Millie Scott left North Fork to take care of her ailing sister.
Millie Scott, portrayed by actress Joan Taylor, was a character on the classic television series “The Rifleman,” which aired from 1958 to 1963. She was introduced in the third season as the new owner of the general store in North Fork, the town where the series is set. Millie became a love interest for the show’s protagonist, Lucas McCain, played by Chuck Connors.
In the storyline, Millie’s departure from North Fork is explained by her need to leave the town to care for her sick sister. This plot development occurred off-screen, and the character did not return to the series after Joan Taylor left the show. The reason for Taylor’s departure from “The Rifleman” was not widely publicized, so the specifics behind the decision for Millie’s character to leave remain largely unknown to the public. However, it was not uncommon for characters in television series of that era to exit without elaborate on-screen goodbyes or explanations.
