Summary
With Leia back at her grandparents' place inThat ’90s Showseason 2, I’m surprised that one family member still hasn’t been mentioned.That ’90s Showseason 2, part twohas reunited Leia with her grandparents and has even shown hints of what her life is like back home in Chicago with her parents, Donna and Eric Foreman, cast members ofThat ’70s Show. Despite this, there is still one member of Leia Foreman’s family that hasn’t really been mentioned yet, and I’m surprised it’s taking this long.
AlthoughThat ’90s Showcameoshave featured several characters from the original cast ofThat ’70s Show, many main characters have returned to play a significant major role in Leia’s life inThat ’90s Show. For example, Red and Kitty Foreman, Leia’s grandparents, remain main characters of the show. As the sequel toThat ’70s Show,That ’90s Showplays on familiar plots and characters from its predecessor, which is why it’s so surprising thatone character’s fate still hasn’t been acknowledged.

That ’90s Show Season 2 Still Hasn’t Addressed What Happened To Midge Pinciotti
Midge’s Absence Could Be Explained By Tanya Roberts’ Passing
That ’90s Showshows Leia bonding with her grandparents, Red, Kitty, and Bob. However,the absence of Leia’s maternal grandmother, Midge, still hasn’t been addressed in season 2.The actress who plays Midge, Tanya Roberts, sadly passed away in 2021. However, even though Roberts has passed away, I think it’s still important to acknowledge her character because she’s still Leia’s grandmother and Donna’s mother. Given her direct relation to two of the main cast members ofThat ’90s ShowandThat ’70s Show, ignoring her absence is strange.
Midge’s absence could be explained by acknowledging that she has passed away, butThat ’90s Showseason 2 has yet to make such an announcement through one of the characters. The only other explanation that would explain why Midge is not actively a part of Leia’s life is Midge’s lack of commitment to both Bob and Donna, as the character constantly left her family to pursue other dreams inThat ’70s Show. I think it would be best to learn about what happened to Midge either through Kitty or Bob and I’m hoping someThat ’90s Showseason 2, part two episodesaddress this.
Bob’s Return To Point Place Makes Midge’s Absence More Difficult To Ignore
What Happened To Midge?
That ’90s Showhas already shown Bob returning to Point Place and moving in next to Red and Kitty to be closer to his granddaughter. The move was part of a plan between Donna and Kitty to give Red some companionship, since Kitty works during the school year and Leia only stays during the summer. At some point during part two,Kitty announced that after Bob’s move, all of Leia’s grandparents would be in one place.Missing originalThat ’70s Showactors is not uncommon inThat ’90s Show,but it is weird when it’s a direct family member.
Whether (Midge) has passed away in the show or if she’s just not actively part of Leia’s life due to her distance from Bob and Donna is yet to be confirmed…
Kitty’s comment seems to imply that Midge doesn’t exist anymore inThat ’90s Show. Whether she has passed away in the show or if she’s just not actively part of Leia’s life due to her distance from Bob and Donna is yet to be confirmed. It’s aThat 90’s Showseason 2 problemthat hasn’t been solved. Whatever the case, I know that Midge was a humorous character inThat ’70s Showand I would like to see her absence acknowledged sometime soon inThat ’90s Show.
That ’90s Show
Cast
That ’70s Show returns set two decades later with That ’90s Show, acting as a sequel but bringing back old cast favorites. Led by Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) Forman, the new cast arrives as the next generation, with the daughter of Eric and Donna, Leia Forman, leading the charge. Spending the summer with her grandparents, Leia makes new friends and forges new bonds in Point Place, Wisconsin. That ’70s Show series regulars make cameos in the show to maintain that sense of familiarity, and the show adopts the conventions of the ’90s as expected. That ’90s Show first aired on Netflix with a total of ten episodes.
