 'Mr. Lawler' - Wesley Mann
Mr. Lawler a popular recurring character during seasons one and two of ''That's So Raven'', was neither seen nor mentioned again after the episode ''Clothes Minded''. However, in season four, Raven and Chelsea were standing outside Principal Lawler's office. He tends to spit a lot while talking, making the seat right in front of his desk avoided by students. Lawler replaced Mr Perkins as Principal after Perkins became Schools Superintendant, Lawler served as Principal from 2003 - 2006. Principal Lawler was replaced by Principal Stuckerman.

★ 'Ben "Stinky" Sturky' - Joshua Harto (Joshua Denver Harto)
Ben Sturky disappeared after three episodes in the first season. This may be because in season one, Raven attended 'Bayside Junior High' and in seasons two through four she goes to 'Bayside High School' - Ben Sturky presumably would have gone to a different high school. He has a extreamily bad smell and is avoided because of it. A recuring gag is that whenever he lifts his arms, whoever smelled his armpits, would faint on contact. He really likes Raven and called her "the cutest girl in school" once. They most likely, however, ended their relationship as friends.

★ 'Alana' - Adrienne Bailon (Adrienne Eliza Bailon) and 'Bianca' - Erica Rivera (Erica Flor Rivera)
Alana is a rival and bully of Raven since elementary school and every episode she appeared, she almost found out Raven's secret. She disappeared in season three after appe aring in four episodes because, according to Muffy, "she was so bad, she got sent to military school". She was replaced by 'Bianca', who was "so bad, she got ''kicked out'' of military school". However, Bianca herself disappeared after two episodes in season three and was neither seen nor mentioned again. Muffy and Loca however, are from Alana's and Bianca's gang and is usually present in the newer episodes, but Muffy and Loca have not appeared together in the same episode since Bianca's last appearance despite stating they didn't know how to be individuals. For this reason, some believe that Bianca's gang is no more. Maybe Bianca was sent back to military school or perhaps was transferred, it is never explained but Bianca is clearly no longer in Raven's school.

★ 'Sierra' - Juliette Goglia (Juliette Rose Goglia), Raven's neighbor is never seen again after only two episodes. She is very annoying and her antics make Raven look like a maniac. She looks up to Raven as if she was her own sister, which caused even more mishaps.

★ 'Mr. Petracelli' - Ernie Sabella, Raven's teacher was never or mentioned later on after the episode ''Escape Claus. He is able to detect whether people are paying attention or not, as if he were a robot, and only picks on students who are not listening in an attempt to humiliate them. He has a discusting neck crack. Every year he plays Santa Claus.

★ 'Chantel' - Drew Sidora (Drew Sidora Jordan), Eddie's girlfriend in season 3. Although she appeared in four episodes (in season 3) the last appearance was in ''Save the Last Dance'', she is never seen or mentioned in season 4. She has an incredible appetite but is very beautiful anyway.

Disappearing significant others

★ In the pilot episode of ''That's So Raven'' entitled ''Smell of Victory'', Eddie begins dating a girl named Crystal (played by Christel Khalil). She is neither seen nor mentioned again until the season two episode ''The Dating Shame'', when Crystal along with her friend Claudia compete against Raven and Chelsea to go out with a guy named Chad in the fictional dating show ''Termi-Date''. The only other time Crystal was mentioned was during the beginning of the third season episode, ''Point of No Return'', when Raven, Eddie, and Chelsea all talk about Crystal's upcoming party.
