* The process is slower than in other examples, but ''[[Degrassi]]'' has gradually retired its early characters in favor of new ones. Snake is the only one who's been a main character the whole time, and he's usually a minor character.
* ''[[Damages]]'' tends to revolve around this trope with the appeal of the show generally being that most of the guest stars (and series lead Glenn Close) are film actors (William Hurt, Martin Short, John Goodman etc.) or other actors who normally don't do TV. In a given season these actors usually play the [[Big Bad]] or other characters that are somehow tied up in the plaintiff's case. At the end of the season a case is usually resolved and most of the supporting cast are either killed off or [[Put On a Bus|put on buses indefinitely]]. It's also notable that of the original {{spoiler|six}} main characters so far only {{spoiler|two}} have not been killed off or sent to prison with only a few characters added since then getting any luckier. The luck of the guest cast is almost worse.
* Brazilian soap opera ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malha<!-- C3A7%C3%A7%C3%A3o Malhação]]'' has had a lot of this since [[LongRunnerLong Runner|its inception in 1995]] - even changing the setting (from a gym to a high school, then another high school) to justify it. The actor with the longest run (6 years) even joked he and the runner-up (5 years) stood so long because they never scored with anyone in the soap opera. -->
