Line 100:
** As of season five, it seems that he's still in here, as evidenced by "My Bloody Valentine"...but then again, Cas was {{spoiler|exploded, AGAIN, in the finale, so now who knows.}}
** "Abandon All Hope" counts for Ellen and Jo Harvelle. They haven't been seen for quite a while and then they come back after their appearance in the beginning of season 5 only for Jo to be wounded by a hellhound, and her and Ellen volunteering to stay behind and blow up a store to help the Winchesters escape. There's also "Hammer of the Gods" for Gabriel/The Trickster who had a big reveal about him in "Changing Channels", but then was murdered by his brother while doing exactly what the aforementioned duo had done.
** In Season 7 we have "At Death's Door", which is all about a comatose Bobby (who was shot at the end of the previous episode), trapped in his own head and trying to evade the [[The Grim Reaper|Reaper]] chasing him and trying to find a way to wake up, in order to give some vital information to Sam and Dean about the Leviathans, all while running through his memories (telling us more about him than we'd learned in the past). At the end, he's given the choice of either moving on with the Reaper or staying behind and becoming a
* ''[[Harper's Island]]'' did this quite a lot. Particularly with Booth, Kelly, Richard, Maggie, and Beth. They had so many characters that they didn't have time to properly let us get to know them first.
* In ''[[Burn Notice]]'', Victor died almost as soon as we found out what his deal was.
Line 137:
* The ''[[Justice League]]'' episode "The Terror Beyond". Beforehand, Solomon Grundy was [[The Brute]] and [[Dumb Muscle]] with no motivation beyond greed. In this episode, Grundy's backstory is revealed, and he's given a very sympathetic motivation to fight alongside the good guys. Naturally, he dies fighting Icthultu and many tears are shed over him.
** Then again, one of his powers is the ability to come [[Back From the Dead]]...which was the whole reason he agreed to come along, as a [[Human Sacrifice]] was needed to defeat Ichthultu and someone like Grundy was going to present less of a moral dilemma to that end. He returns for an episode of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''...but has [[Came Back Wrong]] and devolved into [[The Berserker]] and has to be killed by [[Anti-Magic]], again [[Played for Drama]]. Given the manner of his death, its not clear if he will again return from the grave or was finally [[Killed Off for Real]], but regardless he does not reappear in the series again.
* Nabu was introduced in Season 3 of ''[[Winx Club]]'' as Layla's love interest [[Shallow Love Interest|...and that's all]]. However, the final episodes of season 4 focused on him a lot, showing his sheer badassery, to the point of beating one of the four [[Big Bad
* In ''[[South Park]]'', Kenny, although always part of the main cast, barely had any effect on the plot up until "Kenny Dies", after which he is killed off ([[Death Is Cheap|for a season]]).
