From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Ah, so it's not a given, then. My thinking was that in a largely visual medium (or a medium which is often treated as such, anyway), that which is out of frame does not appear. Though I suppose thinking in terms of comic stories, it wouldn't seem right to say a character doesn't appear if they're given a speech bubble, even if they're never seen directly within the story.
