Here’s Why Juanita Was Never Seen on ‘The Andy Griffith Show’

Whenever I watch The Andy Griffith Show, I am reminded about that program’s wonderful cast of characters. I love them so much, and their faces are forever etched into my noggin. That said, there’s one longtime character that we never actually see: Juanita, the waitress over at the Bluebird Diner. Although unseen, Juanita is a constant presence on the show; Barney is always talking about her wistfully. And Andy? Well, he seems to enjoy egging his deputy along.
