Throughout season 3 it is very difficult to sort out what is being intentionally withholding, as some sort of artistic, perhaps anti-nostalgia statement (you want Cooper going to get some coffee and pie at the RR well TOUGH SHIT, you want Cooper and Audrey to share a scene together well NOT GONNA HAPPEN), and what just...sort of happened, perhaps without much concern for continuity or what the fans want, and Annie seems a part of that.
Frost has said something like there just wasn't time for Annie in season 3...We all know this is frankly ridiculous when you have 5 minutes to spare to watch somebody sweeping a floor, or multiple subplots full of new characters that at the end of the day, never even arrived at anything (I'm not complaining: I love how bizarre the plotting is in season 3, but I wonder things like why wasn't the green glove given to someone we already know? Why does James just sort of a passive observer here? Etc, etc.) It's not like any of us can't imagine Annie being an active presence in the season (especially as the show expanded well past the town limits of Twin Peaks), perhaps being part of one of the teams trying to find Cooper, perhaps in her own state of post-Lodge madness (would have loved to see Heather Graham perform that), perhaps just off to the sidelines doing some weird subplot or another like so many others (Jerry, Ben, Nadine, Audrey, etc.) As a friend of mine said, "How's Annie?", more like "Who's Annie?"
I wonder if they genuinely just had no interest, or if it actually didn't occur to them. To be a fly on the wall on those scriptwriting sessions.
