The figures who come in and out of James Bond’s life is a fast and dangerous ride. Most either leave the field by dying or just never come back.

Here are some of the most surprising characters that could have re-teamed with James Bond, but never did.

SYLVIA TRENCH

Sylvia Trench is the first woman we see Sean Connery’s James Bond paling around with. Not only does Ms. Trench feature at the beginning of Dr. No, she also turns up on a date with Bond during his first moments in the sequel.

As it turns out, this was part of a pretty substantial plan to have Sylvia Trench appear as somewhat of a regular girlfriend. A notion has been floated that Sylvia Trench was supposed to be featured in the first few Jame’s movies with Ms. Trench presumably taking center stage in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Seeing as that was the entry that saw Dame Diana Rigg’s Tracy Bond meet her untimely fate, it sounds like Sylvia Trench could have been the originally planned.

ANYA AMOSAVA

The supposed plan was for Anya to make a cameo and if this had come to pass, she would have been shown as a lover to General Gogol. But for an unspecified reason, this never happened.

GENERAL LEONARD PUSHKIN

Last appearing in The Living Daylights, General Pushkin would have returned in a brief scene where James Bond not only helps him select a superior caviar, he also grills him on the death of a defecting KGB spy. Alas, sometimes the circumstances just don’t fit the bill.

COLONEL WAI LIN

After her appearance in 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies, Michele Yeoh’s Colonel Wai Lin who did eventually share a romantic moment with James Bond; but only after resisting his charms until the mission at hand was completed. But, was a sign of things to come that never panned out.

GIACINTA JINX JOHNSON

Die Another Day, despite having some interesting elements contained within, is the ultimate hub of missed opportunities in the James Bond franchise. The plan was soon settled to delve into the life of Halle Berry’s Giacinta “Jinx” Johnson before she joined the NSA.
