a bike. Intended recurring roles Several characters on the series were written as recurring, but made only one appearance. Among them: Tina Pinciotti (played by Amanda Fuller) is the younger sister of Donna. She first appears in "Eric's Burger Job", but make no following appearances aside from a brief mention in the Soap parody in "Vanstock". She is later written out with no explanation, as demonstrated in the season 7 premiere when Kitty refers to Donna as Bob and Midge's only child. Valerie Pinciotti is the older never-seen sister of Donna and Tina Pinciotti, who was said to be away at college in "Eric's Birthday" and never mentioned again. Matthew and Rebecca Erdman (played by Kevin Farley and Shannon Holt) are the prudish, fundamentalist host parents of Fez. They first appear in "Drive-In" and convince Fez the rock music they detest is diabolical by playing a KISS album backwards. Although referenced several times, Fez's host parents make no further appearances in the show. They eventually kick Fez out of their home and take all his money as back rent because he graduated a year ago in season 7. Buddy Morgan (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is introduced in "Eric's Buddy" and was intended to become a recurring character. However, the introduction of a homosexual as a love interest for Eric (at a time when both Eric and Hyde were competing for Donna) did not go over well with audiences, and Buddy was cut from the show. Melissa (played by Reagan Gomez-Preston) appears in "Hyde Gets the Girl" as a potential love interest for Hyde. She was intended to become his on-off girlfriend. Patty (played by Lindsay Sloane) appears in two episodes in the season 2. She is introduced in "Eric Gets Suspended" along with her best friend, Mary (played by Melissa Joan Hart). The two go on a double blind date with Hyde and Fez. Hyde initially pairs with Mary, and Fez with Patty; but in the course of the date Hyde tells Fez to swap dates because he is hitting it off with Patty. Patty then returns in "Eric and Kitty's Night Out", becoming Fez's girlfriend. Patty's role and impact in the episode implies an intention to continue the character's appearance in the series, but Patty is not seen or mentioned again.
