Line 68:
** And of course we can't forget Leia, whose [[Happily Adopted|other daddy]] had an equally good reason for "[[Earthshattering Kaboom|abandoning]]" her...
* [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] in ''[[The Truman Show]]'', where the writers decide to bring back Truman's father after he'd "died" at sea. This is explained through [[Easy Amnesia]], and his just then getting over it.
* Subverted to heartbreaking effect in [[Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara]]: {{Spoiler|Imran, who had a rocky relationship with his parents and has just learn that the recently deceased man he called "father" all his life in reality wasn't related to him, goes all the way to Spain to find his biological father and ask him why he left his mother and why he didn't show interest on his existence. Turns out daddy didn't have a ''good'' reason to abandon you, he just simply ''didn't want'' children on his life, so he had no remorse in abandoning his pregnant girlfriend when she wanted to keep the baby and was glad that other man picked up that responsibility. To twist the knife even more, is pretty obvious that even at an old age the guy ''still'' doesn't want children of his own, and is in a relationship with a childless woman.}}
