Back then, few TV characters had much of a backstory, maybe I wasn't paying much attention.
It could be that making her real would also be perceived as too threatening to many mindsets running TV back then, and a questionable ratings driver. Much like the thinking of a hot news lady is good for ratings, but get an asian, so she will not be seen as a sexual threat by wasp women. A seen, but, better not, heard deal. SExual tension, with the male non sexual, the women off limits.
I am thinking Riggs was kept in the background because of that thinking. Too bad they didn't know how to deal with a strong woman character back then. To me, the show only came alive when she hit the scene. Of course, me being about thirteen at the time might also have something to do with it.
