Page 16 December 13 - 19, 2021 BY GEORGE DICKIE Television history is littered with characters that disappeared without a trace or explanation. One of the most noteworthy was Chuck, the eldest Cunningham sibling in the 1974-84 ABC sitcom "Happy Days." As played by Gavan O'Herlihy – who passed away in September at the age of 70 – he was the basketball-playing son of Howard and Marion (Tom Bosley, Marion Ross) and brother of Richie and Joanie (Ron Howard, Erin Moran), who went off to college never to be seen nor heard from again after Season 2. In fact, his very existence was erased in latter seasons, with several references made to the Cunninghams' two offspring, not three. In reality, O'Herlihy had become disenchanted with the character's limited role and decided to move on to find more challenging work. He was grateful for the start the series gave him as it launched a busy career as a TV and film actor with more than 50 credits to his name. Viewers who want to acquaint themselves with Chuck can stream the early seasons of "Happy Days" on Amazon. The series can also be seen weeknights on MeTV. Whatever happened to ...?
