Blinking makes eye disappear completely

Not sure what is going on, but when I blink, the entire eye disappears, but the blink artwork does not display. I have 4 other characters set up the same way, and they are fine.

Can you share a screenshot of the rigging hierarchy? Also check the correct blink tags are on the left and right eyes (and not on other layers). Blinks hide all siblings, so the most common mistake is to get their nesting position wrong in the hierarchy, causing them to hide more than expected. If left and right eyes are siblings for example, I have no idea what would happen (both hide all siblings, so both blink layers would become invisible?)

The basic structure seems fine. I notice the profiles (Left/Right/Front). I wonder if they are kicking in somehow. To eliminate the profiles, I would delete the "Left" and "Right" and see if that makes a difference - to eliminate profiles as an issue. (Delete in CH, try it, then click "undo".)

 

Next I would look at the Behaviors for Face and Eye Gaze to expand the Handles and Views sections. Are they binding to the correct layers? E.g. is there a stray blink tag on an unepected layer? The bindings might help spot that.
