It does not seem to be a personification but nevertheless....................
Different character. I believe he was a baseball player who was dating Blanche, whom Blanche convinced to wear female undergarments during games. He ended up liking it a little too much and showed up at their house in a dress.

Phil was mentioned several times but never seen or heard.

Stop making me show how much Golden Girls trivia I know! My man card is in jeopardy.

And you saw all the parts of his face, just not at the same time, and his whole body when wearing a mask or from the back.

Maris, never. We saw her shadow in her cruise ship cabin and sucking on a straw through a hole in her shipping crate while her maid Marta held the glass. Forget it if you think I'm explaining that further.

Vera was seen on one episode, but her face was plastered with Boston Cream Pie during a pie fight when she opened the door. She only spoke three words as the credits rolled..."Nice friends, Norm."

Further, if Miles O'Brien is chief of operations and there are all these officers on the station, why is he so over worked in handling everything?
You made me think of Morn from Deep Space Nine, you could see him but he never sopke.

Bruce was cast in 3 last season episodes (confirmed by IMDB).... Played by a chap called John Evitts

Diane on Twin Peaks. She was the one Agent Dale Cooper talked to on his dictophone all the time.

I'm not sure if she counts because 25 years later Showtime did a wrap-up season and she was seen on that season.

These are old references, but Flip Wilson used to do a female character named Geraldine. She would often refer to her boyfriend, "Killer."

And Phyllis Diller would talk about her husband, "Fang," in her act.

True but then again, Nova didn't speak in the first POTA flick, either.

Further, Morn did get some kind of recognition in Deep Space Nine during the season when the station was in Dominion hands. Remember when they had to get a message out that the mind field was coming down and they used Morn on the way to his Mom's birthday? "Favor the Bold"

ROSS: Are you sure this is reliable?
SISKO: I've known the courier for five years. I trust him.
If that kind of recognition doesn't say that a minor character is major in the story, what does?
