He was? I want photographic evidence!

Can't do photos, but I can do wikipedia entries:

The launderette is owned by Mr Papadopolous. Regular employees of the launderette are Pauline Fowler and Dot Branning, who have worked there since the start of the show. Carol Jackson, Marge Green, Mary Smith and Lynne Hobbs have also worked there. A recurring joke in the series is that Papadopolous (whose name Dot Banning can never pronounce) is never seen, only mentioned in ominous tones ("Oooh, Mr Opodopowotsit won't be happy!"). This was rather spoiled somewhat when he appeared on EastEnders tenth anniversary episode.

turgid yet oddly bestseling chick lit author " Jodi Picoult" is in fact a marketing ploy involving a trio of 3 ( at the last count ) ghostwriters working to produce what seems to be an endless stream of popular easy reading novelettes for thrusting middle class mums in South East London.

 

[Macabre]

princess anastasia romanov, just some old bint pretending to be her.

If we're counting fictional character Sherlock Holmes is, apparently, thought by many to have really excisted.

[tommers]

Amber off of Spaced.

I'm sure you see her legs disappearing downstairs (or upstairs) in one episode.

[Fez909]

Ugly naked guy from friends. *Edit* I'm wrong! He appears twice according to Wiki. That'll teach me to point out other people's mistakes before making my own

Also, the person who suggested 'im upstairs on Trap Door is wrong as his voice is heard in every episode.

 

[danny la rouge]

Maris, the wife of Niles Crane.

There doesn't seem to be any examples from classic literature. It seems that the unseen fictional character is largely used as a comic device of unseen menace ('er indoors, Granville's mother) or as cheap non-existent extras in soap operas.

Hounds of the Baskervilles.
